Don't feed the troll.
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.

Dear @hagtech : Unfortunatelly nothing is perfect in audio and as you pointed out DD has its own trade-offs as BD units too. We can found out really good quality performances with DD and with BD TTs. Our choices are determinated by the choice of the best trade-offs for each one of us. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
I am past engaging in the BD vs DD vs ID debates. I have come to agree with what Raul wrote above, and I've made my choice in favor of DD turntables (and a much modified Lenco) based on bang for the buck. The really good BDs, to my ears, start at ~$25,000 (new). Now for my real question: Does anyone know where I can find a video showing how to service (change the lubricant) in my DP80 bearing well? If someone can provide a verbal description and/or some still pics to go with, that would be much appreciated. Thanks. If you think I should start a new thread on this topic, let me know. |
I quite happily have all bases covered. Garrard 401. Idler. JVC QL-A7. DD. Sony PS-LX22. BD. Last one is cheap and cheerful but does the job in my second system. Both the Garrard and the JVC have their plus and minus points. Hard to decide which I prefer in the main rig do just going to leave both ready to rock! |
uberwaltz "I quite happily have all bases covered. Garrard 401. Idler. JVC QL-A7. DD. Sony PS-LX22. BD." If you really had "all bases covered" you would not need three turntables. |
