Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
Pani: Did you listen to your Technics 1200G before you had the Time-Step PSU installed? 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
"As I listened more I also realized that the 1200G does not have the fluidity that I am used to with the Garrard or other belt drive TTs I have heard. Notes bloom but die out instantly, followed by a silence before the next note. "I just got my...

For me, the big news was the possible reissue  by SME of the Garrard 301 in 2019. 
Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G
 I also have a Pioneer PLX1000 that I bought brand new - $700. I have a Denon 103R on it. And it sounds just fine! Made in Japan, too! I can't hear any "cogging" with it - contrary to what some "golden ears" will claim! The Pioneer PLX 1000 is ...

Spatial Audio X2 really impressed me at RMAF.

I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000
If you want an easy to deal with turntable that has good reviews, look at the Technics 1200G.  People who own them generally seem very happy with them. 
What's it worth?
The Technics is not a bad table if you tweak it a bit Link for Luxman 121 prices .http://https//www.hifishark.com/search?q=Luxman+121  
Good Direct Drives
@invictus005     It was a rhetorical question but I largely agree with you.I might feel differently if there were someone nearby who sold refurbished SP 10s and would stand by them if problems arose.
