Many years have passed since this thread, many turntables have come and gone. The list of decks owned is ever increasing, the collection of Rockport Turntables ever growing. I still conclude the Rockport system 111 when painstakingly set ups and with a few revisions is the finest turntable I have ever heard. I sit here with the Airforce premium, a cs port the latest walker and a host of others. The Rockport is one class act a turntable that would be almost impossible to recreate today and one that would make no economic sence.
