Norman is right on the specific character a table has regardless the other units around it. I use my system, tables and devices in different settings. ![]() I am not a magazine writer who sometimes knows after years or months how a unit sounded or should sound in connection with other parts etc. Ralph mentioned in his comment that you cannot compare different units with parameters like tonearm cable, cartridges, phono pres, the tonearm itself etc. Nevertheless we may have seen the golden period of analogue turntable design in the 60 to 70 ies of the last century. So it looks to me that we had no real progress in turntable development, which is not fair and does not reflect the many recent intelligent designs. I am playing them all but my favorite at the moment are two vintage designs: the Denon DP-100M and the EMT R-80. ![]() You may now ask me what is the best sounding table? Of course all have a specific sound and character. I am using three DDs: Victor 101, Denon DP-100M, Brinkmann Oasis 10th Anniversary. My running belt driven tables are: Continuum Criterion, Micro Seiki SX 8000 double platter and Caeles II. The idler table is an EMT R-80 (Prototyp of 927).Īll units are in a state of art condition wearing excellent tonearms and carts (see reports on this blog).
