A turntable that plays all types of music well


Hi,

I might be moving and my lenco L75 direct drive with large Nantais plinth might be sold as too bulky to want to bring along....

For new location what turntable has the PRAT and ability to play all types of vinyl music well?

I already have a good Helius Omega arm and soundsmith hyperion cart so looking for turntable only....nothing over 10K

I never thought of turntables in this light. But after thinking about it, there is a difference in presentation between good heavy weight unsprung tables like VPI Aries which I owned for a couple decades and sprung tables, like my current Linn LP12. The VPI and other massive tables tend to be a bit more like muscle cars with real slam but a bit less finesse. So, I am going to have to say a Linn is a better “all a rounder” than a unsprung like an Aries. I am sure if you look at a really expensive unsprung this generality doesn’t work. But it may work for lots of $10 - 20K  tables. 
I am enjoying my sprung table. More air and subtle detail.
i think I have a polka album somewhere… great idea, I never thought of playing it again. Dust cover, perfect!
