Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?

The Shindo Garrard and the Palmer 2.5 are quite nice, not inexpensive or affordable by any stretch...although it might be difficult to track down the Shindo Garrard 301.

I don't know if they have been out for over 5 years but Shinola Runwell turntables look like a solid design to me. I think they partnered with VPI for the basic design.

Probably the company wants the table to appeal to a younger generation of audiophiles. How many people under 40 yrs old know what a phono preamplifier does? Not to mention the fact that for 30+ years HT receivers did not even offer a preamp as a option for turntables. Now a great many do offer it.

BTW If i had a notion to get back into vinyl and I had $10k laying around the house I would consider the Shindo Garrard or the Palmer turntable.
