Advice on turntables

in response to secretguy , I have no complaints about the well tempered turntable. It actually sounds very good to my ears, but I wanted to have a more traditional turntable in my set up.

  Oberoniaomnia raises some very important questions, for me to consider. I prefer a more traditional look, but I am not a tinkerer. I don’t consider myself skillful enough and I mainly am just wanting something with that traditional look that I can set up that will not need much adjusting, etc. Don’t think I would need but one tone arm. So maybe I need to give some thought to these provocative questions and rethink what I’m looking for. Thanks

If you move on from a WTT/TA, you may regret it.  
I did when mine started showing its age after over 30 happy years, and my first attempt to “improve” on it was not successful. I now have a Technics SL100C I am happy with, but it leaves my “esoteric” itch unscratched. 

Dr. Feikert turntables are world class.  I have experience with a Blackbird and must say that it is impressive.  If I am not mistaken Music Direct sells them and if so you can turn to them for specific advice on both models.  They also offer a 60 day return privilege.  Let us know how you progress.  BTW, I have no affiliation with either company.

If you are looking for a more classic style looking turntable you might want to look at the Project Xtension 12 I have one for the last 2 years, and it is a very solid and great sounding TT for the money, the only upgrade that I did for it was to get a LPR which made it even better. Pro-Ject Xtension 12 Turntable - Mahogany - No Cartridge

By the way I have a total of 4 Turntables 2 direct drive and 2 belt drive.

Dr Feikert is in a different league than anything made by Pro-Ject. But you also need a great arm and cart to take full advantage at the blackbird level. 

Personally I’m on my second Clearaudio TT.
