There is no such thing as top end with vinyl. Poor-to-middling is as
good as it is possible to get. It has built into it distortion
levels
which, in an amplifier, would result in it being binned.
Bass response is limited by the need to limit groove amplitude in
recording, and by the necessary arm resonance at reproduction.
Treble response is limited by temperature rise in the cutting head.

In short, if you are interested in musical reproduction, forget it,
but if you just want to collect interesting technology make a bid.
But
don't go over a tenner.



Clearly you have never had the joy of listening to a direct cut disc
played on a good turntable with a moving coil cartridge into any sort
of reasonable system. It is a really something to behold.


I've had the vastly greater pleasure of listening to uncompressed
performances on CDs, with no background noise, bass in actual stereo
and a full frequency range.
