Turntable advise needed - Norway callin'

Hi!

I trust you are well.

I am looking at buying a new turntable for my vinyl collection. Its about time.

I would be very happy if you could come with feedback on the following turntables and tonearms:

Turntables:
Brinkmann LaGrange
TW Acustic Raven
Kuzma Reference
Basis 2200
Avid Acutus

Tonearms:
Brinkmann tonearm
Graham Phantom II
Vector 4 arm
Kuzma 4Point

The Brinkmann LaGrange with the Brinkman arm is the most expensive, and may be outside my budget. But the rest of them are within.

I have been a digital guy for many years now, but used to run a nice analog setup 10 years ago. So I look forward to the new adventure!

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Cheeers and thanks, Toffen G

Greetings Toffeng!

I have owned two of the tt's you have mentioned as well as two of the tonearms...I am familiar with the rest save for the Acutus.
Since you have decided to wade back in the analog pool and because of your other listed components i would say value and synergy points to the Raven and Phantom pairing, thus allowing a good budget for your "top end" cartridge. Good Luck!

i also agree with the VPI evaluation, great table for a small investment.

As a Kuzma's fellow countryman and connoisseur of his turntables/arms I shout out for Kuzma. Especially 4Point arm is something special.

Many would disagree, But I am a sucker for the classic Linn LP12. The Graham is great on it, as is a Rega or Naim arm.
