The main reason I stopped posting "WTF?" (Which Turntable Friday ?) is because I simply ran out of ideas.
So, here is something we haven't tried before.
This week is kinda' like Wheel of Fortune , but no monetary prizes, just a turntable.
Rather than giving you a choice of two turntables to select from, this week you can choose from every table that has ever been made.
Please excuse me for not listing them. I'm a lazy SOB and I admit it.
Pick a table you've lusted after, or maybe one you sold and wish you had back, or maybe one you currently own.
Pick a table, any table ... its free.
Please tell us why you selected it and post a picture if you can. All posts are better with pictures. Hot dogs need mustard, posts need pictures.
As was the case last week, this one is a slam dunk for me... I'll take my SP-15 with the EPA-250 arm back.
Why? Two reasons. First, it is my favorite of all of the turntables I've ever owned. I love the way it looks, sounds, it's feature set, its fit, feel and finish.
Second reason... nostalgia.
I was going through a very rough patch when I had my SP-15 and almost every night, for six months, I would spin records until the wee hours of the morning... listening with headphones, so as to not disturb the source of my rough patch.
I had a light over the table, so I could watch the records spin from where I sat... with the volume most likely past the level of safe listening.
For me, there is an emotion associated with listening to a record while watching it play that I cannot explain... but its freakin' awesome.
This table brought me much happiness. What else could I ask from it?
Pick a table, any table... its free.
Please tell us why you selected it and post a picture if you can. All posts are better with pictures.
Thanks for playing along.
Have a great weekend !

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
