The AR EB 101 is a good table-2 different versions-one w/o arm board(tonearm attatched directly to suspension via round hole in plinth) and one with arm board like the es-1 which will give you more flex on tonearm switch if desired. Keep in mind turntables are an area where audio snobbery runs most rampant as many good tables like the AR are looked over for todays average like the regas IMO. The AR outperformed both my regas even with the great tonearm. Two TT's I can highly recommend for cheap that will get you no audio snob points are the B&O TX (especially with MMC2 cartridge)and the technics sl-10.
Tossing out a question about some 'tables...
Greetings all!
In my recently renewed quest to upgrade my source components, I have (re)started my turntable search. In this episode, our intrepid hunter is asking the collective their opinions about the following tables (assuming all are equipped with their std. tonearms and a cartridge TBD):
AR EB101
Thorens 318
Linn Axis
Said hunter knows there are other tables out there (and he isn't discounting them), the above models are currently available through various sources. So...fire away...
Thanks!
