"10 Recommended Turntables"....

...although they only list 8?  Maybe I missed something in the article....this 'old age' BS is getting old...*L*

Anyway, the only one that likely won't draw total jeers and catcalls is the Rega IMHO...and it'll be borderline for the AG Collective, no doubt.  Anyone feel like added two to their list? ;)

These aren't better than vintage DD Technics decks and they're far-far away from PL570, PL535, PL518, PL41 Pioneers.

How about AR-XA? Marantz 6300, 6350...?

I listed them as substantially better alternatives vs. this list of 10.

*L*  Wino, no kidding.  But, after all, this is from a rag that's not 'audiophile oriented', so slack needs application. ;)

But some of that stuff....damn, my original AR manual was comparable, and all it really needed was a arm lift or a steady hand...*L*  It's a mixed bag of 'newbie' stuff one sees at Barnes & Ignoble, Pest By, and the like.  At the end of the day you can't give it away when and if one moves up 'n on.

I would hope 'the kidz' starting with vinyl go google and find a newbie site that'll give them some better direction and suggestions on how to 'go good' from the get go.  Not necessarily the esoteria we play with, but how to start 'basic' with selections more like the Rega, which IMHO is the only one of the '10' that I'd consider.  The rest seem 'trendiod' stuff...and a Crosley?!  Please....*cringe*L*

I cannot even get to the list, because of the crap about what stocks I should buy.  If you click on the URL for the list of 10 turntables, you get to read more of such crap.  Anyone who would take advice from this source deserves what he or she gets.

Those turntables seem to be a bunch of pure garbage enjoy though.
