Much of the worth of top tables is in the handling of them and how they appeal to your aesthetics. You could simply buy one that you seem to like now, or, drive or fly to a big city to actually handle and listen to them. In truth, if you pick VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, etc... you will not go wrong. Yes the sound ultimately will be a bit different for each, but you could live with any of them.
"House sound" of VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, MH, etc.
I'm seeking the collective wisdom/opinions of this to group. I've definitely decided to get back into vinyl and have posted about some of my auditions. My trouble is that I have to travel several hours to hear anything other than the basic Regas and the Marantz table.
In your experience, is there a "house sound" to a brand - VPI, Clearaudio, Rega, Nottingham, Sota, etc? If so, can you describe that house sound in relation to the others?
I'll use your experience to help narrow my focus.
