A turntable that plays all types of music well

kingharold-

Miller Carbon, I quite enjoy your dry wit. 

Thanks, appreciate it. Currently working on designing turntable racks specialized by genre. Some have suggested a modular approach with shelves designed for rock, jazz, and classical. But I think that is too much of a compromise. Even one stereo per song is too much of a compromise for me. Ultimately  not only the system but the whole room and house should be for each type of music. Country Music in Nashville, naturally. The Grunge and Indy music house Seattle, obviously. But Blues? Chicago? At least we know to play the Mozart in Salzburg. But can this same house system work for Tchaikovsky? So many people say the goal is a music system that makes all music sound equally good, I was about to throw in with them when I saw your comment. I will now redouble my efforts!! Thanks!

Sorry. Right. Don't know how I missed those. Probably engrossed in this design I have for remote control VTA adjustment so you can change VTA for every type of music and even song to song. With memory function so once you figure out which table, arm, cartridge, interconnect, phono stage and (did I leave something out? It feels like I left something out?) then VTA and of course VTF can be locked in and programmed to return to those settings, saving untold man-hours that can then be devoted to mechanical chemical ultrasonic three stage purified water cleaning and optimal humidity drying. Which oh by the way it turns out the classical LP requires 50% humidity at 78 degrees while rock dries best at 40% humidity and 84 degrees. You can do the other way around but the strings will sound a bit dry.

Mine likes polka. So we compromise. At the end of each night I leave a polka LP on the platter to keep the dust off.

I like to use dining tables for sit-down dinners, kitchen tables for lunch and snacks, turntables for music. Each of five different turntables for jazz, blues, rock, classical, and swing. Five arms per turntable allows optimization for sub-genres of each. Detachable head shells are of course a must, as how else can you be sure of using the right cartridge for each LP? There should of course be five phono stages (per turntable), and I find a walk-in closet works great for hanging the 50 or so interconnects needed to go with all of this.  

Then we have the amplifiers, we need five of each type- tube and ss, SET and Push-pull, Class ABCDExpialidocious, and then back to the walk-in for speaker cables. Cable elevator- does not reach the top floor.    

This is all for 33. For 45, double everything. 78? Don't ask!
