Several beautiful recent posts (couple of Thorens, Empire, etc.), but think the VPI deserves a full-sized display. If I ever go back to a manual/belt-drive TT, this is the rig I would aspire to. :thmbsp::yes:

Welcome to the forum! One of my favorite Duals. I have been trying to find one locally, but no luck. I bet it sounds nice.


Thanks man. I'm so new to this that I just learned how to adjust the weight and skate and I've owned this since 1988. Fun stuff!

i found one tiny scratch at the back...
immediately after i made said tiny scratch whiles setting it up.

finally a replacement for the AKAI.

in all honesty, the CD player still sounds kinda better.

my newest addition to the stable. A Lenco L70 retrieved from a life at the garbage dump, which is where it was going when I found it. It was all stock with some scratched, which didn't matter because the mechanical portions was all I required. I used Padauk wood in an open plinth design, and an Ortofon SPU GM Mono cartridge, mounted to a 14" custom SME3014 arm by Radgear. A double platter will materialize once I find a second platter.

This looks amazing!
 
Perhaps not the most eccentric, or expensive, turntable. Still, I'm happy with my ProJect Debut Carbon Espirit DC. It's got the standard Ortofon 2M Red. The DC model seems to be void of any hum problems.

It sounds great with my very own phono stage:

I had already posted a photo of my Revox B795 but here is my latest addition; a Technics
SL-1700. I installed a Grado Prestige Gold1 cartridge in it and must say it's an excellent sounding setup. The turntable has auto eject and shutoff which is a requirement for me but does limit my choices. The light on the upper edge of the dust cover is a Lencolamp made in Switzerland. It turns on/off by a position sensor. I bought it new back in the 70's. It does a nice job of lighting up the record. I recently bought two more off eBay new in the factory packaging for my sons. They haven't been made in years so they're hard to find. Meanwhile my one son sold his ReVox turntable and bought a Funk Firm Vector turntable which by design can't use a hinged dust cover.

For some reason I can't see how to remove the picture so I guess anyone who doesn't like amps, CD players or racks is stuck with it for now

I hope to add more in the future but for the moment I have a Thorens TD-160 with a Sumiko Blue Point #2 cartridge, a plinth made of 120 year old oak (the plinth is a work in progress), an Acrylic Platter from Vinyl Nirvana, and a Jelco tonearm waiting on a cable so that i can install it. I have to admit that the tonearm was a stroke of good luck as i got it for under $30 on the premise that the vertical movement was broken. That turned out to be a terrible choice in oil, which turned into a glue like substance. A lot of cleaning got it back in order
