Top Ten Turntables of All Time??

The Oracle Alexandria certainly merits a nod. While not quite in the same league as thier Delphi it offers a very high level of performance. The one in my collection is the Mark I with Sumiko Premier FT3 tone arm with Dynavector 23R MC cartridge. For me this is as good as it gets,unless I decide to move up to the Oracle Delphi. This one was acquired off eBay about two years ago. Since then have installed the Mark II suspension upgrade, which is really worth the time and effort,made a large difference in sonics and performance. Well thought out design with way above average parts and build quality are the benchmarks of the Alexandria with stunning good looks as a bonus. Well worth seeking out,plus Oracle is still in business. So service is there should you need it. Never get tired of listening to this combination. Just stellar performance.

I remember Empire,AR and DUAL as being the most acclaimed in their time. They were made by the bigger mass market makers.

Then the personal pursuits of smaller Cos. came around. There is a big list.

I'd like to include the Mapleknoll Airiadne Signature to Albert Porter's list.

Kind regards,
Brian

elizabeth...The for sale Sony PSX800 turntable (which you thought was worth $100) was bid up to $315, but the seller's reserve price was not met. Does this make the PSX800 three times better?

No, it's 3.15 times better. :^0
What I wrote was only for the common enjoyment. It has no meaning besides the statistics in the Orion bluebook for 2002, and the bizarre bidding on E-bay, where every third item is an adventure into crazed bidder wars.
