Quite the stable of TTs! What species of wood is the arm wand of your Reed 3P? What cart(s) are you using on the Reed?
Oh, instead of Elf on a Shelf, what SUTs are on the window sill? I see a Hashimoto at the far end but have no idea about the other three.

Thanks for the info! My 3P's arm wand is teak (dark). I chose teak because the Reed literature said the 12" teak version would have an effective mass of about 14gr but the paperwork that came with the arm says its EM is 18gr. Isn't that about what your Wenge version is? I'm currently using a Dynavector TKR but have used an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Nagaoka MP-500, and a Benz-Micro LP-S plus a couple of others. Wonderful arm.
You have a nice array of SUTs. My SUTs include: Intact Audio (Dave Slagle) 1:20CU, Hashimoto HM-7 and a one-off Peerless 4859 from a former Altec engineer.
Enjoy your tunes on such wonderful TTs!

Awesome!
Nice, though I have to wonder how the tonearm wires affect tracking because they have to drag along with the movement of the arm. That a Nagaoka cartridge?

The wires as well as the carriage air tubing are so light and flexible. It is certainly a question, yet one of those things in actuality doesn’t seem to bother things at all. The arm carriage is so light and moves so easily, very very little friction there.
It is a Nagaoka MP 110 cartridge. I have used several other more expensive cartridges, Dynavector, Sumiko, Van den Hul. Right now the Nag stays put, as vinyl is not used all that much these days. I just do not have the room for vinyl collection since I moved to a much smaller home last year. I have sold off a lot of my vinyl, and am even considering moving the Holbo on to someone that will get more use out of it, sadly! It is a fantastic table.

It's been retired.
Almost bought one , but the plinth was rough. I had a QL-10 I wish I hadn't sold.
Miters at the corners have small gaps but not bad. I would like to get a custom plinth for it at some point. The TT-71 drive unit is well regarded as is the UA-5045 tonearm.
