I enjoy modern minimalist - Rega P8 is my choice. I'm sure there's many options I don't know about.
Most beautiful turntable under $5k
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but thought this might be a fun topic. Obviously the most important thing about audio gear is how it sounds, but I find some of it truly beautiful to look at too, particularly turntables, which almost by necessity are best placed somewhere on display. Some days I love the simplicity of something like the Clearaudio Concept Wood (particularly the dark wood)….other days the “audio jewelry” appearance of EAT or VPI. My personal vote, however, would go to the Gold Note Pianosa. For me it has a timeless beauty and elegance that’s never over the top. I can’t imagine ever tiring of looking at in and think it would look great with a wide array of decor.
What would be your personal choice for most beautiful turntable under $5k? What about cost-no-object options?

likely something vintage......in a nice, classy, plinth. Garrard 301 or Thorens TD-124 in good condition with a simple arm can be acquired easily for $5k or less. these will fit into most room styles. and knowledgeable visitors will assume you know what you are doing. and not just checking the tt box. beauty is subjective......but these two are nice looking and very fine sounding too. here is another idea.... https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa4aaa-analogueworks-tt-two-top-of-the-line-demo-turntables |
