Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?

Yeah, probably. And I am not saying that it can't be made to sound more or less entry level decent.

Trans-Fi. Terminator air bearing tonearm, of which I have two. Salvation mag lev turntable, which I have not heard. Factory direct for $$valuevalue.

Hey Terry, could you tell me how far above the top surface of a table’s platter is the top of the Terminator? And how far to the right of the platter’s center spindle does the arm's support structure extend? I’m looking to see how the arm will sit on a VPI HW-19. Thanks---Eric.

Bryston! First turntable from an older company!
