Survey: What Brand of Turntable Do You Use

Started with a JVC QL-Y66F as stated in post #244. I sold it and now have a Technics SL-1200GR with an Ortofon Bronze.

 

The only turntable I have ever owned so far (close to 15 years) is the Nottingham Analogue Interspace. Simple, easy to use and maintance free except for a drop of oil once a year.

 

Denon DP-45f

 

I've had a few in the past 15 years.

SOTA Star Series III/ Audiomods Arm / numerous cartridges- hated it. Didn't use it much.

Pioneer PLX-1000/ AT, Ortofon and Denon cartridges.
Liked it a lot. Still do. Didn't like the 2m Bronze.

Rega P3 2016 Audiomods arm/Groovetracer upgrades/ TTPSU etc etc. Nice, but didn't love it.

MoFi Ultradeck/Ultratracker- Finally have a table I love. Just need to figure out what cartridge goes on it when I've worn out the Ultratracker- maybe an A/T ART9 or a low output Grado woody.

 

I am using a Realistic LAB 395 that I purchased new in 1984. I got it serviced and set up a few months ago after a number of years of no use. I am enjoying it a lot at the minute spinning "Merry Christmas from Brenda Lee".

 

pro-ject 2004 debut lll w/ ortofon OM 20 stylus-acrylic platter-speed box-record clamp-am considering getting audioquest wildcat interconnects.

 

Empire 598 is my current spinner. I bought it a couple of years ago.
Some day I'll move up...

 

Harman Kardon ST-7, with backup ST-8 and ST-5 (projects, although they both work well enough; I have to call them projects or my SO starts asking questions. They did both require a decent amount of tweaking and calibrating upon thrifty purchase).

My only turntable has been my AR-ES1.

 

Wow, those are some serious speakers, nice looking system!

 

The definition of an audiophile is to find speakers that disappear and then put a spotlight on them.

 

Well, that's not my system, lol. I could never afford those electronics. The turntable was used as a source at an audio show.

Now the very happy owner of a reference Pioneer Pl-90 turntable in as new condition .

 

I have a VPI Classic and a Technics SL-1200 Mk2 hooked up right now.

 

Just last week I got an E.A.T C-Sharp. Sounds wonderful! A work of art.
