One bake off i would love to hear is between a Pioneer PL71 and a Sony PS6750 direct drive turntable. I recently had a very brief listen to a Sony though i have to admit it had an inexpensive mm cartridge in the sharp end. Any views on this here? The only downside to the Sony in my view is an extra mechanism on the tone arm lift. It still sounds pretty darn good once the arm is in use. The one at Mibo sounded great.
