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!

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.

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!
I've posted a couple of VPI turntable reviews on Audio Asylum. I tried to be subjective and concise.
Perhaps - as you said Elizabeth - t/t's are an anachronism and the market for them is tiny.
Count me in amongst the old farts who have never given up on vinyl! My view is that the vinyl revival will out last you and I.
Perhaps because the differences in the cartridge, tonearm and phono stage dwarf differences between turntables?
