which turntable for the future?

Hi Audiogoners,

I've improved my music system with 2 pearls, both from Soulution, Preamp 725 and Pre phono 751. Great improvement but, as you can imagine, my turtable now sounds inadequate compared with the rest of the analog chain.

For the future (not now, sigh!) I'm considering VPI Avenger  or TechDas Airforce V. Today my turntable is a Michell Gyrodec with SME V. I'm in love with its design: a lot of competitors got ideas from it and after years and years is still a star to follow.

I confess: beside the quality improvement, I'm passioned about design. What you would choose? And second question: do you think that a second hand machine would be a suitable solution?

i own three turntables which would be a step up from the place you are at. or maybe two to five steps up. you can view them on my system page. the thread drive, air bearing, linear tracking CS Port LFT1, Saskia model two idler with a Durand Tosca tone arm, and the Wave Kinetics direct drive NVS with a Tosca and Durand Telos tone arms.

as far as design, all three are distinctive in their own ways. happy to answer any questions you might have. your Soulution gear shows you are thinking ’higher’.

good luck; you are in a fun spot about to get a kick ass turntable!!!!
