Direct Drive Turntables buying guides
On direct drive turntables, the motor sits right under the platter and turns it directly. That gives quick start-up and steady speed, which is why DJs like them. The best direct drive turntables for home use have a good tonearm and a dust cover. Check that the motor hum doesn't bother you in a quiet room.
