Years ago I bought the Denon DP-60L. It was one of those why did I do this moments? It had many bells and whistles but it was like having a toy. I gave it to my sister and it is now a dust collector sitting in her basement!
So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?
Pretty much as the title says.
Have been looking for a while for a decent DD table to add to my lot.
Have bought a few lower end ones and ultimately been dissapointed.
Now I know there were/ are literally hundreds of choices from the Japanese Golden era of DD tables.
Looking for suggestions from actual owners of solid DD tables up to about $1000 .
I have read and read but nothing substitutes for real experience.
This would likely not be my primary table, my Garrard 401 has that position for now.
Thank you.

@uberwalz That’s what I’m sayin’. The plinth was cheap and the two arm wands were just as bad. If you are looking for a serious table within your budget there are two Kenwood KD-550s with tonearms included listed on ebay . I have owned the Kenwood KD- 500 with a MMT arm and a KD-600 with a Grace 747 arm. You will not go wrong with these Kenwoods! Here ya go! https://liquidaudio.com.au/kenwood-kd-500-kd-550-direct-drive-turntable/ |
