What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why?
I am interested in knowing which 3 turntable companies you like and why? Not interested in the Direct Drive vs Belt drive argument, just what is your experience with the company product and... support too. Something like this as an example-
Garrard- very solid and classic design that sounds great and built like a tank.
Well Tempered- Very good design and even better tonearm performance. Best model is ________
Technics- Very solid design and easy to adjust. Great idea with removeable headshell
