Tossing out a question about some 'tables...


Greetings all!

In my recently renewed quest to upgrade my source components, I have (re)started my turntable search. In this episode, our intrepid hunter is asking the collective their opinions about the following tables (assuming all are equipped with their std. tonearms and a cartridge TBD):

AR EB101
Thorens 318
Linn Axis

Said hunter knows there are other tables out there (and he isn't discounting them), the above models are currently available through various sources. So...fire away...

Thanks!

All of these turntables will get you a dance, and maybe a kiss, but the bad girls are outside smoking.

Breadman,
Back in the day, I was thrilled to get the dance...:)
Thanks for all the responses so far guys, I may still be able to squeak out a request for one of the "bad girls" (I married one of the 'dance and kiss' types)...
Greetings again!

First off I want to thank everyone here at A'gon (again) for all the help I've received over the years (and recently -- got a great deal on a great CD player). I'm still looking for a 'table and have taken the above info to heart (meaning I'll obsess about it whenever possible and try to weasel a few extra bucks into the account). In the meantime, both of the following are listed here and was wondering about others' experiences with these models/setups:

Rega Planar 3/sme309 seriesiii/goldring1012GX

Linn Basik Turntable w/ tone arm (Basik +) and cartridge (new Grado Green)

thanks in advance!

Greg
