question about these turntables

Mechans which turntable caught your eye? I kind of like the
TROVATORE model.

I'm glad you asked this question about Rekokut, as I asked the same question a year or so ago, also included a querry about the current Merril AR replica turntable at about the same price as the Rekocut .I got only a few vague respones, as you did, going back to the Rekokuts made in the 60's, rather than current models. This led me to believe almost nobody knows much about the above turntables.

I like the looks of all their tables, specs and prices look very reasonable as well.
I found a few reviews that seemed favorable and the wife also seems to like it as well; so the wife acceptance factor is also a positive.

I had a RekoKut 2 speed belt drive with a Grado Lab tonearm attached....either an ADC II or Sonus Blue cartridge. In those days I just changed equipment like women (those days are gone)... I remember the sound was great..no reason to have changed. (Think I'll keep my wife, even though there are lots of annoying issues)

This is the go-to brand for 78 rpm playback. It is more than adequate for 33.3 and 45, but everything about it is optimized for 78 rpm. I use one for that, and I'm very happy with it.
