What is your dream turntable?


If you could only have one, what would that dream be?
Mine would be a Thorens TD 124. I am a nostalgic, sentimental, retro guy.

I would want to have a TD 124 package like this ...

Stanwal,

To much Turkey?

One of These........?

Maybe I am missing it but I didn't eat any Turkey so maybe I need to go eat some to figure out the TT you are speaking of. =8^)
I love them all. I have over a dozen 'tables but not one was megabucks. Sota Star Saphire III in rosewood, Sota Cosmos (original)in white Fountainhead, two Oracle Delphis (Mark one or two,who can tell the difference)? Luxman PD-300 belt drive vacuum table,Thorens TD-125, Fons CQ-30,Yamaha PX-3,LUXMAN PD-121,ERA 444 (French),Technics SL-1200 mk II,SL-1500, A Connisieur and various Duals and B+Os in various states of disrepair and despair.An original day one two motor AR. Sources include Audiogon here,Craigslist, and occasionally Ebay.

Tables that I have had and wish I still did:

Transcriptors Skeletal with Vestigal arm (I still have the arm, the worst part).

Michell Hydraulic Reference- my friend Bob still has this.

Micro Seiki RX- 1500 VG- vacuum but not air bearing,my friend Greg still has this.

Four different Linn LP 12s ranging from the base no better than an AR to the Valhalla/Cirkus/Ittok. Believe it or not I currently don't own one of these.

A working Bang and Olufsen 4004. I have one,but it is not working.

Tables that I would love to add to my collection :

Nottingham Spacedeck
Forsell
Nakamichi Dragon CT
VPI TNT/ TNT Junior
EMT broadcast table
Gale 401
Yet another LP-12.Not a crazy one,just a Valhalla. I don't hear much difference from one to the next (sorry,Ivor).
I watch craigslist every day for these!
(Don't laugh, I bought one of the Oracles and the Fons off the local Craigslist!)

Fun also to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. The PD-300 was shipped to me upside down! Finally found the PD-121 on Ebay for the dustcover (close enough) and it had a Stax UA-7 arm!You also get little included goodies like upgraded mats,Tiptoes,spare cartridges,record cleaners,extra belts,and parts from other tables/arms that don't even belong in there!This is a great hobby,I have been doing it for almost 40 years. Glad to see the rest of the world is coming back to my way of thinking (vinyl).
My Thorens TD 124 MKII restored by Schopper Switzerland with an OMA slate plinth with Schroeder Reference 12" tonearm / Jan Allaerts Formula One cartridge.
Sota Cosmos with a Graham Phantom OR I think doing up an old TD-124 would be very cool too. Now lets see... where did I put that winning Power Ball ticket?
