What Turntable do you use?

the good, the bad and the ugly

Postby PCMHiFi » 22 May 2011 16:42

I have a Denon DP-72L with a Shure V-15 Type V cartridge and an MR replacement stylus.

Also just picked up a Technics SL-M2, Grado Prestige Gold P-Mount (for now) cartridge.

I have a "thing" for the '80s wood-plinthed DD tables, preferably with auto-lift.

My "complete collection" would include a Denon DP-59L, Technics SL-M1, and JVC QL-A95 in addition to the above.

At some point, I would change the arms on the Technics SL-Ms to accept standard-mount cartridges.

After a few years of rebuilding, tweaking, hair pulling, smiling, crying, and more tweaking I'm finally happy with the sound that this is generating. Now to sit back and just enjoy the music.

I have a Goldmund Reference with T3f arm, Ortofon Jubilee. Also a Roksan Xerxes with Rega RB300 and Ortofon MC20 (I think, the label fell off)

Mine's a Michell Focus One with ADC ALT-1 arm and Ortofon Super OM-10 cartridge.

Had the deck and arm from new in around 1984, while the cartridge is probably half that old.

I've been considering a new arm/cartridge - can't bring myself to replace the turntable, being a sentimental old sod!

My Project Tt

Postby RussP » 11 Jul 2011 15:40

After being without a turntable for about 15 years, since I still had about 50 LPs I figured I'd build something... So... ebay Rek o Kut K-33H plus Jelco SA-250ST plus Amazon Shure M97xE mixed with some Honduran and Bolivian Rosewood, here are the results. I'm very happy with this setup for a first step back into vinyl.

Looks like a cleaning arm. I've got one on my Thorens TD160B.

My Tt

Postby KizWould » 15 Jul 2011 13:26

Wow, I have just been through 33 pages of stereo p**n.

There is some beautiful gear on here.

This is a shot of my Kenwood KP-2022A. I am running an audiotechnica AT93 cart, factory tonearm.


Image

I love my Kenwood gear and think this TT looks right at home with my collection of equip from a very similar era;

My tables in current use are:

Main table - Sony PS 2250 / Jelco 370H / Denon DL304.
Sounds great. Really does.

Image

An eBay purchase, it came with original plinth and arm, plus this Russ Collinson plinth.

Image

Image

The original arm is a Sony PUA-114 and will be mounted on my Technics SP10 when I've finished bulking up its plinth

The SP10 is in pieces at the moment but the other table I'm using is a Denon DP60L. Bought as spares or repair as it has a
little cosmetic damage. I'm making a new stand for a tonearm rest as the original snapped off. Still works absolutely spot on though. Perfectly infact.

Lastly is a Mk5 Technics SL1210 / Jelco (LAD) 370D / Audio Technica ATF3

Image

Image

Great combination to be honest, but lives in my bedroom.

The baby system in the study will now have to be the main system until the house move is complete.

This is where I'm at now and can't see anything changing in the foreseeable. :D
