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.

Actually yes with built in minus K a Safir arm and a Verismo into exact same downstream CH > Big Magico in a superb room.. The competing setup a Kuza Ref, 4 Point, Kuzma CAR-50 and sitting on another Minus K….

knifefight with no clear winner…. except visual aesthetics and a sizable pile of $$$$$ 

A discussion around isolation solutions is also interesting for high end turntables. They are a must, IMO.

Right now I have a HRS R3X isolation base for my Clearaudio Innovation. If I upgrade my Innovation to the Master Innovation I will need new feet at a minimum, but have considered other options. One is to move up the line to the HRS S3 or even a M3X2. Another possibility is to get a HRS EXR 3-shelf rack, and put isolation bases on two of the shelves for my turntable and phono-stage. At that point I'd have room for a larger isolation base, so a Minus-K for the turntable is an option.
