do anyone still own a turntable

[jaama]

if so what the brand and how many years,did you own it.

[Cal Blacksmith]

Yes, there are lots of us who still listen to "records" The last two I have had are a B&O 1900, I have owned it for about 27 years and I have replaced it with a Regga Planar 3 which I have had for about 6 months.

I own a lot of them. Duals, Thorens, Elac, Garrard. I mostly just look at those, might hook one up and fiddle with it now and then. I use a Linn Sondek LP12 and a Pro-Ject 6 for regular listening. It's certainly not a conveient hobby but vinyl can sound very, very good if your records are clean and you tt is set up correctly. Still, you kind of have to have a passion for it as it take some more work than loading a disc.

I've found I'll listen more closely to Records since I know, in 15 to 25 minutes, I'm going to have to get up and flip or change it. With CD's being 40-50 minutes, I can sometime wind up concentrating on other tasks while listening.

I started listening to vinyl again about 5 years ago.

2 Audio-Technica

3 Shure

Properly set up with a great recording and an LP in great condition, it is almost as good as you can get the music. Multi-channel SACD sounds pretty darned spiffy for today's new recordings.

In the mid to late '80s had a Nakamichi cassette player and a Yamaha turntable drving a pair of Birch Hereseys. Had that for about 4 years then migrated to CDs. Two or so years ago ventured back into Vinyl and it's been a real ear-opener. I enjoy SACD, CDs and Vinyl. Don't listen to DVD-A though. I now own a VPI ScoutMaster turntable that I just recently purchased.

Greetings,

I currently use an ELAC ("Benjamin" branded) 'table with a Miracord arm and Ortophon cartridge. I originally purchased it to have the capability of playing 78's. I found, however, that it sounded so much better than my SOTA Comet / Sure V15 set-up that I use the ELAC for all my records - and ended up selling the SOTA/Sure.

Take care,

Scott

Thorens TD-125, Fairchild TT was my first ,,

[No Disc]

A bit of Turntable humor....

[Aggie Klipsch]

An old Thorens bought in 78 over in Germany. Sounds great with an Ortofon cartridge.

[jaama]

[BillH2121]

I am just getting back to vinyl on my own system most of my friends listen to vinyl and I got the bug again.

I have an entry level tt MMF2 with a grado reference cartridge.

Currently I am building a vibration control system for my rack and on the cheap as well. I am taking one think wood plank for the bottom and a thinner planl for the top with a small lip the same dimensions as my rack then I am going to place a dozen air bladders aka racquette balls between the slabs and hopefully this will be enough to minimize vibration and the cost will be under $100. I have wood floors in a house over 100 years old so the more vibration absorbtion I can add the better.

[76scalas]

Use a Thorens TD160 in my main system and a Yamaha YP-B4 in my second system.Use a bunch of different cartridges, this week my Sure M95ED is my favorite

[Travis In Austin]

I have a JA Michell Gyrodec with SME Tonearm and a Linn Axis.

[Jon Anderson]

Here is my latest. An Empire 698 w/ new Ortofon.

Have three others - Love vinyl

[MC275]

I've been using an MMF-5 for a year. Upgraded to Goldring 1042 cartridge. Very pleased with it. I find vinyl playback to be more responsive to amp/tube tweaks than my DVD/CD player.
