Love my Dual 604 semiautomatic turntable I purchased new in the late 1970’s. No issues at all after owning for more than 40 years. The semiautomatic feature has never failed to work correctly. Very inexpensive German TT when purchased on the used market.
Forever turntable under $2000
In search of: forever turntable.
I'm currently looking to upgrade from my existing Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 to a table that I will (hopefully) never grow out of. I'm looking for something that is *technically* competent, something where I know the engineering is extremely solid and "timeless," and provides a good analog platform to swap carts with. My budget for this is $1600 with cart (but up to $2000 if there's a good case for it). The rest of my system is as follows:
* LSA 2.1 Statement speakers
* Schiit Gumby DAC
* Schiit Freya preamp
* Adcom GFA555 power amp
* Schiit Mani phono stage
So far, I have looked into the Rega P6 (or a used RP6), a Clearaudio Concept, a variety of Pro-Ject offerings, and a Michell Technodec... but at this level there are so many choices, its hard to know where to start. Any ideas? Thanks!
