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

You're comparing 3 very different machines. Your question is asking about very old vintage and vintage - Garrard/Linn/Thorens.

Were it me, I'd use the budget on a new Rega P3 with a good cartridge and power supply unit. All Rega TT, Exact cartridge, and PSU would come in under your price, offer very good performance for the interim while you learn what it is you're looking for in vintage (other than price) and you might find that an upgrade isn't needed.

Rega's are famous for good PRAT.
