That “quality” thing that we mentioned does require an investment.

This list could have included products like the iconic Linn Sondek LP12, Michell Gyrodeck, Roksan Xerxes, Oracle Delphi, Well Tempered Lab turntable, SOTA Sapphire, or even an older Lenco or Garrard, but we wanted to keep this below $2,000. Not every vintage turntable is worth considering. “ Vintage” gets used a lot as a marketing term to attract a certain type of customer - but don’t confuse that attempt to sell you something with reality. Vintage turntables have become extremely popular during this new golden age of vinyl, but we are not entirely convinced that consumers looking for a vintage turntable really understand what that entails. Do vintage turntables really offer a better listening experience than modern tables below $2,000? There is no question that certain vintage turntables offer superior build quality and reliability but that also comes with a higher asking price if repairs need to be done or parts need replacing
