Best turntable under 50k?

[A-Line]

My current Linn LP12, Lyra Kleos, & EAR 324 combination makes me very happy.

There's lots of choices these days for turntables and accessories in the less than $50K price range.

Do this guy a favor.

I had this misguided opinion ....

Well, since you treated my post disrespectfully, I'll do the same with yours.

Like little uncontrolled pit bulls, you pounce on posts that obviously don't fit with your know-it-all and entrenched opinion. But why can't you read and apparently don't understand arguments either? For professors and teachers, this is a disgrace but symthomatical for these idiocracy times we live in.

I was talking about technical quality and not about some kind of sound evaluation or ranking driven by your psychoacoustics hell. So please start reading and understand the reading first.

From a technical perspective a Micro Seiki BL-51 will be beaten to death e.g. by a DUAL CS-604, any TEchDas by a DUAL CS-701.

Thanks Johan, and all the Impex 1STEP I've been buying lately (thanks to you) sound amazing...

And technical specs are all that matters, right? Where have we heard this before?

I use to have the air version of this table with a stainless steel platter. I replaced it with a BL-111 Air which I find to be warmer and more musical.

I am in agreement with Soundman. My TechDAS Air Force 3 Premium is in another league above that batch you favor. Dual? in 2024? You have issues. But enjoy the joy ride!

The BL 111 is excellent

Indeed, and the BL-51 is highly underrated.

Am i to understand you are saying a Dual CS 604 /701 betters both an MS or TD ..?
