Great TT's are born without tonearm. Great TT's are born with a proper plinth. Great TT's are born with more than sufficient power supply. Speed change? I have a button for that. It's just fine with me to categorize, in general, Garrard 301/Thorens/Rega/Linn as overrated TT's as well; if that was the point. By the way: is it this Thorens you were thinking about?  "dolph"

So let me get this straight. Are we now comparing a limited production boutique Thorens to a 1200 to finally settle the BD/DD debate?
I love guys like this. They are the ones keeping down the cost of vintage DD tables! Please, continue posting.

All fun and games aside, the JVC line in this time period is quality.
A far cry from the modern dreck wearing the badge nowadays. That, of course, is a generalization, and they are still capable of great gear- some of the CD and DVD players are true gems. But frankly, most of their modern offerings are not. Let's be honest- those wonderful belt drive TTs shown here are most likely supreme. But for the working man who wants HiFi that's RELATIVELY affordable, there's a whole slew of direct drive Japanese tables and belt drive American and European tables of vintage era that will shame many a modern belt drive table, or direct drive table, for that matter. A few exceptions notwithstanding. Quality affordable sound can be found in modern offerings, and vintage offerings in belt drive, idler drive and direct drive camps. I'm not interested in pissing in anyone's Cheerios. And I have no desire to mock those who strive for good affordable (within whatever their budget) sound. If you can afford a $1000+ Yamaha GT-2000, awesome. A $2,500 VPI classic? nice! A $400 Technics SL-1200? Good for you! A $900 Rega P3? wonderful. A $200 JVC? Excellent!

Note- I feel the thread has had some light kidding going on here and no true mean spirited intentions.
At least that's what I'm hoping for.

IMHE you can, at the same price tag or much cheaper as you get those japanese DD's for, get much better sounding belt/string driven TT's on the used market.
It does not have to cost an arm or a leg. But these options doesn't matter much if you fit a low-end-budget-entry-level cartridge or some tonearm flexing all the way over the vinyl. "dolph"

You are entitled to your opinion and may be correct. However the question posed isn't addressed by your posts. The question is if JVC is an overlooked or underrated brand. And, depending on model of course,folks seem to believe "yes". The question from the OP never was if folk felt belt or idler drive was better than direct drive. And $34 the OP put out is a cheap cash outlay for a decent sounding table.

Technics SP-15, Free from a local radio station JVC QL-A7, $5 from a yard sale Kenwood KD-3070 w/Ortofon OM-30, $10 from a flea market Considering the guy who sold me the JVC is a very experienced "Ebay flipper", I'd have to say, yes, the JVC turntables are underrated and overlooked. Of the many belt-drive models I've picked up (also very cheap) in thrift shops or yard sales, nothing comes remotely close to the quality and performance of the those three direct drive models. This is not meant as a put down of belt drives.... I'm just patiently waiting to find that high end belt drive turntable at some future yard sale.
