A turntable that plays all types of music well

Hi,

Yes correct Lenco is idler drive but looking for non idler replacement that plays all genres well

check out many turntable reviews and many of them well this turntable is ideal for classical or jazz or acoustic but not for rock ....It doesnt mean it aint good but is not quite as good for some type of music.

Lets just say most interested in recommendations for a TT from individuals that happen to play a wide range of styles of music and heartily recommend it.

I am considering the merrill real 101.3 and the helius viridia

Lot of ideas...thanks ....people have strong opinions about tt.

I know people who don't like SME or VPI even Brinkman and they are in the industry......

Some hate direct drive others dislike belt system.

High mass versus skeletal design....

I even think the power cord does......YMMV...hearing and music pleasure is rather subjective

Let me clarify one more time....

Some tt provide better bass and for me that matters more for some genres than others....

If you think your tt handles all music and sounds equally well that is awesome but it ain't what I hear....

For some genres bass production less important imho.

If we can focus on recommending an under 10K turntable and focus less on the rest thanks

I may well keep the Lenco but its very bulky and if it ever needs repairs and I cannot find someone who does house calls, it will be a large paperweight.  I am not keen on trying to fix it myself one day.

A local dealer will bring over a Helius Viridian table later next month which would pair nicely with my Helius 10 inch tonearm.

I have heard it before and it was excellent but want to see if it will better my Lenco.
