    I don't have a turntable at present. But I'm planning on getting an SME Model 10, fitted with the 9'' V tonearm.

    My father has this exact SME turntable combo and it sounds very good indeed!

    I very much doubt that I'll be getting the model 15.

    I use what once was a cheap unfettled Rega Planar 3 w/RB300. It now has an acrylteller acrylic platter, tangospinner aluminium subplatter, Edwards Big Blue Belter(!), 24v motor upgrade, groovetracer counterweight and most notable - well, to my ears - M91ED cartridge w/JICO SAS stylus.
    Each upgrade has been a step towards a satisfying sound; the motor and subplatter making most difference to the speed stability, but the Shure really reaches down into the music and pulls out the detail without being too analytical.

    And I thought this thread would be 101 variants on a Technics SL1210. Have I drifted onto the wrong forum?

    Honestly, I really don't have any problems with it. It's sturdy as a concrete bunker and simply works day in day out with no hassles. Sound is lovely, and maintenance is minimal, I love it sez I.

    Or if you prefer, from the Blues Brothers, "we have all types of music here - country AND western"

    The distinction between the model variants on these DJ decks is lost on those of us using rubber bands

    There is no distinction. They are all the same.

    I have a fully "Funked" DJ deck. I like the openness and clarity of sound it delivers.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
