Tossing out a question about some 'tables...


Greetings all!

In my recently renewed quest to upgrade my source components, I have (re)started my turntable search. In this episode, our intrepid hunter is asking the collective their opinions about the following tables (assuming all are equipped with their std. tonearms and a cartridge TBD):

AR EB101
Thorens 318
Linn Axis

Said hunter knows there are other tables out there (and he isn't discounting them), the above models are currently available through various sources. So...fire away...

Thanks!

Hi Greg

I bought a used Linn Axis here at Audiogon a couple of weeks ago. I could not be more happy with this table as a starter table after many years away from vinyl.

While I have not yet bought enough used vinyl to use it much, my opinion on what this table can do with a good record is very high and leaves me with no doubt that I made a fine choice.

That said, I have already found that like CD...poor recordings still sound poor. This was somewhat of a suprise to me all though it should not have been. I guess we all should know better than to beleave everything we read.

On the other hand, good vinyl does have the magic that we all read about and I will never be with-out vinyl again.
