Top ten DD turntables of all time?

For vintage DD tables, Technic's and Kenwood come immediatly to mind. Both are hard to come by (in excellent condition anyway) and the Kenwood is hard to find and fairly expensive. But, then you knew that........

Don't agree with you on the vintage DD tables.

Anyway,
1) Rockport Sirius
2) Goldmund Reference
3) Micro Seiki DDX-1500
4) Micro Seiki DDX-1000
5) Denon DP-60L
6) Technics SP-10
7) Technics SL-1200
8) Revox 780?(DD w/linear arm)
9) Denon DP-55F
10)any more mass market japanese stuff

As Newbee said, I loved my Kenwood KP-5022A. IMO, this was the best reasonably priced DD vintage table from the '70's. Technics were much more common. They would take the abuse inflicted upon them by DJ work; the 5022A would not. Far superior fidelity from this Kenwood, though! Good luck finding one. If you're interested, I could see if the party to whom I sold it would be interested in selling it now. It would definitely need a tune-up, though.

Some of my happiest high end memories took place when I was using a

Kenwood KD-500 direct drive turntable -- a high end cult favourite in the late 70's

Tweaky platter mat, some clay like stuff called "platter matter" stuck to the underside

a good record clamp

SME III fluid damped arm and a Grado signature cartridge

Not some thing you see every day on ebay but you could pick one up cheap when they come along

Good luck
