My first real table was an;
''2 Pioneer PL-45D''.
2 Technics 1200 mkll
Thorens 126 lll
Technics 1210 G
EMT 948
The Pioneer’s are the only decks that are not hooked up.
All have their own sound. The EMT & the G are side by side in the main listening room.
The Thorens & the 1200 are in the basement setup. (full retro system)
I sold the other 1200 to help finance the G.
