Turntables that have stood the test of time

Posted by Macncheez (A) on August 31, 2021 at 05:58:35

I am curious for thoughts on turntables from the era manufactured between 1970 and 1982. I love vintage tables and I'm looking for a new project. In my current line-up are Empire 598III, Micro-Seiki DQ41, Thorens TD160 and a newer Rega P3. The criteria I suppose would be type of table (DD, belt, rim) durability, ability to service or modify, availability and affordability (say, <500.00 used), availability of replacement parts and last, maybe the ability to resell.

Thanks in advance for any suggested models or insights into ones to stay away from.

The Thorens 3XX series is underpriced and unappreciated - spindoctor 11:22:23 09/22/21 (0)
