What is your dream turntable?


If you could only have one, what would that dream be?
Mine would be a Thorens TD 124. I am a nostalgic, sentimental, retro guy.

I would want to have a TD 124 package like this ...
My Dream TT

A Source table with the deluxe power supply with either a Grado signature tonearm, or an SME 5 arm. I have this now.
I already own mine, a Bang & Olufsen BG9000 tangential tracking turntable. And I'm blessed with one each of their best cartridges, the MMC1 and MMC2. What I like most about this 'table is that it is SO easy to setup and use; simply snap in the cartridge, set the tracking force and hit the Play button. This means that even my wife can play records without having to fuss and fiddle with things.

And, because the cartridge and tonearm are perfectly matched, it can track *any* record, no matter how warped. In addition, it is virtually impossuble to scratch a record, the B&O's have the lowest effective tip mass of any cartridge/tonearm combo.

Did I also mention that it sounds pretty darn good, too? [smile]
