Need help: turntable market in the $1500-$2000 range is overwhelming
I was going to purchase a Rega Planar 3, but was able to go to a local audio store that would demo. I listened to different turntables and I ended up purchasing a Nottingham Analog Studio Inter space junior with a Dynavector 20x2 MC stylus. I’m very pleased with it, but it’s closer to $3000 altogether… |
Paypal protect everyone from shipping damage or any defects (full refund always guaranteed and buyer is always protected, not seller), but professional sellers pack well and do not sell junk. Tonearm must be purchased separately. I shipped Victor TT-101 from Russia to USA and our member JP Jones received it with no damage in transit. If you want to limit yourself to turntables available at your local shop (local pickup) then you may never find even a good belt drive. Most people comments sounds like “I have this BD, never tried anything else, so it must be good for you too”. AT copied only basic design elements of Technics, but AT is nowhere near the SL1200 GR engineering. The GR is heavy metal unit, almost bulletproof with Magnesium tonearm and there is a reason why this is number one recommendation (at $1700 retail price). I think you judge by images from the internet, but you’d better try it in real life at your nearest dealer. |
