Recommend a turntable!
I’m not a turntable newbie as I bought my first turntable in the 70’s and now I have a very nicely specified Linn LP12 and a Thorens TD 124 that was beautifully overhauled in 2025. So why am I asking? I’ve put together a 2nd system far more modest than my main system, and there’s no turntable in the 2nd system.
So what am I looking for? I’ve never owned a direct drive turntable, so I’m thinking- direct drive it is. I specifically do not want anything with a built in phono stage. And in keeping with the modest nature of my 2nd system, this has to be a lower cost turntable but it has to be something good. Is there anything in the $1000 range?
for a second system, I might consider this. I’d put a new upgraded cartridge on it, I think it would be an easy automatically aligned/calibrated P mount. I don’t know anything about it, others _____? this popped up https://audiokarma.org/forums/threads/sony-ps-lx500-lx510-lx520-lx55-lx57-knowledge-thread.748374/
