Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table

Currently have three tables on the system, and have run at least two for a number of years. I do remember back when I was younger and had fewer greenbacks to my disposal that I would run one table that was the best I could afford. That is actually my M.O. - only one of each. But I have broke that trend with turntables. 

But as I sit here and listen to my main table, a SOTA Cosmos Eclipse withe SME V and a Transfiguration Proteus I wonder why I bother with the others. Also residing on the stereo cabinet is a Well Tempered Reference with a ZYX 4D on it, and a Brinkmann Bardo with Audiomods Series 6 and Ortofon A90 on it. Both are very nice sounding tables, but neither are on the same level as the SOTA. The Brinkmann might have more I can coax out of it with a better arm, and that is something I have considered. 

Yet I wonder, why bother? Sometimes I think I should buy another cartridge on par with the Proteus and just rotate them when one goes off for refurbishment. 

This is what I get for thinking on a quiet weekend morning and having too much coffee....

Neon Knight ( great Dio song!).

I feel your pain....lol.
While my level of 3 TT is not to your standards I do wonder why at times.

Some days I think, well just sell all three and buy just one with the funds.

But then ,like today, I appreciate the different sonic attributes of each.
And right now I do have one set up as a Mono only deck so can sort of discount that from the mix unless I change the Cart... Which is a simple task, doh there I go again.

Three TT just gives me another excuse to buy more cart's.
