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


Pretty much as the title says.
Have been looking for a while for a decent DD table to add to my lot.
Have bought a few lower end ones and ultimately been dissapointed.
Now I know there were/ are literally hundreds of choices from the Japanese Golden era of DD tables.
Looking for suggestions from actual owners of solid DD tables up to about $1000 .
I have read and read but nothing substitutes for real experience.
This would likely not be my primary table, my Garrard 401 has that position for now.

Thank you.

It is not understood because many do not read all the posts but hasten to write their own solutions and advice.
Exactly Best Groove.

But as I have said it is all good as I LOVE hearing about vintage DD TT because I am sure this will not be my last foray.
So the more information and knowledge the better as far as i am concerned.
Does the Technics SL-1200 MKII count in this discussion? I've been wanting to try one and found one that doesn't look like it's done DJ duty and has some KAB upgrades at a reasonable price. I should have it next week.
Anything DD goes as far as I am concerned Greg.
Be interesting to hear your thoughts on it.

My second system TT is a Sony PS-LX22.
Which is about as cheap and cheerful a DD TT as you can get on paper.
But with its original Sony MM cart running through my vintage Sanyo receiver it sounds pretty darn good.
MUCH better than a Kenwood KD2100 belt drive TT that was just flat in comparison with supposedly superior vintage AT mm carts tried on it.
Grand total cost of $38 shipped from fleabay.... Lol.
