Practical differences

Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.

Both are belt-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: a motor that's mechanically isolated from the platter by an elastic belt, which is the usual route to a quieter noise floor — the default choice across most of hi-fi.

The rest of the recorded specifications line up closely, so this database does not establish an overall winner.

Bottom line: both are £220 at reference price — price doesn't separate them, so the table above is where the real differences show up.
