I'm biased as an owner, but my vote goes to the legendary Voyd turntable. See - http://www.vinylengine.com/library/voyd.shtml - produced by Guy Adams in the UK and taken over by Audio Note in the 1990s who went on to manufacture a reall heavyweight variation called the Audio Note Reference (and to my mind impractical - 2BHP motors, times 3!).

It's a high-end turntable which doesn't look like an oil rig. The secret is in the three-motor design which gives massive speed stability without having to carry a heavyweight platter. See http://picasaweb.google.co.uk:80/nickmcb0/HiFiPics for details.

Teamed up with the Wilson Benesch Act 0.5 carbon fibre unipivot tonearm, the results are: crystal clear high notes, soulful midrange, powerful musical bass, inky black background.

It's Selling on Ebay just now, as I'm moving towards digital and fed up with miles and MILES of cable connecting all my separates ... or maybe it's just middle age.

Sota Sapphire - only because I finally bought one.

Classic design, extremely quiet, does what a turntable
is supposed to do.
