I am looking for some high class audiophile/olschool turntable. Today I found this one. I brought Analord 1 with me and man! It sounded like pure orgasm. It was wonderful. Any1 expirienced wit B&O turntables? I would buy this one for about 300euros, is it a good deal?

there were two turntable topics this weekend, by ecnadniarb, drunken mastah posted other stylish, affordable turntables in it
i dont know wether a certain expensive record player would sound much better than another one, but if it sounds good you might wanna get it

B&O is for rich people to brag and to show off about.

yeah. That is a linear turntable as well. I have a sony linear turntable... cool idea, but it has some problems tracking at times. Mainly you want to invest in a nice cartridge/needle, as the turntable doesn't really do much else but turn the record. As long as it has a nice strong motor to keep pitch, and the motor is nice and quiet (picking up motor noise sucks). Direct drive is good if you are djaying, but belt driven creates a better sound and isolates the motor from the platter. You will notice alot of the higher end audiophile tables isolate the motor from the platter completely, as well as the power supply.

B&O, before that "design is everything" period (which just ended in a way) made QUALITY. ANY piece of hifi from them would last twenty years without deterioration in sound!
as for the stuff in the other thread that Big mentioned, it was rega and Clearaudio.. Clearaudio is fucking top of the line, but equally expensive...

what amplifier do you use for your turntable (special "phono" one, or do you use "aux" ?)?

When hooking up a turntable you need to plug it into the phono input, as the output needs special amplification to match "line" level.

you need phono, 'cause you need that grounding thing to remove the static, or else you'll get a hum on your playback...

yeah, and most new recievers also have that bass-adding filter, since turntables are kind of bass-deficient...

Actually, you need phono becuase you need to pre-amplify the signal. You could essentially hook into another input, but it will be very very quiet. If you don't have a phono input, you can buy a pre-amp for about $20-50 online.
