I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?

im thinking under $450

I went ahead with the Beogram TX. I’ll post some pics and maybe a video to make all the negative people in this forum shut up.

sorry guys my phone is being repaired, and I had to use the chromebook camera. 

So thats why there are blurry shots and not-so-good audio.

@stereo5 

being on this forum longer than me doesn’t give you any street cred

didnt know you had that.

@millercarbon well, maybe not fantastic, but just a great sounding reliable turntable.

I know! I had some old CSNY, Grateful Dead, etc. records and played them on my Technics SL-10, and they sounded so much better than I remember!

I think I am going to pull the trigger on a B&O Beogram TX
price $450

Im going to look into those, thanks.

stereo5 what was bad about the B&O?

i am currently looking at a Beogram TX for $399

ive heard of that - is it worth checking out?

I just pulled the trigger on the B&O - Ill post some pics soon. But yeah, I will be feeling dumb when the needle finally dies; that'll be a bank breaker.

the beogram just came in. I will hook it up and send pics tomorrow.

cant wait for you guys to see and hear this...

it is amazing.

the automatic tonearm and the platter is jut killer

great sound too

awesome colors

@stereo5 

keep telling yourself that.

Also, I think you should give B&O another shot. I am sure their 70s and 80s audio equipment will shoot up in price very soon. I actually found a B&O Beogram 9000 at a thrift store called D&J in orange, VA for only $150. Hooked it up, and it buzzed very loudly and skipped many sections.

The grounding issue was solved by just grounding it (forgot to)
and I did have to buy a new cartridge

after that, sounded very nice. Keep that in my living room stereo setup.
along with a pair of Bose 901(IV) speakers, and a Sansui 4000 stereo, and a nakamichi LX5 cassette deck

@tlwing55 thanks man. Yeah I think there are just too many stuck up donkeys on this forum. 

@tomic601 my when my B&O came in, it had an MMC2 on it. I am kinda dreading replacing it when the time comes, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

IK,R?
