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

Thanks Raymonda. I do have an FM Acoustics linearizer that is for this purpose that I should play around with more.

Rockport of course would do as would modified high-end Technics. But that's big money. For little money, by audiophile standards, you want Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm with motor controller. As for the cartridge, well, there are many that would work. The Goldring 1042 MM that I have does quite well with Mahavishnu Orchestra and it would with Led Zepplin.
Roksan would probably be a good choice too, but I am unfamiliar with it, just read something somewhere.

John---Since you mentioned the Decca cartridge, and as a follow-up to Geoff’s great pun, I recommend the Townshend Rock table. The Decca was actually a factor in the table’s design, and the two are known to be a synergistic match (the table’s damping trough tames the microphony and resonance found in Deccas). The Rock provides very tight bass, a good thing for all music, of course, but none more so than the 60’s Rock you mentioned. It also minimizes LP surface noise, helpful with old records.

Thanks bdp24. If I was starting from scratch I would optimize everything for the Decca, although I did get good results on a PT/RB300/Garrot-Decca and Linn Axis/Akito/Decca-Maroon in the past. I would have sub-tables to play my other carts course, but a Decca makes a bigger difference than turntables (so in my experience, Decca on a Linn Axis/Akito was more interesting than Pink PT or Micro Seiki BL91 with RB300/Ikeda tonearms playing more expensive MCs). When I say more interesting, I mean a sound you cannot get from CD (my Chord and CECs).

Agree 100 per cent John. Transducers differ in character more than other components imo, and the Decca/London most especially. So alive, so dynamic! Makes other cartridges sound so reserved, so polite. Ironic, the Decca being so iconically British and all.
