What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable?


Used is ok. I have a Schröder arm that I can either sell or use with the table. Has to be on a wall shelf so no idlers (I already have one waiting for a bigger house!).

Well dhcod,

I've heard a ton of tables, but have only owned a few.

That's because I've had my Oracle Delph for 42 years, replace 3 belts, on my second tonearm and 4th cartridge.

A lot of people flog a Technics SL1200, but it's a beginers table.

You really can't go wrong with Oracle Delph (MKII or newer), check with Jock (original founder, still there), and see if your Schröder arm pairs well with the Delph. You won't be disappointed.

Enjoy the music.

 

+1 for the Luxman.  I tried two Clear Audios, and a loaner Rega, ended up purchasing a Luxman PD171A.  Great sound with a Hana cartridge, easy to adjust speed, solid build (with dust cover!) and great looking design.

If you’re in the market I plan on selling it…only reason is the bad back and bad knees are making vinyl more difficult to enjoy.  I’ve gone digital with a streamer, new DAC, and although I don’t enjoy the experience as much, pretty sure my ears will go next and I won’t be able to tell the difference!

Best of luck in your search. 

 

luxman is nice but...

they want an extra $800 for the dust cover 

outrageous !!!

Dear @dhcod :  Till this moment no one of the mentioned TTs outperforms the  TT/tonearm combination in the RP_10 but the other way around and if you want you can use it along the Basis reflex clamp.

 

Is up to you,
