[ARSCLIST] New turntable query

["Prentice, Will" <Will.Prentice@xxxxx>]

Colleagues

We're looking around the marketplace for new turntables, and wondering
about some Esoteric Sound models, specifically the REK-O-KUT CVS-14,
CVS-16 (direct drive) and RONDINE 3 (belt drive) models
(http://www.esotericsound.com/turntable1.htm). The spec for the belt
driven model shows rumble of -60dB, but the direct drive model spec only
shows a "hum/noise" figure of -75dB; presumably when the plate spins
it's a tad noisier.  

Anyone have any experience/opinions on these? Is there anything else
*currently on the market* that we should know about?

Thanks

Will
