Which Turntable For Temporary Use/ please read


Hi
I'm looking for quick solution on a TT that will be
"the big bang for the buck" , fo maybe 1 year.

I eventually want the Raven TW Acoustic ,that's my choice.
I love this TT it has great PRAT

I have a Emm labs CDP & Dac DCC2 so pretty good front end.

So to the TT
1- Thoren TD124
2- Linn Sondek LP12
3- Garrard 301 or the 401 don't the difference

If you can spare a minute or 2 of your time from your experience view point that would be much apprciated
budget app $ 2,000.00

I listen to classical and Jazz with the 15% of R&R

Considering current pricing and what's involved in getting one of the old tables running, I'd go for the Garrard 301 oil bearing model.

Cost will probably be around $1200.00 for table. Add a decent arm and you should come in under the $2000.00 mark.

You might be surprised by the Garrard, especially if you keep it for comparison after you buy the Raven.
