I love reading the various reference quality turntable threads, but I don't contribute much of anything there as it's out of my league. They sure are nice though and must sound absolutely out of this world, and I hope that one day I can actually listen to one of them. That would be a wonderful visual and aural treat!
Many of us however can't afford to lay out $40,000-$100,000+ for tables such as this, so I was wondering what the membership would consider reference quality TT's below $40,000. It's a different level of reference ($ wise) to be sure, but surely some great tables can be found and enjoyed as a last investment in a "record player". .
For me, one of those would be the Oracle Delphi Mk VI 2nd Generation. I'm not up on the price of a fully decked out unit, but I'm guessing $20K+ anyway. I think this TT would fare very well against the big boys, but recognize it won't squeeze the last of the last out of it.
What say you?
