Are you ready to buy your last turntable? 

Since I have kidney disease and a eleven year old donor kidney, I do believe the VPI Super Prime Scout I purchased last week from Upscale Audio will be my last.

I am 15 and got into vinyl almost a year ago. I purchased an AT-LP60 and AudioEngine A2+'s, which so far has served me great for my needs. I eventually got a small tube amp and Sennheiser HD 58X's, and i love it all. As i get older and acquire more funds to spend, I will definitely continue my audio exploration, but for now I am trying to get as well versed and experienced as i can so i can become a better buyer for the future.

My vintage SOTA Sapphire turntable that I bought years and years ago is still going strong and sounds fantastic. I am about to buy a Rega P3 for a different system in my house and glad to hear that you recommend it!

I bought my last turntable in 1998, a Linn Axis I bought from my neighbor used. Upgraded the cartridge recently to a Nagaoka MP-110. I have been extremely happy with it over the years as I moved around the world. Good luck Saturday! See you at Audiofest!

Love my Pro-Ject Classic. Remimnds me of my old AR manual table from the ‘70’s. Will be my last as I’m in my 70’s too🙃

I bought my last turntable years ago. In the 80's I purchased a set of Technics SL-1200's and in the early 2000's I purchased a pair of SL-1210's. They are all still working fine and probably will forever.

Thanks' for your great series Steve! For me my last turntable was unplanned as such. I bought my existing one back in 1983/4. It's a Micro Seiki RX1500 with an external base for the motor block. A cast iron tank like construction. I've had a few arms on it underways - among others a uni pivot Formula IV and now a Rega RB300. Last upgrade was a Tenuto Gun Metal Platter Mat from Puresound in the UK. Not planning to change!

Is such a nice thing to hear this guy sharing his knowledge!! Thanks for doing this kind of videos...

I got a TD166 MKII about three years from Vinyl Nirvana to replace a TD160 I stupidly sold in the 80's and it is super nice. Custom plinth is beautiful. I ordered a Jelco arm and adapter plate from them and added it myself. Super helpful company and Dave walked me through the arm upgrade and some springs I upgraded. I have other tables, but this one is front and center of my system.

Hi, I'm happy with my old Kenwood KD 650. Nice arm and great sound with a Denon DL110. Have a lovely and sunny day!😎

I still have two Technics SL-1210mk2 turntables that I bought 22 years ago when I was into DJing. Both have been serviced by myself and are now set up for listening. One has an Ortofon Concorde cartridge with a Stylus-10 on it, the other is running an Audio Technica AT-VM95E. I still love them and they sound great, so well made too. I recently got an AT-LP5 for my living room setup - it's ok I guess but really doesn't even come close to the Technics - I will keep those forever!

I’ve just brought myself a 1980 Rega planar 3 which after about 12 hours of use I am loving already. When paired with my castle speakers I cannot ask for anything more!!

Hello Steve been following you and enjoy your most informative coverage of audio electronics. Now its 2021 and I have decided to go back and try listening to that warm sounding vinyl analog which I always appreciated. So on order from Canada I have a Fluance RT-85 and I'm very excited..

I still have the same turntable I purchased 42 years ago. It’s a Thorens TD125 equipped with a Stax arm and would utilize either Empire 2000Z or MA282e cartridges, they sound pretty good to me. No big deal here, but, this was and is my forever turntable setup

I already have my last turntables a Rega and a SOTA, both over 35 years old, and both in occasional use.

I have had my Sota Star Sapphire iii since 1990 and it runs great . Many years back a friend had a Thorens Prestige and that was a real beauty .

I bought my last turntable for nearly 20 years ago. After many thoughts and anxiety I did go for a Simon York S7 including his arm. I did chose that turntable because I get so much confidence in Simons design after talking with him and reading reviews! I did bought it new directly from him. I just love the S7 even after 20 years!

I had a Technics p mount back in the 70's. I returned to LP's this year and got a used 1/2 inch S- shaped tonearm Technics direct drive. One day I may spend the big bucks. Your videos are great man.

Hi Steve, I loved my old Denon DP55k with a Grace 707 arm. I recently purchase from the UK an old 1973 Goldring Lenco GL 75 as a retirement project and possibly last turntable. I have replaced the bearing, and pad - fitted a bearing brace to give more rigidity, I’ve replace the original arm with a Syrinx PU-3 arm an fitted my Nakamichi MC 1000 reference cartridges that I had re-tipped by the Garrott Brothers with a Shibata styli. I’ve also rewired it with a shielded power cable. This rig sounds amazing and I couldn’t be happier. There is also lots of info and support out there on Lenco Heaven. I have the bug all over again at 61. Thanks for your entertaining and informative RU-vid videos, just love them.

I have had my Denon DP-52 since new and am still happy with it.

I bought the Music Hall MMF 7 fourteen years ago. Still sounds great. Added a Ortfon Black and know it's definitely staying. I also have a minty Thorens TD 160. Love it to

Purchased my last turntable back in 1999. The Michell Orbe, upgraded to DC power supply in 2017. Equipped with the classic SME Series V arm and in February upgraded the cartridge to a Van Den Hul Frog Gold. But to get the best out of this combination, I purchased the Rega Aura phono preamp. The sound just stuns!

I just bought my first turntable: A Clearaudio Emotion SE. With concept arm and MM.

I've been listening to vinyl since i was 3.5 years old in 1951 in the Bronx. My parents bought me a children's record player along with some Bach and Vivaldi. No kidding! I loved it. Got my last turntable back in the 1990s when i got my Linn LP-12. Currently Dynavector 10x5 cart but will soon be upgrading to top of the line XV-1s. In heaven with Vinyl sound. Nothing is more real that touches your soul.

I have used many turntables over my 50+ years, and finally just purchased the Mofi Ultradeck with Nagaoka MP 150 cartridge and Moon Simaudio 110LP preamp. Could not be happier. I don't have any plans on changing any time soon. CHEERZ!

My dream turntable is the Kenwood L-07D. I’m very fortunate enough to have a friend who recently bought me one as a gift, and it’s being restored right now. I’m hyped! If you haven’t seen an L-07D before, read up on them!

I did buy my last turntable, and (yes, purchaser bias) I also highly recommend ClearAudio. The Concept is a VERY good bang-for-the-buck, but I went a bit upmarket, and went with the Performance DC (wood). It's easy to swap out the arm and cart, so it's a lovely base from which to build.

Bought my dream TT a few months ago, The Marantz TT-15S1, with Clearaudio concept. Amazing TT & build quality, well worth the money!

I have a Harman Kardon T60 which I bought from an old friend whom took very good care of it. I enjoy it and recently purchased two cartridges for it to perform an A/B test. I wouldn't necessarily say it's my last turntable however, I'm not looking for another turntable. Great video Steve!

Most likely I have bought my last turntable. I had a Thornes TD 146 for over 30 years and recently bought an E.A.T. C Sharp. I am very pleased with the table. Well made and with their Linear Power supply and Phono preamp the sound is rather special.

I bought my last turntable back in 1990 and even then it was approximately 20 years old and after having had it recently serviced I love it as much today as I did back them - a Dual 701.

There will NEVER be the last of anything if you are an audiophile hi fi enthusiast. The Hi Fi bug will always find a away to persuade you in. For that is the whole idea of the hobby (any hobby) in the first place.

I have bought my last turntable..it is the rega p8 with the apheta 2 cartridge..I love it

Hi Steve i have a Technics SLB1 turntable with a shure M97 Xe for the last 40 years. I decided to upgrade in 2021 so i got a REGA planer 3 with a Nagaoka MP-150H the sound of the REGA is WOW i'm rediscovering the sound of my vinyl collection

Michell Orbe SE, bought in the late 90s, still have a Synchro and my dad's Focus S. All with RB300 arms.

My last (hopefully) turntable. Clearaudio Concept. It came with Concept arm and mm cartridge. The things that sold me on it were: 1. Very low noise floor (testers referred to it as a black background). I think this is due to a combination of good heavy and inert platter construction, belt drive and magnetic bearing tone arm. 2. Good speed control with feedback controlled DC motor and three speed settings (I like to play both LP’s and 45’s so easy to switch speeds). 3. Looks. It has a good no-nonsense look to it. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like automatic gueuing auto shutoff or any of that nonsense. The only downsides I can think of are 1. Doesn’t come with dust cover (expensive extra if you want it). 2. Can be sensitive to foot falls. 3. A little more expensive than The basic Rega or Project offerings but, I think, worth the extra. I might upgrade to mc cartridge down the road but for now happy with the Clearaudio mm it came with.

I've bought 3 vintage turntables from Goodwill and refurbished all 3. I still have 2 of them: Pioneer PL-7 and a Technics LS-Q2. My main turntable is a Rega Planar 2 that I digitize my LP collection with. I've actually been contacted by someone who is going to ship me his vintage turntable to do a few mods on as an upgrade. Buying and refurbishing old turntables is a lot of fun that I really enjoy. I'm saving up to eventually buy the new Schiit Sol turntable.

Just got a used VPI Aries Scout love it great table !

Great theme Steve. After being away from vinyl for close to three decades. I've gotten back into it. Starting in 2015 with my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB and now my last TT the Rega P8 with Apheta 2 cartridge. I'm also looking forward to your follow up review of the Klipsch Cornwall IV as that is a possibility to my last speaker.

The fluance rt85 is a great solid good sounding performer.

Bought my last turntable in high school back in 1979 when my first turntable, a Dual CS604/Empire cart was stolen. My Technics SL1700mkll has my turntable ever since. Rock solid, sounds great and beautiful, in my opinion. I did finally change my cart from a Stanton 681eee-s to a Nagaoka MP110. Love the combo.

As i am a music enthousiast on a budget, i had the luck to buy a near mint Thorens Td145 mk1. Only a few light scratches on the dustcover. Replaced this with a new one. Now it looks absolutely beautiful and it sounds decent to with a new atvm cart ready for an upgrade.

Steve -- You actually had a picture of my "last" turntable, which I unfortunately lost in a house fire, along with my records and other stuff, back in 1995. My turntable was a Thorens TD125, which I modified for 78 rpm, with an SME 3009 tone arm. I loved that record player! Today, I'm retired -- at 76, I damn well should be -- and am just getting back into stereo. Currently running an Audio-Technica AT LP1240USB, with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. My old Thorens/SME sported Shure V15-II and V15-III, over the 20 years I owned it. My current speakers are Klipsch RP600Ms, as you recommended. Love my setup and love your channel!

I have two vintage turntables I plan on keeping. One is a refurbished 1966 Garrard Lab 80 mkI transition, and the other a new-in-the-box Rek-O-Kut Rondine B-12. I wouldn't mind stumbling onto a Dual 1229. I'm staying with classic idler wheel vintage turntables. Love them!

Well, I've had my Linn LP12 since 1982 and still love it as much as the day I bought it ;-) I had a ~Thorens TD160 before it and a Technics before that. I've always quite fancied the idea of getting an Oracle Delphi one day to build a completely contrasting second system to my classic Linn/Naim setup in another room when I can afford to.

I am rebuilding my HiFi system after about a 35 year lapse in having a system. I chose the Fluance RT84 turntable with the Ortofon Red cartridge. I have also purchased the Schiit phono preamp after trying a couple of other ones (including the Fluance preamp). My speakers are Martin Logan Motion 2's with the Martin Logan Dynamo 700 subwoofer which I purchased used at a benefit sale for $300 for the whole system. I am powering the Motion 2's with a NAD 3140 integrated amp that I bought from Ebay for $175. The amp needs some TLC after 30 years or so of service and some new caps, but I really like how it performs as it is now. I also bought the Denon DCD-570 Single Disc CD Compact Disc Player from Ebay as well for $49. I like it as well.

Hi Steve, I saw the video when it came out, I had just purchased my used Goldring Lenco GL75 idler drive on EBay from the UK as my last turntable. It arrived safely and well packed to my home in Maroubra/Sydney Australia via FedEx. The intention was to modify it to improve the performance to a greater level which I have achieved. I have mounted on my Lenco, dual platters. I’m using my favourite Nakamichi MC 1000 Reference cartridge that was previously mounted on a Grace 707 arm on a Denon DP55K direct drive turntable. The difference of the Nakamichi on the Lenco and Syrix PU-3 combination is night and day. I cannot believe how good this turntable is. I haven’t heard a turntable that I could afford that comes close to what I have. Keep up the good work and keep safe.

Already bought it. Rega P6 Ania with Soundsmith ruby cantilever/stylus. Anything more starts to encroach upon the value of diminished returns.

I have hopefully bought my last turntable, a Rega Planar 8. I upgraded from a project essential 2. Mind was blown. I genuinely don’t think my ears will be able appreciate anything more. Feel very privileged to have it.

I loved my vinyl for years and ended up owning a great turntable the Townsend Elite Rock with Excalibur tonearm and Koetsu Red cartridge. I rarely got to use it for about 20 years but was delighted to find everything still working perfectly on my retirement from full time employment. It still sounds better than anything else, though I've really gotten into the convenience of streaming recently, buying an all in one streamer/amp/tuner, the Gold Note DS1000. On this digital sounds so much better than it did 20/30 years ago. Decent hi-fi equipment is an investment that pays dividends for many years.

Steve I love your channel. I'm getting back it for the first time in 6years. I gave my stuff away... But now..... I'm itching for an avid ingenuim to start

Hi Steve got my Reloop RP 7000 Mk2 absolutely love it.a real heavy lump won't change it just a new cartridge 😀 connected to a Denon PMA 600 ne amp and Warfedale Evo 44s.i haven't looked back👍😊

I've already bought mine and it's a Rega RP1 with new cables, new arm wiring, new clips, acrylic platter, and counter weight that has the weight below the center line of the arm, stainless sub-platter, and an LP Gear belt. Lastly I have an Audio Technica AT-150MLX cartridge that is not even made today. Believe it of not I use the Schiit Preamp after using previous models from Cambridge Audio, Musical Fidelity, and Vincent.

I am getting into vinyl. I ordered today a Fluance RT81 turntable as my 1st turntable. I am excited to incorporate this into my modest budget system which is a mix of new and vintage. But, I am very pleased so far. This is a new adventure with vinyl and I hope it sounds as good as the reviews I have researched.

For solid workmanship and reliability you can't go wrong with Clearaudio.😍

Bought my last turntable in 1999.. A Michell Orbe with the SME Series V tone arm and recently upgraded the motor & power supply to the new D.C. format. Have also upgraded the cartridge to a Van Den Hul Frog Gold, phono preamp is the Rega Aura... Vinyl Heaven!

Yes Steve I can agree with you to a point about buying vintage turntables on CL and ebay. But for me that's the fun of it.....getting a TOLT model from years past that may be tired and warn....then resurrecting it to almost new condition ! If your handy with little technical knowledge then its a great way to get a good time great sounding vinyl set up without too much invested ! For me little did I know at the time I had purchased my lifetime turntable back in 1985. It's a Denon DP-62L and eventhough it's gone thru many cartridge changes and used in many different systems it's still my main work horse today! After all these years I finally found the perfect match for it as far as system synergy goes....using it with a Denon DL-103R cart. plugged into a vintage 80s Denon PMA-757 amp driving Wharfdale Denton speakers! They all seem to be made for each other. Steve you should pick one of these amps up, their cheap and will make you wonder while people pay multi thousands of dollars for amps!

Looking at getting my next turntable. Eyes on the Feikert Volare!

Always wanted a Techniques Mark series but after watching a hundred reviews I opted for a Pioneer PLX-1000 with a Nagoaka MP110 stylus. Have a Schiit Mani 2 on order and even with the Pyle cheap O preamp it sounds amazing over my Fluance RT81.

I just did...AMG Viella Turbo 12 with HRS platform! Redefines my collection of 12,000 LPs and purchased new... also, I have two arms on the table one is a 309 for 78s.

I have had quite a few TT's in the past but mostly likely just keep my current Denon DP-60L.I know there are all kinds of better tables but I like the way it looks and it plays just fine for me with the Ortofon 2M blue.

I love the VPI 40th Anniversary table, but can't quite convince myself to pay that much. It would definitely be my last.

I bought a Rega Rp1 ten years ago. Except for a slightly wobbly platter it is a very solid performer. Might stay with them when I eventually upgrade. The 10 seems niiiiice....

Currently have the Luxman PD-171, it is a great turntable. Made in Japan, beautiful finish. But if I have to pick a final turntable, it will be either the clearaudio Innovation or the TechDAS Airforce. But I do have a passion for vintaged Japanese turntables. A YAMAHA GT-2000 or Micro RX-5000 will definitely be my “ final turntable” for a while.

I got a 1968 Garrard 401 from a former BBC engineer through a forum earlier this year. I picked it up in person & paid when I heard it running. It was his from new & was very well looked after. I took it to a local Garrard specialist, had it serviced , new cartridge & a new plinth. It looks & sounds fantastic. I went from a Rega Plannar 3 & couldn't be happier., can't see me changing.

I bought an AR-XA turntable around 1980. I don't remember how long I kept it. It had a very heavy platter and you had to change speeds by manually moving the rubber belt drive. You had to put the needle on & take it off manually as well. I believe it was less than $100 & got quite good ratings cuz it was bulletproof & very stable.

Ain't ready to buy it yet, but I would love to have a Gold Note Pianosa turntable. So many other things always come first, but one of these days...hey, Steve, maybe you could get your hands on one of those to review! Maybe?

I bought my last turntable, a Sansui SR-2050E turntable with a Shure 91ED cartridge, over 40 years ago. With proper maintenance, changing the belt and stylus and a bit of lubrication, I expect it to provide listening pleasure for many more years.

Thanks, Steve. You helped me make my decision to buy a Rega Planar 3. My one and only local audio store was sold out but had two on order he was expecting in about a week. The Planar 2 he had in the store was so amazingly good, the decision to go with the Planar 3 for a few hundred dollars more was a no-brainer. I put down my $400 deposit and am good to go. The turntable comes with the Elys cartridge. I have read mixed things about Rega cartridges but they are made to be a good match for Rega turntables and arms. I have a Rega Elex-R integrated amp and also understand that their cartridges are made to be a good match sonically and electrically for the phone pre-amp inside their amplifiers. (I do not use an outboard phone stage.) So, this should be an unbeatable combination. Will it be my last turntable? Only time will tell.

After a very long decision-process with a lot of research I ordered today a Techniks SL 1500c with a Ortofon-2M-black cartridge. It was a hard decision between the techniks and the Rega Planar 6. it does sooo good to listen to a recommandation of such an expert like you mentioning the SL1500c!. I am not sure if this is the last turntable I will buy. Maybe. But after starting again in vinyl after over 30 years now (I had several DUAL-TTs back then and I was so damn sure about their greatness ;) i guess the techniks today is the most solid choice.

I had a Thorens 160 with a Rega RB300 Arm for over 30 years. Always dreamed of owning a Linn LP12, they still sell for good money. A few months back I found a nice old Oracle Alexandria that needed some love. Had the suspension reworked and installed a new old stock SME Series 3 arm on it. This old girl sings and is certainly my last turntable. 😎

I purchased my last turntable, a VPI scout with ortophon Black cartridge sounds fantastic. I play it thru a McIntosh preamp and Cornwall III's

My last turntable is a Technics SL-1210GAE with a Dynavector Karat 17d3 at a Magnesium Headshell. It's fantastic!

I bought a Dual 1229 in 1972 and used it a lot for the next 10-15 years and then, when vinyl kind of went out of fashion, and I was busy with career and raising children, it sat for about 30 years. I recently moved and before I packed everything, I had a shop go through it to get it operating okay. Long story to short, when I set up at my new house and starting to get into my old vinyl collection, the operations is not all that it should be in automatic mode. However, the sound from the unit when used in manual mode is still delicious!

Always wanted a Rega Planar 3. FLUANCE has caught my eye as of late.

Very happy camper with my lp12 for 20+ years now. In the unlikely event of having that much money to throw around, I would likely go for an origin live turntable

I have had a Audio Note TT1 for ten years, I bought a new cartridge Nagaoka MP200 and I'm happy with that, so far...

This is a particularly timely video for me. I just ordered a new Linn LP 12 turntable with several upgrades (Lingo PS, trampoline and subchassis). I notice my turntable did not make your list, but I feel really good about it. I auditioned it and had a great emotional response to the table. Plus I like a turntable that looks like a turntable. looking forward to getting my new turntable in the next week or two.

Hi I have a Revox b 790 got it new salesmen accommodation with a Ortafon MC 30 cartage I ran clinics where I ran specks say all sorts of very expensive tables nothing came close still. Works perfectly, I’m happy

Hi Steve, I am a 53 years old and have been an Electronics audio tech for most of my life. I have a Dual 604 electronic direct drive Turntable which originally came with a Pickering cartridge on it that I have owned since I was 12 years old. I of course keep it in tip top shape and it has never let me down. I have never felt that I needed to upgrade but recently installed new Ortofon 2M blue on it which was definitely a step up from the Pickering. I have always liked Thorens but just haven't felt the need to buy one as my old Dual plays cleanly and seems to track well at 1.8 grams with no noise. Cheers and thanks for listening.

I've been with vinyl for at least 35 years. I renovate a lot over the years. I already have my last turntables Thorens TD150, TD 125mk1, Lenco L75 modded and Revox B 790 mostly because it's cool. I am the one who asks for help when something goes wrong with turntables. And of course you can buy used turntables but then you have to be able to repair them if you can not, you have to buy new it is much easier then.

Bought an Audiomeca Romance about 15 years ago. Replaced the belt once. Beautiful artistic piece that has received almost no reviews and was way ahead of its time. Dynavector xx-1. Won’t ever need anything else. I hope.

Unexpectedly got it third hand last year, it's André Thériault's Phono4, a single made that he entirely designed and built over 20 years ago and the turntable that i learned what real hi-end audio meant back then. A dream come true. He's also the guy who designed and builds Black Beauty and Helena carbon fiber unipivot tonearms that come with Kronos Pro and Kronos Sparta turntables.

I like the Technics 1200G and Transrotor. The big Clearaudio's are, of course, true dream tables.

I've had a MoFi Ultradeck for the past 2 years and it's my endgame turntable.

I had a VPI HW-19 MKIV for over 25 years. I upgraded it over the years with a heavier platter and silicone nitride ball bearing and eventually went with a 10 inch Graham Phantom tonearm. I kept the tonearm and sold the rest to help offset the cost of my final turntable ... a Technics SP-10R on an Artisan Fidelity plinth. The armwand was sold to get a 12" wand. The sound is stunning. I'm currently using a SoundSmith Sussurro cartridge.

I don’t know Steve. I have an AR Legend turntable I bought in the early 80’s. Works for me! I don’t hear anyone talk about the AR turntable anymore. ‘Used to be considered somewhat of a classic. Cheers.

My project debut carbon with ortofon blue will be what I stay with for a long time I think, it sounds excellent for the money, a true sweet spot in price to performance

Have a direct drive Technics SL1200mk3 in Silver. And yes just recently purchased a VPI white Prime Super Scout belt drive turntable, likely my last turntable, or turntables as I'm still enjoying the technics. I'm really buying new albums now.

SME 15,IV,Cadenza Black was my endgame TT.

I bought a used Clearaudio performance DC with a verify tone arm from a local dealer. It had an ortofon cadenza red that I used for about a year before upgrading to the cadenza black when they had a sale and took the red as a trade in. The sound is blowing my mind every time I listen. Is it my last TT? I can't say for sure but I certainly have no urge to change it anytime soon. This is a very highly recommended combo for sure. Your advice to buy from a reputable dealer is key. My experience doing just that couldn't have been better.

I'm specialized in turntables myself. By using them many years now. And I bought 2 of my 4 turntables used on ebay. One was a Rega Planar 2 without tonearm, so very cheap. The other is probably my last turntable: A Planar 8 with the Planar 10's tonearm mounted. I think the risk of getting a damaged product is not bigger with turntables than anything else on ebay.

I went a little nuts recently. Finally found a replacement for my slightly broken (tonearm rest) Victor QL-Y77F so now I have two. I do want to get my original 77F (purchased from a friend in 1988ish) restored. In the meantime, I bought a QL-A95 that could probably use a clean, rebuild and veneer change but it works. The day after I bought the A95, I found a PL-505 restored by CaptMark and couldn't pass it up. I think I'm done buying turntables.

Acoustic solid small r . Hand made in Germany, these turntables sound awesome

I am pretty confident, for my needs, that my Xtension 10 with some upgraded wiring and a Sumiko Blackbird will be my turntable setup for life. It’s a meaty affair, which I like, and I’m pleased with it.

I hope I'm on my final turntable. I started with a Pioneer PL-530 but sold that to a collector and bought a Rega RP3 that I enjoyed for a while before passing on to my son when I purchased a used Roksan Radius 5 which I have been really enjoying and feel like I can stop with it. I did buy the Roksan used on Ebay and the arm needed rebuilt. However Roksan still supports it and provided the broken part at a reasonable price.

I've got a Thorens Td124 mkII which i'm slowly restoring myself. I'm putting a few hundred on spare parts and keeping it till I turn to dust.

Two years ago, after buying on Amazon an Akai who turns to fast, I return it and I set my choice on a MoFI Ultradeck and I am very happy

Finally bought a new turntable to replace my mint vintage Pioneer Pl-518 (I'll be keeping this one though). My new one is the Fluance RT-85 with the Nagaoka Mp-110 cartridge. I know most "Audiophiles" would turn up their nose to this consumer grade combo, but I'm pleased as punch and it sounds awesome to my nearly 70 year old ears!

I have two Pioneers, PLL1000 PLL1000A. Both bought second hand for $200 Australian and one with a stanton 881s cartridge. Both had the same issue which was the arm motor belt and I repaired both for under $10.00. Both running rock solid. These are my last and my favourites. Linear Trackers, no other way!.
