cant hope to keep up, but here ya go:
B&O 3300 with MMC5 cart, cork dots on the platter. didnt like the thought of the record sitting on an aluminum slab. oh yeah, i stuck vinyl soundproofing matting to the underside of the platter.
Dual 1245 with Micro Acoustics MA282e cart. the wife managed to destroy the stylus one day, so i bought the B&O, since i always wanted one. the Dual has a home-made base (granite paint over MDF) and a home-made dust cover (aluminum sides and plexiglas front and top). owned this rig since new ('78?)

Making up for lost time
This is my Technics SP-25 with Grace 707 Mk. II that I built in the early '80s. It has a solid teak base supported by Audio Technica vibration dampers/levelers. It currently has a lower end Grado. I have really enjoyed this turntable, even with the warped anti-static mat. One of these days I will clean it up a bit. Right now it just spins vinyl with no complaints.

Hi, that particular one is solid mahogany. Eric (http://www.soundofthewood.com/) can supply a number of different hard woods for various AR's. It is correct for the specified arm (Rega) even to the extent that VTA is taken care of to within the 5mm my mats occupy. The only thing I did was drill the three mounting holes because I planned to go with a reworked RB250 OR RB300 but an RB900 came up for not a lot more than I would have paid to acquire and modify one of the above.

Unfortunantly, no...but I'd like to someday.

I think I have! I really like the cartridge. It's all about great albums now. If it's a crap mix it's not really worth listening to.
Next will be the Blue Point Special Evo III. Or the Blackbird.
How do you like the arm on there?

That picture may be the very definition of lust.
I could stare at that table all day long.

Time to try again now that I don't have the Ariston...
well,here's my little corner of the analog world;
a 35 year old BSR 200BAX that is the sole remaining compnenent i still have of my very first hi-fi system that i inherited from my biological father (who has since dissasociated himself from his family) seven years ago. i just finished relubricating it for the first time in 30-odd years, and now it gets up and goes like new! not a world beater, but gets the job done, a fine sounding table. also got there an older zerostat that i got for $5 at "audio service specialties" in portland,oregon. i intend eventually to replace that table with this;
the PIONEER PL-90. i may not be an vinyl addict, but i still want a classic turntable in the system. also, here's a pic of the PL-7L, the japanese market version of the PL-90;

Michell. It works pretty well on the Pro-Ject.

My "original" Technics 1200. Got it for free in 1992 from a friends neighbor, saved from the trash. It's the only component that was left behind in the 2004 burglary of my house. Cartridge is pretty new, a KAB custom Stanton V.3AE from a fellow AK member. I added the led's on the dustcover a couple of months ago. Now I just need to stay awake when listening at night.
