What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?

The sound quality isn’t great, so rather than something super revealing, something that is very musical, and can also convey the magic. Sort of the Decca cartridge equivalent of turntables. I am guessing less Caliburn and Techdas, more Linn, Roksan, Denon, EMT 927, Rega, even.

I love Led Zeppelin and listen to it through a Clear Audio concept wood. Sounds lush . Oh the cartridge is MC . All the best in your decision . 👍

Best for rock? The Rockport, of course.

I'd look for a decent direct drive ie the Technics as celtic66 has mentioned.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I was a "belt-drive. floating suspension" guy when I was young, but hearing Zeppelin on a Technics player (could have well been SL1200), Shure cart, McIntosh vintage solid-state pre, Crown amplifier, and JBLs, made me realize something was very right about this (celtic66 is right). If you are lucky to own a few TTs, occasionally listening to a very laid back and lush presentation can also be a lot of fun (so also agree with steve 1979).
