List of Turntable Manufacturers

[Johnny Vinyl]

List of Turntables Manufacturers from around the Globe

There is a turntable here for anyone and everyone, ranging from entry-level all the way up to super expensive.

There are likely more manufacturers out there, so please PM me and I will add them to the list. However, they MUST HAVE a website link.

Great thread! It should be a sticky!

[Big Daddy]

John,

Thank you for doing this. You can add the following to the list.. The first link has the names of a few manufacturers. Some of them are not in your list.

Thank you Rich....it took awhile to compile. I hope it can be used as a reference for those just getting into vinyl, but also those considering a new and/or upgraded rig.

Thank you as well Big Daddy for the additional links. I shall add them at some point today. It's 6am and my first coffee hasn't quite kicked in yet.

The link I found for Blue Note takes me to the correct site, but it is now a music service and I cannot find any links within to take me to their turntable page. As such I did not include it in my orginal list. Same with the Blue Pearl turntable. If anyone can find a link, please let me know.

Hi Garlad,

Those are pretty neat CD players indeed!

I changed my avatar as prerich made a reference in one of his threads as to me being The TOTEM Guy. Then Big Daddy started the Totem Speaker thread and a few other guys started to refer to me by the same name. Hence, I created a new avatar!

I second that motion. Do we have the votes to carry it?

[Big Daddy]

John,

I better move my a$$ and create a few more sticky threads before you catch up to me.

Thanks guys for thinking this is worthy of a sticky. I appreciate your support.

To Big Daddy---- No need to worry my good man. I could never be as prolific as you, so I wouldn`t even try. But thank you

Right now I'd like to have just ONE! Still turntable-less I have a feeling this list is going to grow as TT manufacturers are a specialized breed and new designs and concepts are continually being introduced. Glad you like the thread Steve!

Weather today was great in the GTA and I'm looking forward to the annual tour of Ribfests and Waterfront Festivals!

Great job John! Nice to have this reference at my fingertips.

I seem to recall that the old Dual brand had been revived in the Euro market, but could not find any link to it. I did find the official Australian site, however. Maybe you could look into it...

Fred,

I couldn't find them either and presumed they were out of business and had thought that they might have gone the way of the AR turntables and the Benjamin/Elac/Miracord turntables and arms.

I couldn't find them either, but I did find reference site for them: http://dual-reference.com/


If someone can confirm whether or not they are still active, I'd be happy to include it. If, by general consensus, you feel it should be added regardless, let me know and I shall do so as well.

However, I'd prefer to keep this list for active manufacturers only.
