Those cartridges are far more exotic and extravagant than mine, no comparison at all. Many people are going to be green with envy when they see them.This Marco (no not ours!) has about 3x more cartridges than me, but less than King.
One for each day of the month?

A stab Top L-RHow about naming them left to right from the top row - any takers?
Marco.
Row 1:
01-Denon - DL103S
02-Denon - DL103D
03-Sony - XL33
04-Sony - XL88
05-(Cant make it out) !
06- (Dunno)
Row 2:
01-Fidelity Research - FR7
02-Fidelity Research 702
03-Fidelity Research 201
04-Fidelity Research FR1
05-Fidelty Research another FR1
Row 3:
01-Kiseki - Lapis Lazuli
02-Kieski - Agaat Green
03-Kieski - Agaat Ruby
04-Kieski - Aggat Black
05-Kieski - Purple Heart
06-Kieski - Black Heart
07-Kieski - Blue
Row 4:
01-Koetsu - Onyx!
02-Koetsu - Rosewood
03-Koetsu - Black
04-Supex - SD900
05- (I'm Not Sure)
06-Decca - London Jublee
Row 5:
01-Decca - SPU Royal N
02-EMT - XSD 15
03-EMT - HSD 6
04- (Not sure looks like a Mission 773)
In answer to the original question, it really depends on a lot of things such as available funds and whether I could go classic/modified or had to buy brand new. Also, is this the deck only? What about cartridge, phono amp etc?
Ok, so a maximum spend of about £5k, which is about what I have paid for my complete modified Technics SL-1200 system anyway.
