Why so few turntable reviews?

I'm looking for a new table. The nearest dealer is hundreds of miles away and MAYBE has 2 tables on display to listen to, so I have to depend on reviews. But just try and find them. For example, the new Thorens tables. How about the new Marantz table? Saw 1 review of that and the review wasn't that informative.

What tables are YOU curious about and think need a review? Cartridges, too!

You might consider asking the people who hang around this forum for their recommendations and what basis they have for making them. I think that the users here could offer reviews that are as thoughtful as some of those found in magazines, and also offer opinions on a lot of different turntables, arms, and cartridges.

I think that you find that there is a wealth of knowledge here.

Not sure if you are aware of ecoustics.com. If not, check it out. It seems to be a central depository of ALL reviews of HT and Audio Products found anywhere on the web. Here is a link to the turntable reviews. You can search, or display all in cronological order, or display all alphabetically by manufacturer.

Enjoy,

Hmmm, I am not so sure that the "current" LP movement as you call it will die off anytime soon. There are good reasons why this format never died to begin with, and until digital provides the same level of emotional engagement to the listening experience, I think we'll see it hang around indefinitely. Also, the interactive aspect of this format is part of the fun. Used LPs of good quality are still abundant and cheap where I live (~$1 a piece used).

Having said that, I also look forward to when they return to $0.20 again!
