What is it they say about the definition of madness? :ner:

Multiple redundancy - how's that thing go? 'Three is two, two is one, and one is none.'

Or something like that.

In my case, multiple lunacy :lol:

Well in the case of the three turntables, they are no longer made but are still sought after. A typical price is around three grand. I paid less than a tenth of that for mine. They allow me try out different arms and cartridges.

The fourth turntable has an integral arm and equalisation amplifier. Again it is no longer made, and again sought after by enthusiasts. Samples in good condition now go for around seven grand; I paid about a tenth of that for mine.

Both makes are professional items used in broadcast studios.

Looking at your profile you are obviously an EMT (nice TT's) fan but, if you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you get them all at 10% of value ? Asking for a friend, like.

I bought them a long time ago; between twenty and fifty years.
The EMT was a bit of a "bucket list" item, and in retrospect I probably wouldn't buy one now - but it was a snap decision.

All my equipment was bought on snap decisions. And my house. If there's another way to do it I don't want to know about it.

My late 80's / early 90's rig -

All of the components are pretty much minty, so I've been extremely lucky to find them.

I know it's a looong way from being optimally set up, but it sounds very good and, boy, does it boogie :dance: :dance:

Is that a bass trap next to your turntable? I saw a few of them for sale at Carpetright last week, but they were all 4 metres tall :)

Looks like a rolled up off-cut of a corridor carpet runner.
