Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?


I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.

Does any of you have one of those ?

"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.

@inna are you saying you want to know about the best turntables that are still under $50K? I'll assume that and reply with:

  • Clearaudio Master Innovation ($34K)
  • 2 x Clearaudio Universal 12" tonearms ($6.7K each)
  • Clearaudio Innovation record weight ($750)
  • Clearaudio Outer Limit Ring ($1500)

This is just about $50K. I put this here, because I have this, except mine is the regular Innovation turntable and I have the Statement record weight, at $30K for everything, but I am thinking about adding the field upgrade kit to the Master Innovation for another ~$20K

@bigtwin I think that article is misinformed. The Clearaudio Statement v2 turntable is more like $250K now. I don't know if that's with or without the $35K Statement TT1 tonearm.

No, we are not talking about prices, more expensive may not be better or may be worse. Yeah, and that article was published in 2020. Any price.

Is Continuum still there at the top ?

Linn.

But there are many top turntables not British.,

Clear Audio - Germany

AirForce US

AMG - Germany
