Why? A new table from Clearaudio sounds so much better!Lol.
You may have missed the point a little.
But it's all good!
👍👍
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.

I love my JVC QL-Y66F. I have 5 turntables, including a Clearaudio Emotion with the Satisfy arm and a Hana SL, but the JVC is my "main" table. I had to stuff some plasticlay inside the plinth and replace the bouncy feet with some highly damped aftermarket ones, but it sounds great. It's really noisy when it starts up and you it definitely does not have a "black background" while it's running, but it sings when it's playing music. I have a Kiseki Blue NS on it and use a Manley Chinook for the phono stage. I paid $545 for the table itself. The
Mnpctech feet were $100. I also have a Realistic LAB 440 with a Denon DL-301 MKII cartridge that is no slouch. |

Dear @jessica-severin : That QL-A95 makes that the 101 looks as a really mediocre TT ( as a fact it's but this for other time dialogue/discussion. . ). I have too the information of many others JVC/Victor TTs and from other manufacturers through my japanese bibles ( hard paper. ) but I never gone to those fully integrated TTs pages and is surprising what we can found down there like this Pionner that came with the same tonearm that comes in the $$$$ Exclusive P-3 ! ! : https://audio-heritage.jp/PIONEER-EXCLUSIVE/player/pl-70lii.html Thank you for your real contribution for all of us. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
