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

Hello,
I am going to say Origin Live. You can look at the website to see where your budget fits. I am really impressed with the owner. He has a strive towards perfection. Also, if you want to get a new arm they have great options. You are definitely set on your cart unless you want to ditch the phono stage all together. Just another option for you to look at. 
Hello,
I think if you ha e a VTA on the fly tonearm you should be able to hear the best out of all albums. Also, there is a new more forgiving format to set up your tonearm. I don’t have the name of the new setup. Some setups are better for classical some average everything out. Lastly I asked MC about some of this and he said one cart he had to adjust the VTA a little. With another it was a set it and forget it. If you can do VTA on the fly that might be the most accurate as long as you record the settings for each album. Maybe call Soundsmith and see what they recommend since you have their awesome cart. If you do not have VTA on the fly then maybe set the VTA a little bit high. Then have a thicker mat to add bass or punch to the music when needed. I think 1mm higher VTA for the normal Mat and a 2- 3mm mat should give you some options. This would be adjusted by your ears for final VTA setup. I hope this helped.
