Hi,
Newbie here. Really enjoying the content and expertise here. So a big thanks to all of you.
I am in the market for a turntable. Budget about $700 though I don't necessarily want to go that high.
I was looking at a vintage Michell Focus One recently with Michell unipivot arm. It fits well within my budget and, visually, I LOVE it. But that's the problem. Obviously, looks should only be a small part of the decision so I'm looking for some solid objectivity/cool-headed thinking from you to guide me properly.
Am I simply better going with a new turntable like a Rega Planar 1 or a Pro-ject or should I continue to explore the vintage market - and, if so, what should I be looking for beyond the Michell?
Any and all advice on this very gratefully received. Thanks.
