A turntable that plays all types of music well

Hi,

I might be moving and my lenco L75 direct drive with large Nantais plinth might be sold as too bulky to want to bring along....

For new location what turntable has the PRAT and ability to play all types of vinyl music well?

I already have a good Helius Omega arm and soundsmith hyperion cart so looking for turntable only....nothing over 10K

Weirdly, my Linn/Akito rig will not play polka...just won’t...

Funny, my SOTA is able to.It sounded just like when we heard it live.

But I suppose a SOTA plays MinneSOTA music as well as world music?

Hello,
I am going to say Origin Live. You can look at the website to see where your budget fits. I am really impressed with the owner. He has a strive towards perfection. Also, if you want to get a new arm they have great options. You are definitely set on your cart unless you want to ditch the phono stage all together. Just another option for you to look at.

That is what I am thinking as well. The TT itself can have a feature set that favors how the TT is used for (Example DJ, archiving, etc), however, I do not see the table itself favoring any genre of music.

The two LPs just didn't have the same thing on offer for the cartridge to pick up?
I have a decent collection of 50s-70s jazz records. You can hear the sound quality change as they moved from tubes to transistor, from live to studio mixes, and from both to digital. Comparing the acoustic of a 1958 Doc Evans to a muddled digital cacophony is apparent once both the recording technology and the method of creation change.
