Have EMM cdp and DCC2 - what turntable to buy


Hi
I have the EMM Labs cdp & dcc2, dac. I have Atma-Sphere MP1 with phono stage and the upgraded Jensen MC transformers , and MA1.3 amps .

Wanted to buy a turntable and would like it to be of a higher level audio quality if possible.

I would be willing to spend the cash if it can be an upward adventure. Surely don't want it to be sideways.

Any experienced thoughts welcome.

It would be my first TT so low maintenance is important.

IMO, there is no question you can top the performance of your EMM Labs digital gear with an analog front end. As good as the Meitner gear is - and it is the very best digital front end I have personally ever heard - a top notch analog front end is, to my ears, in another league.

I am very pleased with my current analog rig, which consists of the latest model VPI TNT, the SME IV tonearm and the Dynavector XV-1s cartridge. Some ideas in higher end turntables that meet your "low maintenance" criterion are the Brinkmann Balance and Lagrange, the Simon Yorke S7, and the SME 30/2. I believe all of these could likely give you what you are looking for.
