In Reply to: How low are your standards? posted by Curious on July 23, 2014 at 08:20:29:
My absolute bottom line requirement is that a turntable spin at accurate speed (NAB standards) and without audible wow/flutter or rumble and hum. That rules out some built-to-no-specs turntables that are marketed as 'audiophile entry level' and of course the low end Crosley, Ion, and BPC toys from the '80s. I'm more interested in accurate, high-fidelity performance than pleasing euphonic distortion caused by spinning-too-fast speed errors and that sort of thing.
I have a linear tracking Technics SL-6 with inexpensive P-Mount cartridge in my downstairs system. It's certainly not as refined as or as capable as the SP-15 and modified SL-1200MK5 in my studio, but it provides good performance without objectionable flaw. It was a $10 yard sale find, very nice for what it is.
To answer your other question, yes, I've reached the point where I'm completely satisfied with the two turntables in my studio system.
