Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,,


Hi All,

Im looking for suggestion or any forms of recommendation for a New Turntable,My  buget is from 10-15K. I already have a Tri-Planer Tone arm and just looking to upgrade the table.


Not interested in the Kuzma or VPI, below are the ones i am looking at mostly:

AVID Acutus
Oracle,
Brinkmann
Nottingham
Origin Live
Hanns
Transorotor


Or a Older Gerad, Technics SP-10 Thorens?

Anymore suggestion,

I abandoned Vinyl many years ago in pursuit for the best digital gear. Was extremely disappointed with the MSB Diamond & Analog DAC after owning it for over 18 months i sold them both.

I now have the Playback Design Merlot dac and pleased with it but would like to go back into Vinyl.

Im looking for a very musical presentation, transparent, speed which has a nice midrange bloom but not over the top. Somethign which can last me for a few years at least 5-8 years with out upgrading.

Oracle Delphi MK VI Second Generation with Oracle/SME 5 tonearm....comes standard now with the turbo power supply.
I am in the process of moving to that table from a VPI HR-X

I will be using the Transfiguration Proteus cartridge......

Although I endorse EBM's enthusiasm for the TW Acustic Raven, which I also use, from your list, the only one I would consider is the Avid Acutus (Ref? If it's within budget, but the standard one is also impressive).
