Vintage Sansui SR-222 question

[50watts]

How does this table compare to the current crop of new sub $500 new tables like the U-Turn, Planer 1, MMF 2.3, Pro-ject , Debut Carbon ....etc...? Will it produce as good of sound or better with a comparable cart?

I just picked up one for less than $90 cause I wanted to try a simple all manual TT. My two Technics are fully and semi auto..

This was a highly reviewed budget turntable back in the day. Growing up in England, the HiFi magazines I used to read instead of comic books used to recommend this turntable or the Dual 505.

I think it should hold it's own.

Since you have it you need to tell us

I just read some reviews and they all say for a relatively cheap lower end model it is a good performer.

Who would have access to U-Turn, Planer 1, MMF 2.3, Pro-ject , Debut Carbon and Sansui SR-222 to do a credible comparison ?
