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

"Do you really hear much of a sound difference between a $2000 turntable and a $50,000 turntable."

Yes, “WOW” is much louder when folks see 50k spinner! LOL

@emergingsoul

Yes. like most audio equipment the difference generally is a significant jump in sound quality (that an non-audiophile could hear) for each doubling of the investment. My analog leg is worth about $50K (including the phonostage) and I got there from a $150 analog end many decades ago. Each step was a significant improvement in sound quality.

I used to work for Audio Alternative in Lilburn GA and got to play with the Brinkmann 'tables extensively. The Bardo with 10" arm ($14k-17k) and Balance ($40,000) are both wonderful devices, I hope to buy a Bardo myself before I shuffle off this Earth.

Anyone see let alone hear the American Sound AS 2000? (If you are looking for a price you better be sitting down! 

@thom_oz Don't go 2 soon. I have a Bardo w Triplaner - quite lovely. Good fortune to you on your quest !
