Used Well Tempered Simplex. I had some really nice pretty expensive tables before it. LP12, Amazon 2, Mitchel Orbe. Simplex was better than all of them and super easy to set up.
Forever turntable under $2000
In search of: forever turntable.
I'm currently looking to upgrade from my existing Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 to a table that I will (hopefully) never grow out of. I'm looking for something that is *technically* competent, something where I know the engineering is extremely solid and "timeless," and provides a good analog platform to swap carts with. My budget for this is $1600 with cart (but up to $2000 if there's a good case for it). The rest of my system is as follows:
* LSA 2.1 Statement speakers
* Schiit Gumby DAC
* Schiit Freya preamp
* Adcom GFA555 power amp
* Schiit Mani phono stage
So far, I have looked into the Rega P6 (or a used RP6), a Clearaudio Concept, a variety of Pro-Ject offerings, and a Michell Technodec... but at this level there are so many choices, its hard to know where to start. Any ideas? Thanks!

Technics 1200/1210 GR. You can get the black GR models at the pro music sites (Sweetwater) 6 months same as cash. I know people here may throw a fit, I’m running my 1200GR with the KAB A-40 with STY40 stylus. Happy as a bird. Much more detailed and smoother than my AT vm540ml. Many say its basically an Ortofon Black in a Concorde body. The standard a-40 concorde is based on the Ortofon Blue https://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/ortofon.htm |
