It has amazed me how many people on this forum have picked up a TT lately. So many people, It's hard to keep track of who's running analog anymore.

How 'bout a simple yes or no? You got a TT in your rig?

Me? Yes.

Yes, courtesy of Polkie "jm1". A very much appreciated gift. I've gone from 5 albums to 100+ now that I have something to play them on.

I am keeping my eyes open for another more vintage piece for another setup.

I have about 9 right now but 7 or 8 will find new homes or be part units. Mainly older vintage TT's that are in good to average shape. Let's see...I have 2) Pioneers, 2) Technics, 1) Marantz, 1) Lenco, 1) JVC, 1) AR XB, and a Calibre (old Pacific Coast Stereo brand). I think that's it. Yeah, too many but mos I picked up for $10 or less and some had cartridges worth 10X what I paid for the TT!

Like I said...a bunch are going away and I'm ordering the NAD C555 (Rega P2 basically) for the mail rig and a Pioneer will stay in my office setup. I do love me some vinyl.

Erik Tracy
01-09-2008, 03:57 PM
Yup. Still have my turntable.

One of the reasons I chose the Yamaha RX-V1800 AVR is that it had phono inputs.

Nice 'feature' to keep - as I still spin some vintage vinyl now and then!

Guess I never added my system to the count. Not sure what's going to happen to the TT since I'm selling off my dedicated 2-ch. I'm NOT getting rid of my VPI or any of my vinyl though! Too hard to replace them.

I had one but I haven't seen it in some time. Don't know if someone in the family "borrowed" it or if it is in the basement. Same goes for the small collection of vinyl I had. If it is in the basement it ain't being stored properly.

Doesn't really matter.

Neither of my preamps have a phono stage.

The weight is from Harmonic Resolution Systems. They come black anodized. I polished the top to for personal esthetics. It also sets off the HRS logo nicely. The darker left edge of the weight is the reflection of the mirror frame on the wall above the table.
