Every day I see another turntable recommendation...

After digging into this topic, I am convinced now I need to go a bit higher on this first vinyl set up. I think all in, I am prepared at this point to go up to $5k, for the table alone, not including arm or cartridge.

But frankly, being on this forum is like drinking from an information firehose. I have learned a bunch and yet somehow, I am less convicted than before.

With that in mind, to narrow down the decision, I am want to restrict myself to things I can buy, hear and, if necessary, service locally. My local dealers stock, AMG, AVM, Basis, Clearaudio, Michell, Musichall, Pro-ject, Rega, VPI, so I am likely restricted to those brands. I am certain my view will change by the end of this thread.

I went from a Clearaudio Concept with Hana EH to a Clearaudio Ovation with a Clearaudio Universal tonearm and Hana ML. Worlds different and astonishingly good. Could be my last table, possibly not. What made the upgrade even better was selling my Chinook (which blew away my Musical Surroundings Nova III) moving up to the Allnic H-3000. At the advice of others, the phono really does need to be upgraded. My Allnic is one of my favorites and possibly my last phono I'll need.

Spend the money now or you'll be continuing to spend it. Choice is yours.
