After looking at so many turntables on this site I've concluded that the Kenwood 7010 is the best looking to me.

Those Kenwoods with the high gloss rosewood finish are very nice looking tables.

That, and what looks like billet aluminum tone arm mechanism I'm betting there kind of hard to purchase that people hanging on to them ,I know I would. Ive seen some priced from 600 to 1100 .

My new stock Denon DL-103R on my stock straight arm Denon DP-59L.
Can somebody tell me if I'm riding this a bit low? I've balanced the tonearm and the set the tracking force as best i could, but the VTA is such a pain in the ass to adjust. The needle is much thinner compared to my Ortofon 2M Blue I'm afraid it's gonna collapse under its own weight.

I have the Ortofon 2m blue and it rides low like that also but never had a problem.

You’re good. That looks plenty clearance. A good test is a warped record but I have a feeling it will have no problems.
Also the tonearm looks perfectly parallel with the record surface so that looks good.

I'd like to hear an F10. I'm sure it will mellow with use.
