Honestly if you want something that’s just going to be super reliable where you don’t ever have to worry about it whatsoever, get one of these or this one if you want a preamp built into it (and a slightly better cartridge). The Grand Class models are even nicer but are quite a jump up (I’ll probably upgrade from my SL-1200 MK2 to a 1200GR or 1300G some day). There is the SL-1200 MK7 too if you want the classic SL look, but it has features you likely don’t need and does not come with a cartridge. If you like the aesthetic of the belt driven tables better, the Rega P3 (though I don’t like that they don’t play as nice with other cartridge brands) and MoFi Studiodeck or Ultradeck are good options in that range. For less than this, the nicer Audio Technica/Fluance/U-Turn and Pro-ject tables aren’t bad. Most of these are belt-driven, but AT does have some direct drive models in there, too.
