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

This is a Michell Orbe SE with a Gert Pedersen (pedersensgyro.dk) upgrade kit installed and a Eminent Tecnology ET 2.0 arm. On a wall mount and Gingko Cloud 11.
Same thing here, I like my P8 with the Ania Pro.
Very simple to ajust and use. No gimmick.

On the left is a Basis 2800 with Vector 4 Tone Arm. Accompanied by the microthin belt, vacuum clamping, and Synchrowave power supply with Hana Umami Red bringing it home. On the right a 45 year old fully automatic Elac Miracord for playing my collection of 78's or poor quality albums. Cartridge is a Shure M7xE.
Heifetz was my introduction to the Sibelius VC -- he is a/the master here and in many other performances. It is from his that I was led to discover other magical recordings of this work. Oistrakh with Ormandy and Rozhdestvensky, Ricci, Accardo. I keep coming back to this one:
Ida Haendel with Berglund and the Bournemouth
EMI ASD 3199
I'll do a proper comparison when the Neveu record appears, so far my top 3 ;-) is
1; Wicks
2; Ferras
2; Oistrakh
3: Heifetz
The comparison is skewed because I do not have all on mono vinyl...and digitized older recordings are typically murdered in AD conversion (that is why I wanted mono vinyl in the first place).
The difference between Oistrakh and Ferras to me is small, the Oistrakh recording is better, Ferras 'Gypsy' intonation works more for me than Oistrakh's more distant approach, all very personal IMHO...
the emotion in Wicks performance and the atmosphere is Scandinavia is captured so well on that record...the clarity of the vinyl is exceptional...easily the best record in my humble collection.
edit: the difference between all on Quobuz streaming is FAR smaller than from mono vinyl, streaming it all sounds dull in comparison to especially the Wicks (Capitol likely a 2nd release -it's the B side, not even the Metronome version).
I never imagined saying that analog is more dynamic than digital

I agree. Is this with Susskind ? Her arpeggios are more like glissandos -- too dreamy -- whereas Heifetz plays the notes ... every one of them.
Yes, original. He has also got the suspense and drama of the first movement better
Folks
I have a commonwealth idler and a Kronos Sparta with RS kronoscope tonearm. Have to downsize room and sell the Kronos - asking $15k for table and arm. The arm alone retails for $15k.

love this set up:
- Platine Verdier turntable
- SME 3012R Tonearm
- OMA Headshell
- X-Quisite ST Cartridge

One of those arms has got to go! You’ll have some trouble finding room for #5.
Have this one on watch as a potential 10” er to partner a Murasakino Sumile Stereo and Sumile mono … that said I am hypothesising that A.N timber body cartridge might find a singular pleasing synergy with the ceramic Korf ?!?!
on my Melco I can unscrew the armtower with arm on and mount another preadjusted tower incl arm and cart
when I ordered this custom plinth, I had made 6 armtowers......
In about a week and a half will bring 40 years of ownership of my LP12.
I went from an CD early adopter to selling all my CD's a few months after hearing/buying my LP12 in March 1985.
The LP12 single handedly fueled my desire to spend all my meagre pay checks on vinyl by going to the city every Thursday night after work.. I remember visiting Phantom, Red Eye, Waterfront, Zoom, Metropolis, Chelsea's, Virgin, HMV, The Strand, Utopia to name a few.
7000 albums and 40 years later, here we are.
The LP12, Cirkus, Lingo, Naim ARO and Dynavector XV-1S still sounds superb.
