That's exactly what I would do. If you truly believe "it's all about the music" you should buy a new turntable and forget about all the hassles with old components that constantly require attention and repair. Like you, I am more interested in listening to music than fussing with old equipment.
You might look into the new Technics SL-1200 turntables or possibly a new VPI Prime turntable. Both have gotten excellent reviews by inmates here in the Vinyl Asylum. Personally, I have two friends with VPI Prime turntables and they are both very impressed with them. As for me, I like the new Technics SL-1200G, but I don't own one. I own an older SL-1200 Mk2 turntable and I think it's an excellent turntable.
Good luck,

What part of the OP's question would suggest that his SP10 Mk2 is problematic? Even if he were having issues with the SP10, every single part in an SP10 is now replaceable with new, even including the chip that runs the servo mechanism. And the SL1200 Mk2 is naught but a budget version of the SP10 Mk2... So, I don't get it. The new SL1200G might be superior to an SP10, but at a cost.
I like new modern turntables!I don't like repairing old components.
I don't know why you don't understand that, but it's okay with me. I don't care whether you understand or not.
Good luck,
John Elison
