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

Am I safe to assume that you track the cart hours with the counters? Smart, I'll have to do that.....
Picked up a set of 8 counters each a different color on Amazon. Have a few other cartridges and their counters just get stored with them while they are on the sidelines. I count sides and then calculate hours based on an average of 20 minutes. Works about right with the shorter 45rpm sides mixed in…

My new turntable arrived just before christmas and is now in the setup process. TW Acustic Raven LS with the new finnish on the Black Night platter.

Will eventually be fitted with three tonearms.

SME 3012-R -> VdH Grand Cru Elite
FR64s -> DaVa Fc-A1
Reed 2B -> DaVa mono
 
it´s a dream to have several arms, carts and SUTs:
today I´ve only played on my NOS Kiseki Purpleheart in IKEDA/B60 with pure silver Litz armcable......SUT to riaa cable started out with Linn Silver and ended up with DIY Duelund 0,4mm silver in oil and cotton with copper braid and loose PTFE shrink hose...perfect balance with the fullbodied PH

Could you tell us about the TD 124, @arthurs?
 
How does the modestly priced Technics compare to your other expensive table with the three arms?
It is actually doing very very well, and is matching the three armed deck with brave.

With the modified extra counterweight, and in general a higher mass tonearm… and with the outher hold down ring and the center limited edition record clamp, it makes up for a very good companion to the bigger heavier turntable.

Hi Leif,

Sounds exotic and like fun time in Norway today. I would very much like you (if you would be so kind) to describe the sound you get from the combo you just described… That would be cool !

Kindest regards
