What turntable do you spin your vinyl on?

I am interested to see what my fellow ten clubbers are using to listen to all the PJ vinyl they have collected over the years. Any favorite turntables for listening?

I have a Dual 630Q that I am fixing up, mid range but a good starter.

    Looks like a UFO. Bought it for $400 last year from a guy who used to own a record store here.

    That's a sexy machine right there. Have you seen the Union Jack model? sweet but pricey.

    This is almost my exact model.
    I like it because of the blue lights. And it has a cover of course.

    I spin on a Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 with a Denon cart. Driven by a Joilida Tube amp. I am an audiophile and not ashamed. I blame my father, he is an audiophile with a lot more money than me and his system is AMAZING.

    Just got a Technics 1200MK2. Haven't spun it yet. I still need to get speakers and receiver. If you have any recommendations, please PM me.

    I love the AT44oML. Such a natural sweet sound. Mine broke last year and I went to a Denon 110. Still nice but something about that 440ML that I miss.......

    Have updated some of my music listening equipment, still running the Polk RTi A1's which I enjoy, but may update them in the near future...

    Purchased a new Rega RP3 with an Elys 2 cartridge to replace my RP1...

    Very pleased with this update, it has a better platter made of glass and a better tonearm, I can definitely hear quite a difference in sound quality over the RP1. I changed up the plinth colour from the light grey to the dark.

    And a new amp, the Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 to replace my Pioneer VSX-521 receiver...

    I had to get something that would not only make listening to vinyl sound great, but also still be able to run my TV, Blu-ray and Sky TV (cable) through it and this unit ticked all the right boxes. Pumps out 100 watts per channel and has a built in DAC too. Adjustable bass and treble have really made listening to vinyl come alive.

    Dual 1019 and Pioneer PL-55DX for me. I run either of these through a Marantz 2245 paired with Cerwin-Vega VS-120's and Klipsch KG 2.5's. The Klipsch get some help in the low end from a Klipsch SW-10 Subwoofer with a 12" passive radiator.

    Works for me.

    That 2230B is a great example of the "Marantz sound". I'll bet the Advents pair quite nicely with it. Well done!

    I've only started about a year ago. I have a Marantz 2216, a Sony PS -LX3 with a M44-7 shure cartridge. I need better speakers though (currently have Vivid). Suggestions? Don't want to break the bank

    Audio Technica AT-LP1240 w/ Shure cartridge. Best sounding turntable I've ever owned.

    I have a Sony PS-LX300 turntable, with a TCC TC-750 preamp hooked up to a Sony STR-DH720 receiver, and Polk TSi100 speakers. In my ignorance I think the turntable is the weakest link (obviously), and I've been doing research to upgrade. I have to work on a budget, so it seems the Audio-Technica AT-LP120 is a solid choice, but not sure if I should save up another couple hundred and go with a Rega, Pro-Ject, or Orbit Plus. Appreciate any feedback if anyone has some!

    Which Wharfedale's do you have? I have a pair of Diamond 8.1's that are great and have incredible detail in the midrange and upper registers. I'm looking at a pair of old, W-60's now but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    I'm still very happy with my Pro-Ject Carbon Debut with an Ortofon Red cartridge. It's totally manual and for the most part I like that except the only slight drawback is having to lift off the platter and move the band to change speed.
