Reloop turntables
I fancy getting a direct drive turntable, Reloop decks caught my eye.
The Turn 5 with ortofon 2m red fitted is at the stretch of my budget.
Any members able to advise?
I would rather buy new than used...just passed on my gl75 as I didnt have the abilities to keep it sweet.

DD's are great decks. This is my first and its very good. A different presentation but pretty solid. I would think for that money you could get better second hand. I have seen that deck in pics and it looks like a rebranded copy of a techy. I would try and stretch beyond a red tho. its not great.

The reloop and the Audio Technics just look like a Technics but are not as well engineered so why not get a Technics? You can good a good used one for half what the Reloop costs, stick a better arm on it, you'll still have change and a killer deck. Rich B had a stock one with a Rega arm on it, sounded superb.
If it has to be new I'd budget a little more and get one of the new Technics, they are impressive even with the supplied tonearm.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I have to agree, a Rega arm on the Technics will be very good. Should still have a bit of change too.

If in your position, I'd have this away.

But unfortunately ergonomically horrible. With the cartridge at the right height, the armlifter sits too low and is awkward to use. Google photos and you'll see what I mean. I've tried this with two Rega arms.
Oh, I didn't know this, great shout Geoff
