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.

In my experience of trying different materials to tame resonance, I have become a big fan of springs. I've put much time and money into it.

It is largely dependent on equipment isolation, power quality and room. I'd spend more on those three aspects and be happier with your current setup, then,  any going forward.

I'm salivating over the Pure Fidelity Harmony, definitely in your price range just not local
