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
128x128karmapolice
I like to use dining tables for sit-down dinners, kitchen tables for lunch and snacks, turntables for music. Each of five different turntables for jazz, blues, rock, classical, and swing. Five arms per turntable allows optimization for sub-genres of each. Detachable head shells are of course a must, as how else can you be sure of using the right cartridge for each LP? There should of course be five phono stages (per turntable), and I find a walk-in closet works great for hanging the 50 or so interconnects needed to go with all of this.  

Then we have the amplifiers, we need five of each type- tube and ss, SET and Push-pull, Class ABCDExpialidocious, and then back to the walk-in for speaker cables. Cable elevator- does not reach the top floor.    

This is all for 33. For 45, double everything. 78? Don't ask!   




Lot of ideas...thanks ....people have strong opinions about tt.

I know people who don't like SME or VPI even Brinkman and they are in the industry......

Some hate direct drive others dislike belt system.

High mass versus skeletal design....

I even think the power cord does......YMMV...hearing and music pleasure is rather subjective


Well Brinkmann make belt and direct drive, a double heaping of potential hate… ha.

I have both a Brinkmann Bardo and a SOTA. They both get out of the way of the music…In service TO the music

Hopefully your search and move go well ! Enjoy the music.
A turntable that plays everything well. Hmmm, I have three tables but have only listened to one and it plays everything quite well. Crap, I hope my Luxman and Victor don’t suck. If they only play Polka, I'm F'd. 
Mine likes polka. So we compromise. At the end of each night I leave a polka LP on the platter to keep the dust off.
