It might be tempting to dismiss the Sound Burger as nothing more than a low-rent knock-off of the Sony PS-F5 and PS-F9, but Sauck says it deserves more love. “The Sonys are the champagne, the Sound Burger is the beer,” he says. “But the Sound Burger gave you a lot of the cool of the Sonys at a much lower price point.”
While the Sound Burger shares a basic form factor with the Sonys, it lacks their utility. Because it relies on a standard pivoted tonearm instead of the linear-tracking arm used in the Sonys, it has to be laid flat to play a record. Still, it’ll attract a lot more attention atop your equipment rack than any of today’s $3,000 ’tables could. (Here’s a Web page with a little bit more info.)
You can take a bite of the Sound Burger for as little as $250 if you get lucky, although models in pristine condition run as high as $700.
All my gear is vintage I bought in my 20's recently I bought the Dual CS5000 had to get a new cartridge the old one was and ADCOM not made anymore and new is a ORTOFON Blue. It sounds terrific. Its great to spin vinyl again after 25 years. I also got a Poineer PL41 which I gave to my GF. I was going to upgrade my whole system but may just keep the old gear. Heck it been playing fine for over 20 years. The only upgade to the system is replaced my Paradigm Bookshelf Monitor 6's with Klispch RF83's which shake my townhouse walls at loud levels.
Don't forget the beautiful Empire Turntables with that gold colored platter and base and glass/wood enclosure. I still have mine and it still runs perfectly.
I bought a Sony PS-LX520 linear-tracking turntable from a sweet little old lady (really!) on eBay a few years ago for $20. I added a cartridge and have had several years of trouble free listening, It's small enough to easily move close to my pc for direct recording of my vinyl (with a little preamp) so I can make cd's for my car. Maybe a little thing to high end enthusiasts but it works for me!
