I have always wanted a second turntable or should I say 3rd as I already own a VPI Scout 1.1 (belter) and a Lenco GL75 (Idler) so a Direct Drive would be my next prefered option as I believe it would be great for certain types of music . I have been looking at the Audio Technica DD turntables but also considered the Technics Sl1200 or SL1500 although these re far more expensive. Would be interesting to know how the Audio Technica turntables compare to the Technics?

I was watching this guy's video yesterday, he has more about the LP120 and the 1200. I would take most Technics tables over the AT, not just the 1200. If you are patient you can find them for the right price. Same for other vintage Japanese tables.

I would certainly take most tables over the AT120 . . . it's got issues (as the video eludes to). Absolutely there are a lot of other vintage Japanese TT's out there which would certainly fir the bill. Ton's on eBay at the moment actually.

Denon 301 Mk2. Cheap easy to set up and very quiet in the groove.

That's really nice Jim. I had a DL 304 which unfortunately met with a sticky end which knackered the internal suspension and rendered it dead . . . . Denon were making some real quality around then.

It was a nice cartridge. Very good for the price and a good budget MC starter.
