that you're conflating "PLL" with Quartz referencing? The SP10 (first version) is different from the SP10 Mk2 and Mk3 in that the former did not employ a quartz crystal reference for speed control by the servo. All subsequent high end direct-drives did that too, so far as I know.
Also, FWIW, the JVC uses a Hall sensor to regulate speed, as I think Penquin said, in the TT101 for sure. There's definitely no tape strip or external monitoring of platter speed. And TT101 motor is coreless, for sure. Hall sensor and coreless kind of go together.
Re your TT81 vs SP10 Mk2 comparison, I once owned an SP10 Mk2A and still own a Denon DP80. Both were completely serviced with new caps and other parts where necessary and both were mounted in slate plinths that were pretty near identical in mass, etc. Mk2A sounded great, but I slightly preferred the DP80, which is why I still own it. Of course, this is in my system and based on my subjective judgement only. However, Mk3 blows away DP80. I think there's more potential in the DP80 that I have not unlocked.
