Many moons ago I had a Kenwood KD-500 and Kenwood KD-600. Both of them are outstanding tables! Check the Ebay listings, you should find one within your budget!
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.

@uberwalz That’s what I’m sayin’. The plinth was cheap and the two arm wands were just as bad. If you are looking for a serious table within your budget there are two Kenwood KD-550s with tonearms included listed on ebay . I have owned the Kenwood KD- 500 with a MMT arm and a KD-600 with a Grace 747 arm. You will not go wrong with these Kenwoods! Here ya go! https://liquidaudio.com.au/kenwood-kd-500-kd-550-direct-drive-turntable/ |
