Wow! $1200 for a belt-drive turntable. What a bargain!

TMBackstrom I'd go so far as to say belt drive is the absolute standard for hi-fi. We don't care about how good it is for rapidly changing speeds, or scratching, or other various DJ-oriented stuff.

TWD-IndustriesThink I'll stick with my Denon DP-47F direct-drive. Been working fine since 1988. I do need to get a new cartridge, though.

TMBackstromOh man, we absolutely should start getting cart drops. Nagaoka or Grado would suit me fine.

TMBackstromThe vast majority of modern audiophile turntables are belt drive. Check out VPI, Rega and many others.
In fact there is, if anything, a bias against direct drive turntables by many in the audiophile reviewing class.
