I’ve got a new-to-me Technics SL-3200 with a Shure M97xE cart. Pretty cheap, but it sounds good for the money.

My Technics SL-3200 Zane Sony DVP-NS700P

 

[Jimbo White]

Heres a short list of mine.

Thorens TD145MK
Thorens TD160
Garrard AT6
Marantz 6100
Marantz 6200
Marantz 6300
Technics SL-D2
Technics 1301

I have a few others but they are just sitting on shelves. My Favs are the Thorens Obviously followed very closely by the AT6. I have had my SL-D2 for more years than I care to admit and it has served me very well. I had to retire it to the shelf when one of the kids got to it with a marker. Lets just say I was not a happy camper at all !!!! some day I hope to have a Mitchel Gyro Deck. and maybe even an Oracle. For now I am very content with my small collection.

I have a Harmon/Kardon T60 with a NagoakaM110 cartridge and it sounds good.
Before that a Denon DP57 with a Nagoaka M150 cartridge,that was heavenly, I still kick myself for selling it.

This makes my turntable look like a toy. Nice!!

 

[OldSchoolJoe]

JVC QL-A7 and Pioneer PL-707. The Pioneer has recently started to keep speed. Anyone have any suggestions?

I did not think I would see turntables and vinyl become popular after CD's came out in the 1980's. It's understandable to me as a person is more involved when playing records. Soooo, after two decades sans records, I set up my old "Close & Play" Technics SL-J3 and was through impressed with the sound and began playing my old record collection again. The Shure V15-5 P-mount cartridge sounded fantastic. Then one day she just would not spin. I replaced it a well reviewed entry level player but was not impressed with the build and now have a Empire 398 with a Grado Prestige Gold2. (Very, very impressed with the build! Oh, and it sounds fantastic!)

I had a modified Project Debut III for many years. For an entry level table, it was okay. My modifications and upgrades elevated it to "okay plus". (See attached pic) Since I don't play my LP's very often, I didn't mind the manual operation.
Now well into my sixties, I found this table to be a manual pain in the ass. I also got sick of the audible motor noise between cuts.
My local vintage audio emporium, Ecotopia, had a very nice Technics SL-D303 automatic turntable for sale. I was able to trade my Project and a few additional bucks for it. I am very pleased. The Technics has the more sophisticated tonearm of the upper ranges of the period (no VTA) and a very solid MDF plinth. No motor noise and it shuts off at the end. It also has the standard 1/2 inch tone arm head shell so I am not limited to P-mounts. If any of you make it Motown, I highly suggest checking out Ecotopia.

I myself could never deal with a manual, love my Pioneer PL 518 Semi auto sometime you just can't get to the turntable.

[bastelwut]

Right now i have a Le Tallec and since two days an Perpetuum Ebner PE33 Studio.

Love my pioneer PL 518 and 514 also, using the 518 now with a audio technica cartridge 440mlb sometime I use the 2m blue Ortofon, or a Signet MC 110E.

 

[bastelwut]

I also had a "modern" turntable. A Rega RP3.
It was easily one of the best TTs I ever had and probably better then my current stuff.
But well...it just didn't feel right and definately didnt look like a perfect mach to my 60ies
equipment.

 

[DrummerGeek]

Just upgraded from my 15 year old Sony LX250h
I now have a Technics SL-BD35, and I am starting a DIY project to build a plinth for a Technics SP-25 I was recently given.
I am waiting on a new belt for the BD35, but I just put a AT85e cartridge in it. I'm holding on to the Audio-Technica Series V cartridge it already had.
The SP-25 will begin life with a Pioneer PL-41A tonearm with an Audio-Technica headshell and AT95e cartridge.
