What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?

It is entirely possible to optimize the TT for one genre over another. Much of that is merely cartridge /tonearm selection. Though the selected cartridge/tonearm may be entirely fine in all other genre's, it has been voiced by its owner for one particular genre.

With regard to the motor unit, all genre's will benefit from a platter spin that doesn't change its pace, however minutely, in response to modulated stylus drag. But it will be more apparent when reproducing rock.

I'd like to know how you can optimize a TT for 80's rock as opposed to 70s' rock.

Modulated stylus drag is likely more audible solo piano FWIW.

Some phono cartridges will describe the texture and tones of an acoustic instrument better than others. But will the same cartridge that so deliciously described the wood inside the soundbox of that Martin guitar also lend itself toward getting that over-cooked Jimmy Page electric guitar solo rendered so that the listener perceives its reality?

Yes.

Some turntables will deliver this compulsion better than others. All you have to do is hear this to know it.

This is 100% correct. And audible with all genres of music.

Atma-Sphere is wrong, once again. But if he wants to convince some of us he should try and prove what he says.
Next thing he might say is that amp is an amp, and if it's good it's equally good for everything. Then he will move to speakers. And after that to guitars. Martin guitar would not be best for flamenco or the kind of music that John McLaughlin used to play. John himself said it, I am just repeating it.
There is a lot of art in designing good equipment, not only "stupid" science. But a lot of science too.
 

Actually Inna, you are once again wrong. Here's how:

Amps and speakers are for music reproduction. Guitars are not. They are a source of music. You are engaging in a Strawman argument, which is a logical fallacy. The use of a logical fallacy in any argument renders the conclusion to be false. That's why they call it a 'fallacy'.

Amps and speakers do behave differently BTW, which is why I make tube amps. But the goal is to reproduce the signal applied to them as accurately as possible and any good speaker design has that at heart as well.

FWIW I play in a band, one of the louder ones in the Twin Cities area. Its not like I'm any stranger to rock, and I've also played in orchestras here in town including appearances with the Minnesota Orchestra.

Atmashere, you amps are good and that's about it. Stay within your area of expertise. The source of music is mind not an instrument.

I know, as I guess any Zep fan does, that Page used a Tele on Zep 1 with a small overdriven amp. When he started using Les Pauls, I think he overdrove them by using the Echoplex preamp into the amps- Marshalls? Live -very loud.
Reproducing that at home- OK.
Source?
What I hear on the various pressings is differences in emphasis- the Classics, particularly the 45s (I only have Zep 1 and IV on Classic 45) have detail galore, but are a tad bright to my taste- very much a modern sound. The UK of III is pretty yummy, as is the UK of II (both early plums, my III is a Peter Grant credit so it is a very early one, my LZII not a first UK, probably a second). Everybody likes the US RL of II which does kick ass, but the plum of II is underrated. For 1, which I probably have the most copies of-- though I don’t have a Turquoise first, I have an early one with essentially the same lacquer info--it is bested by both the ’74 US Piros remaster and a Japanese third pressing, which is pretty impressive. The Piros is very ’of a piece’- cohesive, in the sense that it all fits together- it doesn’t have the bass power or punch of Zep II, but overall, it and the Japanese pressing are currently my preferred copies- nothing seems over emphasized. I don’t really want to shell out the bucks for a Turquoise LZ 1, but if anybody has directly compared one to some of the other Zep 1 pressings, I’d be interested in their impressions.
It’s too bad the Zep catalog wasn’t better recorded.

I primarily use 3 electric guitars these days (and one lap steel) made with differing woods, pickups, bridges, etc., and the sound and feel of each is completely different. That's why I use them. My amps are tube (except my current bass amp) with and without tube rectification, either push pull and single ended, with differing speakers…and they sound different…each as unique as my acoustic guitars. Note there are actual experts here, and to ignore expertise is a missed opportunity to learn something.

So, Wolf, have you gone to hear David Lindley do his one man shows? He is out and about again. Killer player, great range of stringed instruments. (And, not too loud, which always kills it for me- he used to use a Dumble but I think he just uses the house system for all these oddball instruments). And, he's great fun to talk to- very old Los Angeles, before everybody got so caught up in things.
