Thorens TD124
My TD 124 with a split-weight SME 3012 is fantastic! I will never trade it in or sell it.

Dual 1229
If you take a little time using two small metric scales and a strong lighted magnifier to see if the overhang and angle adjustments are accurate, and a test record to check anti-skate and tracking force, then you'll have one awesome sounding turntable. I've had good results using 1 to 1.25 grams tracking force, even with bass drum playback. Great turntable if you're using a tall cartridge as one of the Stanton 680 series, or the Shure M44 types because you can raise the tonearm height.

Technics SL-1900
Great turnable, newly acquired at a fraction of its original cost, in excellent condition (but not mint). Works as new, sounds great (Pickering X V15 IV was included) and keeps a beautiful and attractive look, 35 years later. Oldies but...

Pioneer PL-518
a fantastic deck after a couple of decades still rocking

Rega P25
A stunning looking and sounding deck with 2nd hand bargain potential. Eay to set up, happy with any cartridge, reliable and robust. When set up in the right system with a £200 to £300 cartridge (i use an Ortofon 2m bronze) it can compete with a £2000 Michel! Second hand price ranges from £250 to £500.Remember these machines are rare, they were only made for 25 year Rega aniversary.

Micro Seiki BL-111
Flawless, marvellous, elegance and beauty at the same time. Platter, inertia and spindle are at their best.

Dual CS 514
This isn't a bad unit for something that has gone on strong since ~1985 for me. It was originally retrofited with a ceramic cartridge to use on a boom box, but I soon learned of the beauty of a record's sound and upgraded it with an Ortofon OM30 (which at $230 in 1988 for a student was a LOT of money!). I'll always have it until it dies (though I will likely try and fix it). I just bought a replacement stylus (OM30, decided against the OM40 upgrade), and am very happy with the sound.

Pioneer PL-550
The peak of the golden age of the turntable. Plays better than anything I've tried from the last 15 years. I like it better than the automatic PL-570. Automatic turntables often looses some of the clean sound. Too much moving parts. I prefer this before a ten times more expensive tt. It's a love afair...

Technics SL-1210
Great value second hand at 200 GBP. Check the arm and headshell first. Arm fine and rewireable internally and externally. Big improvement is Achromat 1200 and weight.
