Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?


I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.

Does any of you have one of those ?

"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.

@yoyoyaya I’m aware of the Unity, and have talked to Ken Bowers about it. I have two Universal 12" tonearms. The Unity – at $20K (less the trade allowance for Universal arms offered) – isn’t really on my radar, so it’s mostly pointless to compare it to what I have (and am happy with)...not that I have the opportunity to anyway.

$150k turntable does not keep accurate speed ? I find it hard to believe. Why doesn't it, what's wrong ?

One of the best, perhaps the best, table I have heard is the Basis Transcendence.

Basis tables & arms made in NH our excellent at all their levels. Couldn’t say for sure but I’ll bet their models 2200 or 2800 w/ a Vector 4 arm gets you most of what the really top turntables do for a “high” but not “insane” price. Of course you can go higher in their line if so desired. The engineering & build quality are very high. My 20 year old 2500 still works perfectly & sounds excellent.
