What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?

I remember playing Zep 1 shortly after it was released on a system cobbled together by taking a suitcase stereo my parents owned, and jacking the output into an organ amp and a PA column that I set up in my bedroom when my parents weren't home. Since then, I think all my peregrinations in high fidelity have been about re-creating that thrill. :) 
Zep, for the most part, is not well recorded. I have many, many pressings of some of the albums, and they offer different strengths and weaknesses. Sure, I'd use Zep to check out a system, just to see how it handles the lesser quality recordings, rather than the audiophile spectaculars that make everything sound better.  I'd say if this is part of a quest for table, just buy the best table, arm and cartridge you can afford, with the recognition that if you aren't prepared to write a check from a bottomless account, you have an upgrade path in mind, so you aren't re-buying components unnecessarily. What that is, specifically, is beyond my competence. I like what I own right now, but I've had other, cheaper set-ups that delivered the goods in the context of the systems in which they were used. And yes, I continued to play Zep on all of them. :) :)

So, Wolf, have you gone to hear David Lindley do his one man shows? He is out and about again. Killer player, great range of stringed instruments. (And, not too loud, which always kills it for me- he used to use a Dumble but I think he just uses the house system for all these oddball instruments). And, he's great fun to talk to- very old Los Angeles, before everybody got so caught up in things. 

I know, as I guess any Zep fan does, that Page used a Tele on Zep 1 with a small overdriven amp. When he started using Les Pauls, I think he overdrove them by using the Echoplex preamp into the amps- Marshalls? Live -very loud.
Reproducing that at home- OK.

What I hear on the various pressings is differences in emphasis- the Classics, particularly the 45s (I only have Zep 1 and IV on Classic 45) have detail galore, but are a tad bright to my taste- very much a modern sound. The UK of III is pretty yummy, as is the UK of II (both early plums, my III is a Peter Grant credit so it is a very early one, my LZII not a first UK, probably a second). Everybody likes the US RL of II which does kick ass, but the plum of II is underrated. For 1, which I probably have the most copies of-- though I don’t have a Turquoise first, I have an early one with essentially the same lacquer info--it is bested by both the ’74 US Piros remaster and a Japanese third pressing, which is pretty impressive. The Piros is very ’of a piece’- cohesive, in the sense that it all fits together- it doesn’t have the bass power or punch of Zep II, but overall, it and the Japanese pressing are currently my preferred copies- nothing seems over emphasized. I don’t really want to shell out the bucks for a Turquoise LZ 1, but if anybody has directly compared one to some of the other Zep 1 pressings, I’d be interested in their impressions.
It’s too bad the Zep catalog wasn’t better recorded.

As impressive a roster as any. Those shows in that era covered a huge range of different types  and styles of music, and I don't think the audiences were all that different- you could hear soul or boogie one night and go psychedelic the next. 

td160- and attention to the pressings, which vary considerably in what is emphasized. 

m-db: Did someone say all ’60s rock sounds bad on vinyl? I hope not, since some of the stuff I treasure most came from that era-both musically and sonically. I will agree that the Zep stuff isn’t very well recorded, though, much as I loved the early records (and listen to a few tracks on their later ones).
N.B. I guess you could read the OP's thread title and OP that way- I read it differently, not as a blanket indictment.
