Occasionally I browse hi-fi magazines with measurements at the local Kinokuniya. Hi-Fi News from the UK (now part of the same parent company as Stereophile) does less comprehensive speaker, amp and DAC measurements compared to JA at Stereophile, but does comprehensive measurements for turntables and cartridges. Stereophile does not measure vinyl equipment except for phono preamps occasionally. They've now started to upload several reviews with measurements here.
A few issues ago, I'd read about the glowing praise they had for the Technics SL-1200 reissue, which measured close to state-of-the-art in a much cheaper and less cumbersome package compared to some esoterica. The SL-1200 measurements don't seem to be online. But the SL-1000R one is: https://www.hifinews.com/content/technics-sl-1000r-turntablearm-lab-report. State-of-the-art in every respect and conspicuously better than cottage industry darlings such as VPI, SME and TechDAS. Speaks to what can be yielded from evidence-based engineering in a conglomerate given massive economies of scale and R&D capability - all things that are hard to come by for competing turntable manufacturers.
