I have two humble turntables. A Technics Sl-j3 and a Technics SL-D202. I love both of them. I always seem to go back and forth on which one I perfer, so I just love them equally now.
What TT's do you folks have

- Start date
Just realized I posted this on the wrong thread... My mistake

Just picked up a Music Hall mmf 2.3 for the living room system. After replacing the factory load with a nice Ortofon F15E I had lying around and also going with the acrylic platter replacement, I think I've actually got a pretty nice sounding table. Very musical, very quiet and the lightweight arm does a very nice job of tracking without adding any extra feedback. Funny how the arm geometry is almost identical to my 1990 Pro-Ject One original edition.

No. It came with the acrylic platter so everything was setup correctly.
Mitsubishi LT30 straight-arm tangential tracker, mid-80s. Supported by four old AQ "Big Feet" blue sorbothane hemispheres. Currently, Ortofon M2 Black.
I had (now back in its box) a Rega Planar 1 - one of the newer ones. It was an interim deck to see if I was gonna get back into vinyl - and did I! I quickly replaced it with a Linn Axis/Linn Basik Plus/AT120eb - As decent as the Rega is, the difference in performance is night and day; the Linn at over 20 yrs old is still such a beautiful turntable. I now have a little upgrade bug, so will be looking to upgrade the stylus (ATN150SA perhaps) and buy a decent Phono Stage (currently using a Rega Fono Mini A2D)

Nice table, I am a fan of the pioneer PL turntables especially the 518 I have the 514 and love it.My prize - JVC QL-A7
View attachment 1195627
$399 off Ebay (paid for with proceeds from flipping three re-veneered Pioneer PL-518's)
+ stripped off the vinyl and applied real wood veneer
+ recharged the cue damping with 1M silicone (the 30k stuff was too fast)
+ new feet
+ new dust cover from JMK displays
+ Ortofon Blue cartridge and stylus
I've also got a really clean PL-540 sitting here that I'm getting ready to custom walnut plinth.

New to the forum here!
I just realized I actually have three TTs! One is not functional (my first player, being a cheap radio shack model). Last year I picked up an Audio Technica LP60 which I have been using for over a year but I just got a Pro-Ject Primary for Father's Day.

I think you are about 20 years off on the age of the Garrard.
