We are big fans of Vertere Acoustics' Dynamic Groove turntable. This is the high-end brand's entry-level model, with both the DG-1 and DG-1 S incarnations boasting five-star reviews and consecutive What Hi-Fi? Award wins thanks to their clever engineering and hugely entertaining, rhythmically driven and expressive sound. The Dynamic Groove is a mainstay of our best turntables guide if you're after a superb premium record player that does things just a little differently from more conventional designs.
There is now a new evolution of this turntable, called the Vertere DG X. The deck may look very similar to the previous model at first glance, but the DG X has been completely redesigned from the ground up. The aim is to improve performance and also make the manufacturing process quicker, which keeps the price competitive.
