That's a serious turntable .....and i see that in your photobucket you have pictures of a Goldring Lenco L75! Do you still have that Andy?

I wanted this TT when it first came out but with a young family had to get the next one down, but a few years back got a nice bonus and thought 'what the hell' - has now been tweaked to buggery!!
Yep, still have the Lenco (well, 4 actually but 3 are in the garage and one sits next to the one above)

Love my music and always had a turntable (plus many records). Not a total Luddite though as do stream music too:D

OK, I confess to having no idea what make/model of turntable and arm that is. :o

Humble Thorens TD125MkII, SME 3009 arm and Shure V15 here....

Nice setup.

Its a Michell Orbe (but with an acrylic platter and springs replaced by new suspension, si,ilar to how the SME 10 turntable is done).
The arm is an SME V with a Goldring Elite MC cartridge.

Love a good hifi thread...
 
Lovely bits of kit - I can't match that either: I'm more of a Japanese gadget/linear tracking geek, with an SL-10 and LT5-V (along with a myriad of more budget "traditional" turntables...).

Cue possible debate on motor noise vs tracking issues ;)

SL-10's are lovely TT's
And no debate from me on linear against pivoted arms - both have merits +++.
Was working on a new arm design with some guys on one of the many DIY forums, a tangential arm, but my 3d printer started misbehaving so not touched it for a year or so now......

Hoping to get a wooden 12 inch arm which reduces the tracking issue by some margin but never as good as the linear arm :D
