Hi friends
Can you please suggest a good turntable to play Vinyl discs.
I am new to vinyls
Thanks in advance
 
hi Malvai
Thanks for the reply
Budget no problem as long as its not the high end one :)
 
Hmm... In that budget, i would recommend the following in order:

1. Clearaudio Emotion
2. Technics 1200 / 2110
3. Project 2 Expression or one of the mid-priced RPM's
 
Hi Malvai
Clear audio Emotion is more than 2000 Dollars here
and the other two brands are not availabe. :(
 
Is that $1000 for JUST the turntable or does it need to include the cartridge, the cabling, the phono stage as well? What are the other parts of the system you already have in place?
 
Dranil, we are not aware what is available in Dubai. If you can enquire locally and give us a list of what is available, people like Shaizada can the shortlist the best for you. TheKinge may be able to help you as he has browsed most of the shops in Dubai. Last few times I have visited, I have never seen any unit on display.

Of course, being in Dubai, you can order online and get it delivered to your place. In which case the whole world is open to you.

Which route do you want to take?

Cheers

Alternatively you can look for the Blue Note TT's... they are available in India with tonearm + Rondo Red Cartridge for about Rs 50,000/-

If they are available in Dubai, you'll get em a lot cheaper!

I have heard one such player and it sounded super good for the money!
 
Thanks a lot Malvai and Shaizada:)

After going through all options available locally
I am thinking of buying one online.

Please recomend one (TT and catridge) coming around 1000 dollars.
I am using Onkyo 3007 amp and Klipsche RF 83 speakers.
Cables I can get locally.
Thanks.
 
See dronil,
you'll get a lot of nice tables in that budget.

I'd recommend these:
1. Look at the Project Catalogue, Both the RPM and the Expression have a turntable in your price range.
2. Try Music Hall and Rega
3. You'll get brand new Technics 1200 and 1210's in your budget.
 
Hi friends:)
Anybody have experience with
Clearaudio concept Turn table?
How they compare with Pro-ject RPM5 ?

Hi...
i dont have experience of the Clearaudio concept TT...

But i do use the Clearaudio Ambient.... Before the Ambient I was using the Pro-ject 2 xperience, plus I have heard an RPM 5 for hours at an acquaintance's place....

So in a way i have sampled offering from both the manufacturers....

I'd say, overall the sonics of both company differ.

Between the 2 xperience and RPM 5 I prefer the 2 xperience...more open sound, tonally balanced... the RPM was very nice too but 'dark'....

The Clearaudio TT's are tonally the most correct.

If I were you, i'd go for the concept in a trice!
