Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,,


Hi All,

Im looking for suggestion or any forms of recommendation for a New Turntable,My  buget is from 10-15K. I already have a Tri-Planer Tone arm and just looking to upgrade the table.


Not interested in the Kuzma or VPI, below are the ones i am looking at mostly:

AVID Acutus
Oracle,
Brinkmann
Nottingham
Origin Live
Hanns
Transorotor


Or a Older Gerad, Technics SP-10 Thorens?

Anymore suggestion,

I abandoned Vinyl many years ago in pursuit for the best digital gear. Was extremely disappointed with the MSB Diamond & Analog DAC after owning it for over 18 months i sold them both.

I now have the Playback Design Merlot dac and pleased with it but would like to go back into Vinyl.

Im looking for a very musical presentation, transparent, speed which has a nice midrange bloom but not over the top. Somethign which can last me for a few years at least 5-8 years with out upgrading.

I am with stringreen, why is VPI not even a consideration, the HRX and the new Avenger would fit your price restraints and should at least be considered amongst the quality decks you mentioned.

You should add the Galibier Gavia II to your list.  It meets your criteria and is a great match with the Triplanar.
Artisan fidelity Lenco 75.  I own one and it is incredible.  Any Artisan Fidelity table would work.

If buying new - not on your list:
- DPS 3 - I regret not buying the original DPS - compact turntable - has the weight and aplomb of a big deck.
- Amazon Referenz ((I have the model one)
- Townshend Rock 7 
-  SME 20/2 - many think they actually sound better with a different arm to the SME V
- Funk Saffire  http://www.thefunkfirm.co.uk/turntables/saffire_III.html - sounded superb
- the grand prix monaco 

Of those on your list I have to say my favourite is the Avid Acutus
