Turntables

We’ve sold turntables since 1976, and we still set up every one before it leaves the shop — cartridge mounted and aligned, tonearm balanced — so it sounds right on day one and protects your records.

New turntables

Pro-Ject is our most affordable European-made line, and every model ships with a tonearm, damped cueing, and a diamond-needle cartridge. We stock the T1 (Ortofon OM5 cartridge, glass platter), the Debut Carbon EVO (carbon-fiber arm, Sumiko cartridge, three speeds, in walnut or black), the award-winning Debut Pro, and the RM1.3. All are made in Europe with a three-year warranty.

We also carry Rega (the P3) and American-made VPI, including the Classic and the Traveler. Cartridges, needles, and styli from Ortofon and Grado are in stock, and we’ll fit them for you.

All include a pre-mounted cartridge, dust cover, and cables, with 1–3-year parts-and-labor warranties.

• DENON — DP300 automatic (33/45, built-in preamp); DP400 semi-automatic (33/45/78, built-in preamp, USB output).
• PRO-JECT — T1, Carbon Evo, RPM1, Carbon Pro — handmade in Europe, three-year warranty.
• REGA — P3, made in England, three-year parts-and-labor warranty.

“Gold Sound simply had too many turntables to even begin to judge them. Rega, Thorens, Pro-Ject, Denon — the list is seemingly endless.”

The Absolute Sound

Vintage turntables

Thorens is the world’s oldest turntable maker, building in Switzerland since 1883, and many reviewers rate them the best vintage decks ever made. We usually have a range in stock — TD124, TD125, TD126, TD150, TD165 and more — on solid walnut or mahogany bases, many with Swiss watch-bearing tonearms. Vintage stock rotates constantly and is local-sale only, no shipping.
