Never use an SPU...Originally Posted by Marco
Nae probs, dude... Have you ever tried it with an Ortofon SPU on any of those decks, though?
That's the crux of the matter, as far as my 'debate' with the two Dave's here is concerned.
Thought you'd like the ideaJust wondering if it's legal!

Eh? My wife certainly wishes I only had a dozen.
I sold one last week and so am currently down to 41 at present..........

Well, if I include my main reference deck, the deck I use for playing singles, the deck I use when I'm reviewing and the deck I use as a spinning platter for record cleaning purposes, then I suppose the number of turntables in my collection that I use regluarly is....er....1.
But what the hell's that got to do with anything?!

Any chance of a list???????
Mine are all the "wrong" ones -
TD125/R200
Technics SL-150/G707 (may be selling this soon and it DOES have great potential)
Dual 701 (seriously good still and I love it to bits)
1972 Beogram 3000 x 2 (one for bits)/SP14 or SP12
and coming soon..
Thorens 160 Super/SME 3009 II Fixed
and maybe a Spacedeck if I'm VERY lucky - that will be the end of this turntable journey for now..
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
