What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?


The sound quality isn’t great, so rather than something super revealing, something that is very musical, and can also convey the magic. Sort of the Decca cartridge equivalent of turntables. I am guessing less Caliburn and Techdas, more Linn, Roksan, Denon, EMT 927, Rega, even.

First of all, if you have good copies of their LPs some of the LZ albums sound amazing on a good system. You don't need to hide the detail of the recordings. You should hear dynamic full bodied drums, delicate acoustic guitar, throaty resonant vocals, etc. 
If you're listening to $1 garage sale beaters, getting a cartridge with stylus type that's good at slogging through those would yield some betterment of a bad situation, but that's all it is. Cheers,
