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

B&O still make turntables?  Had one in the late 80’s. Paid around $700-800 new.  What a pile of crap!  Brought it back to Natural Sound in Framingham, MA after a week and bought a Rega Planar 3 turntable with a Linn K9 mm cartridge instead.  Although I wasn’t crazy about the Rega’s lightweight performance, it was light years better than the B&O.

I did not care for the fit and finish of the Beogram.  I didn't care for the built in cartridge and I feel it was the weak link with the turntable.  The reason I bought the TT was because I won a Mobile Fidelity box set of the Rolling Stones on vinyl.  I won it from Natural Sound so I went there to buy a TT to play it on (I actually HATE the Rolling Stones).  I didn't care at all for the sound coming from the Beogram, the same songs played on a cheap FM tuner sounded better.  The Rega was a lot more musical, but was very lightweight in sound.  Hope this helps.

“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.”

Very nice talk, especially from a new poster. If you feel this way, please don’t send me anymore PM’s.

@leemurray2007,

Then you obviously really don't get it.

@leemurray2007,

Why would I want to try another Beogram turntable or any other when I have a fantastic Technics SL1200G turntable?

@moto_man ,

That was the only high end store I knew of besides The Music Box in Wellesley.   I spent tens of thousands at Natural Sound in the late 70’s and early to mid 80’s. I refuse to trade there any longer though. Where do you trade now?
