Good Direct Drives

So I still keep thinking upgrading my current, Awia/Rega plinth/motor with debut arm and Ortofon cart turntable but after owning many years ago a few SL1200 and SL1210 MK2 and Mk5 I am hankering after a change in TT

But not sure what old model Technics or Pioneer to go for. Unless someone else can suggest another DD of this type etc

Thanks

@alexberger SME Model 20 and 30 have the best wow, flutter, and rumble tested performance out of any turntable ever made at any price. And both are belt driven.

Some direct drive tables are great, but the very best have been belt driven historically.

The Papst motors SME use are state of the art. Definitely not toys.

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.
