Wow,..............that's quite a collection!
Some folks on here don't even own that many records!!

Hi & welcome, by the way.

My goodness - I thought I was OTT having four turntables and eight tonearms!

I suppose the next question is what cartridges do you use? And, of course, what are your tastes in music?

Hehe!
Many people may think I am mad but I have seen some ones who own more turntables than I do. By the way, I have more than thirty cartridges and about nineteen tonearms.
The cartridges I am currently using are Entre EC-1, Denon 304, Denon 103/103R, AT 37E, AT OC9, AT33 ANV, JVC X1, Ortofon MC15 mk2 and Technics 205C mk3. I listen to all sorts of music including rock, folk, country, jazz and......

There's no way any of us are going to beat that! Thirty cartridges! - I think thats more than all the cartridges that have ever been through my hands/arms. May I ask why you have such a lot of vinyl replaying equipment, or is it simply that, like me, you find this aspect of music reproduction fascinating? Good to see that you enjoy a wide range of music.

There are many fans of the Denon 103, AT33 and AT OC9 in this forum. The Technics 205C III - now there's a 'sleeper' of a cartridge if ever there was one.

Hi Kcc,
Welcome. Nice bits of kit, to put it mildly !!
If you find youself running out of space for your TTs, please put my name at the top of the list for putting one on permanent exhibition in my lounge/listening room.It will be extremely well looked after as only friends and family will be permitted to see or hear it. Temporary loan only, of course

Hi Barry,
When I was a lot younger, I kept buying and upgrading equipment but however the old ones were still remained in my possession. So over all the years, I have piled up different pieces of junk which I call treasure.

You are correct; it is indeed a SDS mat on the LP12. My favorite JVC deck was a QL-70 fitted with a Grace 707arm but, sadly, I sold it to a friend years ago. That is why I have salvaged a motor unit from another damaged JVC deck and fitted on a custom plinthless base with the potential of fitting three tonearms.
