The best models (in my opinion) are any of the direct drive turntables from the 70s by name manufacturers. I've had a number of them that I've bought for anywhere from $5 to $50. Good brands are Technics (naturally), Pioneer, BSR, Denon, etc. I wish I still had my dad's old turntable from the 60s, as it was very nice, and was where I first heard "Sgt Pepper's" and "Are You Experienced." For that matter I wish I had his german headphones with the oil-filled ear muffs ...
