So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?
Pretty much as the title says.
Have been looking for a while for a decent DD table to add to my lot.
Have bought a few lower end ones and ultimately been dissapointed.
Now I know there were/ are literally hundreds of choices from the Japanese Golden era of DD tables.
Looking for suggestions from actual owners of solid DD tables up to about $1000 .
I have read and read but nothing substitutes for real experience.
This would likely not be my primary table, my Garrard 401 has that position for now.
Thank you.

I do not doubt at al that whatever DD TT I end up buying ( if at all ), it will NOT be the pinnacle of DD TT. But hopefully about as good as it gets at the 1k price break I have self imposed for a complete working unit cw plinth and tonearm. Rules out a few of the top liners that have been mentioned although it is fantastic and much appreciated to see such enthusiasm and knowledge here! |
This is likely a better option for a dp60. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283627558925 From what scant info I can find on the net it would seem that although the plinth looks substantial it really is not. A little flimsy with a nice Rosewood veneer. A fair bit of bracing and additional mass should work wonders. Apparently the earlier models like the dp50 had Much more meaty plinth. |
lol @rauliruegas Many thanks sir, it is on my highly consideration list! And I do thank you for the link! My big concern on that particular listing is the seller and their very high negative feedback rate, 50 negative feedback in the last 12 months is totally unacceptable to myself, heck 1 is 1 too many! My eBay feedback is 1702 with ZERO negative or neutral feedback. |
Thanks bestgroove. Although I fear that too is out of my price range right now. With my budget likely going to be a middle of the road TT rather than one of their top flight models. Actually I would prefer a mostly manual DD TT, a lot less to go wrong with aging electronics. Not particularly handy at small electronics myself an no reputable tech in my area. |
