Some of the most musically involving systems I've heard over the years used Linn turntables.
While I truly enjoy my highly modded Well Tempered turn table (original), if I had to do it all over again, I think I'd go for one of the classic rim drive tables of yore with the new modifications and upgraded plinths that are available today for around $6000 or so. Having heard them in a couple of friend's systems, they seem to really put more "life" into the recordings.
