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

I see. Are you also familiar with SME turntables ?

@inna  Nope. Their table are less common here in USA I guess, though the arms still get love. 

Think you'll be hard pressed to find 'philes who've had more than a few top tables, who are not also involved / staked in the industry in some fashion. 

All the Brands mentioned here are good quality turntables.....I wanted a "musical ...engaging ...natural sound with a 4 K budget......I love my Rega 8 with Aphetta 3 cart. Thanks Rich from Signature Sound.

dogberry, yes, I don’t hear much about SME turntables. About Nottingham turntables as well, as different as they are.

mulveling, you are right. It’s difficult to even audition them all.

Do you really hear much of a sound difference between a $2000 turntable and a $50,000 turntable.

I really don't understand turntables.
