... it's everything else :-P
Too durn complicated. Overbuilt/overengineered for the job at hand. Never cared for any of them: idler, belt, or DD. I own a 1019, but only for sentimental value (it was given to us by a good friend).b&o? Well, I use a b&o TX-2 in the living room. If nothing else, it tracks well. Given what I have invested in it, it's pretty good.
Yamaha, Sony, and Pioneer? With, as others have said, a very few exceptions, this is a pretty lackluster bunch. If you must have a massmarket Japanese TT, Your average Technics were probably better than most of the offerings of the aforementioned three.
JVC actually made some darn nice tt's in the late 1970's (available with or without arms), albeit DD.
all the best,
mrh
