I'm looking for a used turntable and I'd prefer to spend under $500 used. I would also like to have something with an auto-lift feature. The sound I would like is something that is warm, fat, rich, sweet, full, and dark sounding....with euphoric midrange and deep punchy bass.........if there is such an animal as this. I've been playing with some old Dual stuff, but find these tables to be somewhat lean sounding. Any recommendations?

- "you'll need a medium to high mass tonearm. " Not necessarily. - HenryH 10:28:54 02/24/07 (0)
- Agree. Denon 103 cart. And I like Tubesforever's suggestion of Thorens table. - hukkfinn 07:58:19 02/24/07 (0)
- IMO, this has more to do with the cartridge than the table... - tvad 18:09:02 02/23/07 (0)
