Seriously, seems the world goes round and round.
AfterThorens and Rega TTs, I bought and restored a Rek-o-Kut (sitting in the basement), then went on to a super nice Technics SP15.
All in all, the RoK sounds better than both belt driven TTs. But the Technics is clearly superior to the RoK.
The SP15 is currently installed in a custom plinth with an old (and mint) Audio Technica 12 in. arm, with, on the other side an equally mint SME3009.
I think that the high torque offered by the idlers and DDs adds something very important to the restitution of sound.
