The BIC 980 - you could stack 6 LP's and just plain enjoy listening to music. Of course then you grow up and start liking the stuff and the music sort of becomes your secondary enjoyment. What a shame.

As a breakthrough design, I have to pick the original AR turntable (1962) as one of the most significant tables. While the arm had excessive friction, the table itself revolutionized the genre. The three point suspension and low speed synchronous motor in conjunction with proven belt drive addressed the most significant limitations of those that preceded it, i.e., acoustical feedback at loud levels, suseptibility to shock and audible rumble frequency. An audio shop in Evanston, Illinois offered a conversion for the table that fitted an SME arm which should have made for an excellent combination.

Ljgj I almost forgot about my BIC 960 or was it 930 turntable from the mid 70's. And then the Denon after that. And then the SOTA after that. And then....when I'm ready, I will be asking Albert.
