Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking?


Okay, this is not the audiophile stance...but I have been in modern furniture/architecture/home building-remodeling for years, and looks..are a factor to me!

So, what are the best looking (and sounding) turntable/arms in the:

1. Under 1k $ range?
2. Under 2k $ range?
3. Under 3k $ range?
4. No limit range?

Thanks.

I like the Rega TT's at all price points you specify. Small, clean lines, and with a good cartridge and phono-pre, the sound is excellent. My P-25 fits perfectly with my Dainish and Swedish furnishings.

If you are looking for a TT that makes a statement (like sculpture), take a look at the Teres Audio web site. They have very good photos (and a sonic reputation that matches).
Take a look at the SME's the 10 or the 20. Both are over 6K...pretty hard to beat these for sound in their respective price categories...
Agree with the vote for Teres Audio. They are beautiful looking, and sounding, turntables, with a clean, functional, and elegant appearance. If you want something that is an industrial art statement, look at the Vyger Atlantis. Now that is a chunk of metal. Very good performer too, from what I've read.

If you want form follows function, in a beautiful package, take a look at the Walker Proscenium. One of the best looking, and performing tables in the world.
Check out this website for some pictures of turntables:

I'm with Gajgmusic, the Audiomeca Romeo with Romance arm is stunning, both visually and sonically.
Check out the Turntable Galleria for a comprehensive display of turntable pics. It's a slow website, but worth waiting for.
