A turntable that plays all types of music well

In case to be genre universal rather play with cart, arm and phono preamp. But I think the topic is subjective and the question is more about your personal preferences of listening then some kind of general rules for different genres. Tables themselves are little to non relevant with genre type.

I like to use dining tables for sit-down dinners, kitchen tables for lunch and snacks, turntables for music. Each of five different turntables for jazz, blues, rock, classical, and swing. Five arms per turntable allows optimization for sub-genres of each. Detachable head shells are of course a must, as how else can you be sure of using the right cartridge for each LP? There should of course be five phono stages (per turntable), and I find a walk-in closet works great for hanging the 50 or so interconnects needed to go with all of this.  

Then we have the amplifiers, we need five of each type- tube and ss, SET and Push-pull, Class ABCDExpialidocious, and then back to the walk-in for speaker cables. Cable elevator- does not reach the top floor.    

This is all for 33. For 45, double everything. 78? Don't ask!   

Lot of ideas...thanks ....people have strong opinions about tt.

I know people who don't like SME or VPI even Brinkman and they are in the industry......

Some hate direct drive others dislike belt system.

High mass versus skeletal design....

I even think the power cord does......YMMV...hearing and music pleasure is rather subjective

Well Brinkmann make belt and direct drive, a double heaping of potential hate… ha.

I have both a Brinkmann Bardo and a SOTA. They both get out of the way of the music…In service TO the music

Hopefully your search and move go well ! Enjoy the music.

A turntable that plays everything well. Hmmm, I have three tables but have only listened to one and it plays everything quite well. Crap, I hope my Luxman and Victor don’t suck. If they only play Polka, I'm F'd.
