@eshedu1 why are the most expensive turntables in the world belt driven? Some costing in upwards of $30,000? Check out VPI's turntables you will be amazed.
@jogmas12 Not another direct drive hater... Seriously, does direct drive produce a little more noise? Certainly. But I can say that the noise generated from my SL-1200M3D isn't noticeable even with unshielded Grado cartridges. So for those looking to bash the 1200, start looking for weak points elsewhere besides direct drive because the durability and reliability of these things is remarkable. This SL-1200 will be playing like new 10 years after your belts have rotted and your motor burns up.
@pikotaboada wrong. you need to look at the youtube video showing edgar villchur, the creator of the AR turntable, in that video he talks about turntable design and you will see that belt driven units have the lowest wow, flutter and rumble. Just type AR turntable Edgar Villchur.
@eshedu1 i have an acoustic research beltdriven turntable i which was made in 1984 and it still sounds and play records very well.
