I note Rusty mentioned a Linn Axis. Good shout – a very nice TT for the money.
I started off with a Revolver, which was good. Upgraded to an Linn Axis, which was better, before finally a LP12, which was and remains, better still .
Each step gets improvements – You “discover” an addtional octave of bass, or that the stereo “separation” improves so you can shut your eyes and visualise a “soundstage”, and that the more you spend, the more “realistic” the instruments tend to be, and how they seperate out and are easier to follow, despite the overall sound being quantifiably better.
It really is worth listening to a couple, and hearing what you’re buying before you spend. you might “discover” you enjoy your vinyl more than you anticipated…..
