That's an Aladdins cave that is!
I bet Marco is scratching his head wondering how someone could enjoy fruitbox and heavyweight DD running side by side, it hints at an interesting perspective on your viewpoint of hifi v music.
What speakers are you running Kcc?
You could say its a celebration of the turntable art ' isn't vinyl such a wonderful way to listen to music ' and to think at one time i nearly gave it up to my eternal shame.
I used to think those two decks were both called “The Legend” until one day I saw the back of the decks where it says AR “The Turntable”.Quote:

My SL150 is fitted with an AT1010arm which plays a major role to its overall sound. As a combination, it provides a very good performance comparable to or even better than one of its siblings, the SL1210s, if not the SP10s or SP15s. I think it is best to put it on a solid foundation for the benefit of a better sound. And in my case, it is sitting on a piece of slate which is also on top of my Spider shelf.
My SL150 does not have a gentle or soft sound because I like to use the Denon 103 on this deck as the AT1010 is a medium to high mass arm with a 16 grams effective mass ( plus an additional 4 grams by using a heavier Audio Technica AT-LT13a headshell), which is perfectly ideal for the 103 cartridge. The sound is lush with romance in the mid and very powerful in the bass, not bad at all.
It is a pair of DIY speakers built from a kit. I also have another pair of MF MC 2 speakers in storage.Quote:

Awesome stuff! I'd happily use any of it, except perhaps for the LP12 (although yours seems like a nice 'classic' one) ;)
It's just the kind of system I like to see, as it shows that you're not a slave to 'flavour of the month' equipment, are able to think outside of the box and get away from the usual run-of-the-mill mainstream nonsense! :)
Btw, what's your first name and where do you come from? We like to know a little about each other here :smoking:
Marco.
