THORENS TD 240-2
This was a tough call – in fact, we swayed between this and the Pro-Ject Juke Box S2 half-a-dozen times. The Pro-Ject may have the higher feature count, but this turntable offers an intriguing level of ease of use and sound quality. It was the ease of use and the automatic operation that tipped the balance here – partly because automatic turntables under £1,000 that sound this good are few and far between.
