What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

Oh, Bergmann. I love this beauties.

The Bergmann turntables are very popular in our community. A clear, unmistakable line. The sound qualities: Very musical, involving and without technical airs and graces.

Here is a member from Norway who has also decided in favour of the AS Phonolab.

A Linn LP12 is quite rightly an icon of turntable design. I often think of a Porsche 911, whose original basic form has been guarded by its designers through all the decades and at the same time transformed into the future in a modern way.

The history of the Linn LP12 has strong parallels.
It is not easy to find a suitable phono amplifier that also has these ideals.
Under the Linn, the AS Phonolab PRO from www.audiospecials.de takes up the classic form. And at the same time scores with its sophisticated technology.

BTW.;)
It can also serve two LP12s if future expansion requirements should arise.
It's nice to see someone else also enjoys the LP12 :) Here's a pic of mine with the Naim ARO tonearm and Benz Ruby Zebrawood cartridge...

Hi all,
I’m relatively new to this forum, and I have been enjoying reading lots of the analogue threads over the past few weeks.
I’ve finally got my setup at home sorted after moving at the beginning of the year.
I have a Kuzma Stabi-R with a 4P (Lyra Etna Lambda) and 4P11 (Koetsu Wajima), SME 20/3 with Series V arm (Hans Umami), and in our family room we have a PTP with a Glanz MH-94S with a Sculpture A cartridge.
My main system is currently running with a Zanden phonostage but planning audition a Allnic V7000, CS-Port and Phasemation EA-1200 over the next 12 months or so.

After well ova a decade with my beloved TW Acustik AC-3, it has been passed along to a fellow music lover and I am sure it will provide many more decades of sweet music. I am sure I will miss it, so time for reflection.

It has given me a chance to move the SP10mk3 to the right, which gives me a little more room for tonearm manoeuvrability at the back of the table. Also I can move my Linn LP12 into the front row main team. I will now be able to have all 4 tonearms connected to my Accuphase phono.

You own all players shown before?
Looks like a showroom for antique players and gear. Congratulations!

Before you start listening to your music, you are not desperate which combi to choose? ;)
Yes, in total I own over 20 turntables of quite similar quality level but some are stored and some are used. Which one are used and which ones are stored changes from time to time. So there's no reason to despair in selection, because I enjoy them all. Thanks.

P.S.: Thank god nobody was asking about tonearms, cartridges or phono stages :cool:
