I have two lifers - Technics SP 10 MK3 (Porter plinth, Krebs modified, SME V-12 and Graham Phantom 12") for direct drive and Basis Debut Signature (SME V) for belt drive. I love them both for different reasons and wouldn't want to be without either.
Turntable for life
I know the question has been asked before but it’s worth asking again. Many change equipment frequently, but have you found your turntable for life? One that you’ve had for years and still pleases you so much you are going to keep it forever? Price is irrelevant--it can be 300 Dollars or 30.000 Dollars
