What turntable would be great for techno/ electronic music?

Hi everyone I have been really getting into Vinyl and I love all of the new artists getting into it. Especially the artists in electronic and techno. I was not really into this type of music though its fun, and I think its better then cd version. Though it can really test how fast a system is too on top of it and no harshens. Now demoed a couple of turntables and the options avid ingeniume, Raga RP8 and oracle paris. Im just curious which would be a better fit since I did not Demoed them with techno vinyl in the first place Im more jazz classic rock and todays pop. Let me know your thoughts.

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
