Looking to buy Sansui XR-Q9 (help me)
Denon DP-62L (I love the UFO's)
Denon DP-55L (Rare)
Denon DP-23F (My son likes to use it and if he damages it, I can handle it emotionally)
Marantz 6100 (Absolutely mint and I can't let it go)
Music Hall MMF5 (office)

My wife hates them so I'll be looking to buy another here or there.


Fantastic response. Made me laugh. :lol:

I love the old stuff ... and yet I am old too.

My TT's in order of performance and usage:

1. Thorens TD 160B /SME 3009 - deployed in basement vintage system. Awesome.
2. Kenwood KD 550 w/ stock Kenwood arm - deployed in home theatre. Awesome.
3. Marantz 6300 - #1 back up. Very good.
4. Pioneer 514 - came with a sweet OM 10 for just 25$. Kind of impressive for what it is. Donated to my son.
5. Yamaha P751 - was my #1 deck when I started this February 2012. Decent direct drive automatic. Donating it to my other son.
6. Technics SL-1300 (an oldie from early 70's, not a MK I or MK II) - got it for free and I am fixing it. It is in maintenance status.
7. Magnavox model something or other - don't know. Another free-bee. Has a p-mount cartridge. Have not looked at. Too many other projects.

I had just one TT in February. By June I had seven. Is something wrong with me?

I have a girlfriend who supports me and helps me find good used vinyl. Which is nice.

:D


No, there are plenty of folks here that are sick like us. I just picked up an elusive Sansui XR-Q11... My wife's eyes bugged out when I told her.

I almost scored my 8th TT in 5 months. Just had a Dual 1229 slip by while I was out of town. I tried to get it though. 8)

Unfortunately it's never enough... I saw a micro table today eBay and bid on it... Good news though, someone outbid me because I got distracted...

Too bad about the 1229... Plenty more where that came from!

Right now I've got four...

Dual 1219 - my main TT, hooked straight into a Technics SA-5470 receiver...
Dual 1226 - backup, needs new stylus I believe
Dual 506 - in storage
And a crappy USB turntable that I'm eventually gonna get rid of...
