Turntable for life

I have had my Basis Ovation for over 25 years, only upgrading it once to add the Debut's platter and vacuum hold-down system.  Superbly engineered table, as is everything from Basis, works flawlessly
and is very satisfying.  If I had additional funds I might want the Basis Inspiration table, but now that I'm retired that's not likely.

Dchang1981--I owned one of the original Well Tempered turntables for about 3 or 4 years before I got my Basis.  Excellent turntable and an ingenious design.  A good deal lighter in the bass than the Basis, so the tonal balance was on the lighter side, and despite the mass and constrained layer damping it really had to be kept on a well isolated platform, as I occasionally could get some footfalls coming through if a lot of people were dancing..  The new top of the line ones are reputed to be excellent--check the archives, there are a lot of happy owners.  With the original table you could really only use the Well Tempered arm, which might be a drawback if you like to mix and match arms--not sure about the new models, but they are designed around their own arms.
