Though the sky is the limit for turntables these days, the $2,000-to-$3,000 range has so many excellent choices, with the playing field being upset on a regular basis. Whether I’m listening to Herbie Hancock or Lee Morgan, the LSD delivers acoustic instruments with a level of tonal body and contrast that I’m not used to from a $2,000 turntable. As I listen to the records from the large pile of my Music Matters Blue Note collection, it becomes clear that this table gets to the heart of the music-it’s a master of tone. After a few long evenings of playing records until the wee hours, I still find myself shaking my head, wondering how this much performance can be had for two grand. A standard felt mat, similar to the one on a Rega or Linn table, is included at no charge.ĭropping the stylus on the record is a revelation, pure and simple. distributor, suggests using only the 3-mm Achromat, as the 5-mm version raises the arm too far for the correct vertical tracking angle to be established and bumps the arm up against the dust cover.

Brian Tucker of Pro Audio Ltd., Funk Firm’s U.S. You can also dress it up with a different colored Achromat for an extra $99. Our review unit arrived in a very THX 1138–esque shade of white, but the table is also available in black or red, or with a black top and wooden base. And the Little Super Deck (or LSD) from the Funk Firm will indeed take you on a trip to vinyl bliss, doing so for a lot less money than you’d expect-$1,995 to be exact. Things that reference hallucinogenic drugs tend to pique my interest.
