What Turntable do you use?

I currently have a 1986 Townshend Rock II with plinth and cover, which I bought new in 1986 funily enough. It has a Moth variant of the RB250 which had been rewire from cart tags to phonos and foam filled by AO and has a OL stub and counterweight. It origonally came with a Denon DL110, I have had Goldring Eroica, 1022Gx and 1042 fitted and currently have turned full circle and have a DL110 fitted, with a 1042 in the cupboard.

Currently using a Thorens TD125 Mk II. Rehoused in a plinth from the late Fisherman Henk. The TP16 was rewired by Johnny at Audio Origami. The whole lot (including the motor control circuit) was then serviced by Colin at Audio T in Enfield, using new belt, oil, etc from Joel Boutreux. I'm really happy with it. The finishing touches will be a new acrylic dust cover, and a new cartridge. Then I'm done fixing and can concentrate on buying more LPs!

It's an amazing TT for sure Fred, but have you noticed a somewhat sobering detail: When The Terminator stated menacingly, "I'll be back" in the early 1980's, it could never have anticipated returning as an exotic high-end tonearm... :lol:

Afrikane's burgundy Dunlop Systemdek Transcription turntable must be the the prettiest survivor from Troon, Ayrshire

Chopsrr, I had to do a double take. I have a Denon atop Salamader set with a Yamaha piece of gear at the top right. But your tt is prettier. What model Denon?

Thanks! It's the DP-55K with Grace G-707 Mk II tonearm.

Relative Newbie here. Greetings to All. Here is an iPhone snap of my Thorens TD2010. The record on the platter is the Spectrum/Captain Memphis/Tim Love Lee 7" on Great Pop Supplement.

I'm a boring guy.

The main player is a Linn LP12, black ItokLVll, Linn Asaka, Lingo, Cirkus.

My 'office' turntable is a Denon DP51F with a Linn K5.

But I'm really happy with them.
