So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?

This guy always has a few nice DD tables. He always recaps them and goes over all the electronics so you get a nice machine. Worth checking him out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRwg7OGjAQM

Thanks, Halcro, for chiming in with your opinion on the TT81 vs TT101. I really like my TT101, but I have no way to know how the two compare.

Uber, After deciding at one point to sell the DP80, because I wasn't using it (and because who needs 5 turntables?), and then not being able to get much money for it, I just recently put it back into operation.  I was not as fond of the DK300 plinth as Chak apparently is, so I replaced it with a 65-lb slate slab, and I mounted a Triplanar on the slab to work with the DP80.  (Mine came with a DA307 tonearm, which is sitting in a shoebox somewhere.) I recently put the DP80 ensemble back into regular use for MM cartridges (or other high output types).  So now I am back up to 3 turntables feeding my upstairs system.  And 2 for the basement system.  I know this is nuts, and I fear for my heirs who will not even know how to run all the equipment.  One problem that arises is I cannot keep 5 cartridges happy; they like to be used often to sound best.

A comment on the "bi-directional servo":  The TT101 (and the TT81, if Halcro says so) certainly have exceptional speed control, but when JP Jones eventually fixed my TT101 and got it working, his comments on the "bi-directional"-ness of the servo were of a skeptical nature, if I recall correctly.  (One would think that the term indicates the platter is not only speeded up, if too slow, but also retarded, if its running too fast.  Not sure that really happens.) I cannot recall the specifics; maybe JP will comment if he is around.  Anyway, it doesn't matter, because the point is that the system works superbly although very electrically complex.

@halcro   Thanks.
