Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?

I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.

Does any of you have one of those ?

"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.

Unless you want to spend $350k on a Wilson Benesch. Origin Live Voyager S could be up there as well. But I'd go with a Dohmann before any others myself.

No one here mentions any direct drive TT. The Dohmann Helix is the only belt drive I’d have in my system, if I were limited to BD.
