If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ...

Let's say one that cost less than $3K, with cartridge, what would you look at? I'd been thinking about a Technics SL-1200GR, but they seem no longer to be available. Which has led me to the Thorens 403, the Music Hall Stealth, and ...?

Please do help.

Unless, that is, I end up getting a Rega and stick with belt drive.

Thanks for indulging me on my quest, as I'm old and don't have limitless funds.

@mijostyn  : I can't understand for sure what trounced what but what I'm sure is that the Kenwood TT trounced the SME and your SOTA one:

Oscillating motors do not belong under phonograph cartridges. 

Oscillating motors? What turntable can you cite that relies on an oscillating motor?!?

I will admit now being an LP12 owner now, I am very happy. It is really an exceptional table.

@cleeds, it's plain to see that mijostyn5 has a disdain for anything direct drive. He makes up wild accusations and never has anything to back them up. I think his subscription to the 70's English audio publications ran out so he just sits there and rereads them.
