I have an 80's JVC QL DD 100% original turntable that sounds great. I have definitely heard better, played with equipment that is probably 100% better than what I have. But it is accurate and reliable. It wasn't the best TT available and sell for way less than they are really worth. Mine is one owner and in 100% mint condition for the age. It doesn't speed hunt and is 100% on the money for accuracy.
