Ok, not necessarily the second best per se. But maybe the best second tier turntable in the world!
With the big gun pieces, the Kenwood L-07, SP-10 Mk 3, Denon DP-100, etc being silly money now, I'm kinda hunting for a table that does almost all that they do, but at a more mass market price. The Kenwood KD-990 seems a good example. Coreless motor, Closed Loop Frame, nice knife edged bearing tonearm, etc. The Technics SL-M2 maybe? Yamaha GT-1000? Oracle Alexandria even.
One thing I'd love is auto lift! I see no reason why a high end table should not lift the arm up at the end of a side.
Do you fine gents have any ideas?
