Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?

I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.

Does any of you have one of those ?

"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.

This looks good, very vintage, very to the roots.

Yeah, that's interesting what tube power supply did there. I have a hypothesis - tubes are just superior devices, whatever you do with them, if you know what you do.

Another TT worth mentioning is the Nagra Reference. IMO very impressive

Bergmann Galder w/ Oden Tonearm.  Beautiful equipment from Denmark, I believe.  Sounds amazingly black

@lewm, to supplement what dwette says above, the Master Innovation upgrade is pretty close to buying a second Innovation turntable with all of the parts count that goes with that and that is what the price reflects.

The new Clearaudio Unity arm is also pretty amazing.

M Fremer reports that these later turntables beat the Caliburn:

  • SAT XD1
  • Techdas Airforce Zero
  • OMA K3

A budget choice for top sonics is Esoteric Grandioso T1, wish it was within my budget.

Some ~50k choices:

  • CS Port LFT1
  • Dohman Helix 2
  • J.Sikora Reference
  • Continuum Obsidian
