What turntable would be great for techno/ electronic music?

@jakecanada
Do you need dedicated turntable for each genre of music you have?
It is more about your speakers and the rest of the system than a turntable to play punchy electronic music.

Buy Technics SP-10 MK2 or MK3 and you will be on heaven for the rest of your life. I bet you can find SP10-mk2 for $1200

Forget about new plastic shi**t (aka modern belt drive turntables).

Go for the real things, the SP-10 is unbetable and build like a tank, find a proper tonearm and cartridge, custom plinth is not a problem. Look for "12 broadcast tonearms like Schick or Saec 308 (they are easy to mount on SP-10).

Some other killer direct drive is JVC TT-81, for less you can get good looking Pioneer PL-70LII as a complete deck with tonearm and plinth. Another attractive deck is Luxman PD441 (with technics sp10 motor inside).

p.s. if your system is $60 000 try EMT broadcast turntables, lol 

I play a lot of electronic music, have for decades. There is no turntable that is particularly good at electronic music.

The idea that any bit of the audio chain is somehow better for a particular genre of music might be one of the biggest myths in audio and its one that's been around for a long time!

Just get the best machine you can.

YEAH…I also bristle at claims of Genre Specific Gear as it makes zero sense except in the case of somebody needing to use their hifi for high output rave parties, in which case pro PA gear is recommended with a table that's dancing maniac resistant.

haha I'm not a rave type of person and don't plan on having one. Though some one else agrees that one turntable should work with all types of music. like I said if I was only big into techno which I'm not. I would have gotten a couple Krell monos and the largest speaker I could buy. Instead of my all tube system. lol
