Does a Voyd reference or a big Transrotor ( was about 25k new) with three motors and magnetic decoupling of the belt drive system from the platter/bearing? What about the SME20/2 or the acoustic Signature Challenger? A Michel Gyrodeck (DC version) or a Linn Sondek?
What about the Dr. Feickert Twin with Kuzma airline arm and Lyra Skalla cart?
All of these were quite good, especially the Feickert and the Voyd, but not better than top DDs I have heard and owned at length.

What was the deal with the SME 20/2
Well you put an Allnic speednic strob weight on it and you can watch the speed varying slightly as you actually play a record. A little forward a little backwards but the strob lines were not rock solid. Also, initially it was runnning a bit slow, so we had to bring it up to the right speed first...but then it wasn't stable with the music playing. So, IMO, it failed its primary purpose...speed stability.
Do the same with my Yamaha and even touch the edge of the platter with your finger and you get no dancing of the strob whatsoever. Essentially perfect speed stability, loaded or unloaded or under fluctuating load.
The other BD TTs were all slightly off the right speed. We had to tune up every single one of them. Who knows how long they will hold to the correct speed? The big transrotor did at least look pretty stable when playing a record.
