RE: Old-school , name one ....?

You do realize that BD TT's have consistently been considered the best table type for the last 4 decades , yes imagine that, DD tables are so much better the market is flooded with them.

VPI is not a good example with their DD..


It's been my experience that good sonics can be had from all TT type drive systems, but BD TT's alway sound more natural to me and to most audiophiles and is considered the better table by many, speed stability is not an issue with every BD TT, unless you talking really inexpensive BD tables.

Platter weight is very important with BD tables.

TT over the years 1973- current

AR ES1, LP12, Micro Seiki, BL51, Solid5,DQX500 Thorens,124,126, Rega,2 Garrard 401,zero 100SB, Technics,1200,SL202 Kenwood 500,650, SOTA sapphire

Currently only have 5 out of the bunch ...

I did have a Dual many years ago, was not fond of it so it went (cant recall model) and have heard many , many Sota setups over the decades, from a time when audiophiles used to actually compare and shoot out stuff, not this mine is better than yours internet BS of today.

SO , no i cannot agree that DD turntables are better than BD, i have heard them both sound good, but ultimately BD has always won out as the choice to stay..

regards
