TurnTable Quest

Hello,  I would like to start saving for a TTable. I still have a crush on my first real TTable, a Denon DP62L. So sorry I sold it years ago.

WTS, I really like the separate motors, platter ect. Not sure what to look for in that direction. Feel free to offer suggestions. I wont be ready to buy for a while, hopefully the sticker shock wont be that bad.

Thank you, KG

I have not heard a restored AR, but I'm sure they're very good.

Check out Dave's fully restored Thorens models at Vinyl Nirvana. These tables will walk all over many similarly priced new tables.

The cartridge also makes a huge difference. 

I started this hobby on the budget end, which only ends up costing more in the long run. 

IMO, the $1500 range is where one can begin to find reference quality sound. At least 1k for the table and 500 for a nice cartridge. You'll get a lot of recommendations here for VPIs, but my experience has been that they're a bit overrated.
