Rank choice of three turntables

Price, distance, coolness factor, what are your priorities? Is it being shipped or are you picking it up? Are we talking just the TT or complete table with plinth, tonearm, and cartridge?

For me, at this stage of the game (I’m 64), if I went with a DD table, I’d want one with a repeat feature. I also love the looks of the Denon tables as well and would have them on my list to consider. The other JVC tables are way cool too but I think the ones with the Biotracer type arms are too complex for my comfort level. The Yamaha PX2/PX3 is another cool table IMO as well as some of the Luxman tables.

I currently have an Ariston RD-80SL w/Jelco arm

I am a big fan of multiple tonearms, and chose the JVC TT81 in a 2 arm JVC CL-P2 plinth, (my research leading me to avoid the TT101 and 801 as too prone to needing service, and too few sources for service). Those large plinths have dust covers, a must for me. I use a small inexpensive totally quiet 120/100 transformer, no need to avoid a 100v model IMO.

Single arm, many options exist:

"Many integrated players which used the same drives and/or Double Bi-Directional Servo technology were available as well like, among others : QL-10, QL-7 or QL-F6, all based on the TT-101, TT-81 or TT-71 drives."

I just bought a vintage UA-7082 11-1/8" tonearm for mine, it is a wonderfully precise device. Mine had renewed suspension of the rear counterweight section, learn about that, I am very glad I took a chance on it.

The Micro Seiki is a clever design, such a different look, and the dust cover will need to be even larger/taller/heavier. I really like their 505 arms.

Technics: I would add the Vintage SP-15 and SP-25 QLDD TT’s to the Technics list, the 15 is 3 speeds, and they let you use the EPA-B500 Tonearm Base, a wonderful way to have alternate arm wands and cartridges in a compact package, excellent arm height adjustment, one example

check the specs, they compare to the very latest/best achieved

scroll down to the bottom of the list for the SP-15 and SP-25

You might want to add Luxman PD-444 to your list

If the TT101 is working, it’s my favorite of those 3. I own one, and I have owned two different SP 10 mk2. The MS will have some admirers too; I’ve no direct experience, but I don’t care for the tonearm mount design. I doubt anyone here has hands on experience with all 3.
