Wow please tell us more about your turntables in your system I think you even beat Beobloke for the amount of turntables

[The Grand Wazoo]

Oh my word. Welcome Juhani - you're our boy!
I can see from a few of the record sleeves that you have a fine taste in music too. As John says, it would be great to hear something about your collection of gear.
Cheers

Holy Moley! Impressive collection.

[Beechwoods]

Like they said! Wow... seriously impressive vinyl collection you have. Welcome to AOS Juhani!

Thanks, I am already very active in our local Hifiharrastajat-forum (http://www.hifiharrastajat.org/foorumi/forum.php) and been writing now and then to Lenco Heaven (http://www.lencoheaven.net/), so there are probably people here who are already familiar with my system. Anyway, the pictures I posted are not exactly up-to-date as I'm in the habit of changing things, especially turntables, in and out of the two systems I'm using. Only Garrard stays where it is as it's in Slatedeck plinth and hard to move without taking it apart. Almost up-to-date listings can be found here (http://cgi.audioasylum.com/cgi/mail.mpl?user_ID=29781) although I'm not active in Audio Asylum any more. Being an obsessive listmaker means that I have a list of all equipment on my homepage, here (http://www.aikakone.org/juhani/audio/laitteet.html) and almost complete listing of the record collection here (http://www.aikakone.org/juhani/audio/musiikki.html). As to the collection of turntables, there is one more that I want and can afford and it's Thorens TD-124, which I just bought from a friend who will deliver it next tuesday.

That's about it for now.

Welcome to AoS, Juhani. Like others have said, what an awesome collection of T/Ts AND vinyl!! :eek: :stalks:

Could we have a 'left to right' description, by row, of all the makes of turntables, arms (and/or cartridges) you've posted above? I only recognise about half of them! I'd appreciate you outlining the info here, rather than having to sift through your website homepage, which isn't in English :)

Enjoy the forum!

Marco.

OK, listing from the backrow, left:

Garrard 301 / Slatedeck / SME 3012 II / Denon DL-102
Dual 1019 / Shure M44MG
Technics SL1200 Mk.II / Pickering XV15/625E (currently with EMT 929 / EMT TSD 15 SFL)

On Lack-tables, from left:

Lenco L70 / Denon DL-103 (with double platter, upper one borrowed from GL75)
Luxor 4221 / Shure V15 III
Luxor HF-153 (no cartridge installed, arm is a shorter OEM version, 9 inches, of the Lenco L70 arm)

And on the floor, row by row, left to right:

Dual 1010F / Shure M75MB Type 2
Delphon G1 / DIY-plinth
Connoisseur BD2/A / Goldring 1012

Telefunken (originally my father's, not sure about the exact model)
Lenco GL-75
Delphon GS1

Garrard RC 75m (unused in original packing)
Braun (Dieter Rams designed but in very bad condition, forced on me by mother-in-law)

Tonearms:

Bang & Olufsen ST/P (12 incher, came originally with Garrard)
EMT 929 (currently in Technics but will probably move to Thorens when it arrives)
ESL Gyro/Balance S-1000 (intended for Delphon G-1)
Ortofon SK 212 (for Delphon GS-1)
Bang & Olufsen ST/L

Since this picture was taken I have added another SME 3012 (a local find) which I might use in the forthcoming Lenco GL75 project and, as mentioned, there is a TD-124 forthcoming soon.
