Which Turntable??

It is time for me to go back to vinyl.

For a turntable I am debating between a new Pro-Ject Elemental belt drive with W & F given as .14% & a used Technics SL-1800 DD with W & F given as .025% wrms.

Is this a typo or is the 1800 really that much better? Technics describes their W & F as infinitesimal.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks---r

The laser TT has been around for a long time; first demonstrated in around 1980. See this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_turntable.

If you go for the ELP be prepared to spend extra effort cleaning your LPs. They have trouble tracking even the tiniest dusty bits. I've seen albums cleaned on a Loricraft that won't play properly on the ELP and sound great on the owner's other turntable. Cheers,
