Does it strike anyone else but me that this is a very odd thread in terms of the tone? Anyway, I have not heard a Beogram turntable in maybe 30 years, but never sell the B & O cartridges short. I am currently listening to a vintage B&O MMC1, mounted in a triplanar tonearm. Without a doubt this is one of the finest cartridges I have heard in my system regardless of cost. I acquired the MMC1 NOS about 6-7 years ago but have only had it mounted and in use for a few months. Fantastic cartridge that once formed the basis for Peter Ledermann’s business. Now I understand why.
I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?

Right now, the best I have is a Technics SL-10, which is good. But, I am on the hunt for a fantastic, buzz free, high fidelity turntable.
i have heard things about Bang and Olufsen...

It all depends on how much you are willing to pay.... What is your budget ? You can buy these....: https://www.whathifi.com/us/features/10-worlds-most-expensive-turntables or these: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/2018-editors-choice-awards-turntables-2000-5000 |
@stereo5, off- topic, but wow, you brought back some memories. I grew up in Framingham and Natural Sound was where I bought my first "real" stereo, back when I was in high school in '75, which I think was a Harmon/Kardon receiver and Electrovoice speakers and a Dual turntable. At the time, they had some incredible sounding equipment that I remember sounded just like the band was in the room. No idea what it was, other than Mark Levinson amp and preamp, but it is THE sound in my head that I keep chasing (unsuccessfully) to this day! |
Techniques have some excellent TT,s but the cartridge an arm can make or break any TT regardless of how many shekels you dole out for it. As for my tastebuds; Thorens TD 124 / SME 3009 S2 improved /Van Den Hul Frog Gold. Do you mean Technics? They made absolutely fantastic high-end tonearms such as EPA-100 mk2 (with Boron-Titanium tube, Ruby Ball bearings and unique dynamic damping mechanism) which is very expensive and rare, definitely much better than SME and most of the modern high-end tonearms. |
