In 33 years in this hobby, I've only owned 3 tables.
1. Technics SL-1500 or something like that back in 1976..kept it for 25 years. It was a direct drive machine. I started with a Pickering cartridge back then....then I moved up to the Shure V-15 type III, and outstanding cartridge in its day. Then I moved up to the V-15 type V, an even better cartridge.
2. I then bought my dream machine, an Oracle Delphi Mk1 with a Grado Platinum cartridge. I still have the table and cartridge, such a beautiful machine...a real work of art. It still works perfectly, but technology marches on and it does duty in my rack as eye candy or (audio sculpture). My guests always oooh and ahhh at it.
3. Michell Gyrodec with Sumiko Celebration cartridge is my current table. Great sounding and beautiful to look at.
