Which Turntable??

It is time for me to go back to vinyl.

For a turntable I am debating between a new Pro-Ject Elemental belt drive with W & F given as .14% & a used Technics SL-1800 DD with W & F given as .025% wrms.

Is this a typo or is the 1800 really that much better? Technics describes their W & F as infinitesimal.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks---r

Thanks for comments. Actually the Elemental is avail with or w/o USB/ preamp. There is no need for that feature.

By speed accuracy i assume you mean wow & flutter. What I was struck by is the big difference--- .025 comp to .15 for the Elemental. Is that because the former is DD?

I am using a Denon 395 going through a 4 spkr, 4 ohm set up. The speakers are Def Tech SM45 & JBL G300.

VPI Scout looks like it is a bit high.

When the 4/ 4 set doesn't give enough bass I will hit the Loudness & most of the time one or the other spkr will do the trick.
