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.

Yes I agree the auto shutoff is not a feature I would search out to own but the TT has it and I want to adjust it, I will do some research but sometimes members here can be more helpful than any manual.

And I suspect you are right on the tt81......

I guess you were so right on the tt-81.
I struck a deal for it.
Oh well it's only money.

Within this price bracket, I would recommend the Sansui Sr-929, aka "black beauty"

My brother has Denon DP59. Never had any issues with it.

I basically now have three very nice tt that I like the sound and operation of each one set up in my main rig.
So here are my next questions.
I am thinking of having all three plugged into say a high quality passive switching box so I can easily swap from one to the other without changing cable inputs on my phono which only has one input.
The question is would anybody consider this to be potential detrimental move regarding sq by signal degradation or?
Does anybody do this themselves here?
And lastly would anybody have a suggestion for a high quality switch box that would work for three tt inputs?
Thanks
