The DP80 is a fantastic machine, in its original form the only setback as I see it was the pot metal pan they and the other models I use as donors were mounted on. Once you get them out of that their stellar performance really shines through. Here is an example https://pbnaudio.com/pbn-dp80/
To me these machines sound much better than any belt drive which to me has a sluggish sound.
Melm, That you postulate that you can hear the servo mechanism working , is probably because you want to - it does not mean its there.
The same reason that people "hear" differences in Fuses etc, to me this is pure BS. They hear it because they want to hear it.
As far as associate equipment used with these magnificent tables the list is long, currently I have in rotation 2 each DN308 one with a Triplanar U12 carrying a Lyra Atlas, the other one have a Origin Live Enterprise C Tonearm carrying a Lyra Olympos. A DP8- Professional with a SME 4.5 carrying a Ortofon A90. I got a EMT950 a few weeks ago - restoring that one now. Hopefully a Denon DP100 will be in the stable soon as well.

We have by the way made 5 each DP7 tables for Lyra in Japan, three with the mighty SAT tonearm, and Two that are used in production with Auddio Technica tonearms on the right side Ikeda on the left side
