Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations?


I have a Denon DP-45F table mated to a Denon DL-301MKII - love it!!

I am going to keep my eyes open for a second deck and wondering if you have any strong recommendations. I like direct drive tables and it needs to at the least have an automatic return.
With some health issues the need for the table to end on its own is important. It doesn't need to return even or turn off....just lift!!

A step up would be nice. I would consider belt driven too. I'm open!!

I am thinking a Denon DP59L maybe. Any other decks you would have me consider?

Thanks in advance for your input. I appreciate it.

A buddy in Australia just bought that same TT and absolutely loves it. They do perform very well. As stated, my DP-45F mated to the DL301MKII is a lovely sounding combo.

Enjoy your TT.

In this price range: Lenco L75. I own three top end direct-drives, which I love dearly, but my Lenco holds its own among them. With all due respect, IMO the Lenco if well set up will be superior in many ways to mid-level vintage direct-drives. Depends on how one hears turntables and what one wants from the turntable, proper (as opposed to tonearm/cartridge).
