The Official TURNTABLE Owner's Thread!

[Johnny Vinyl]

I decided to start this thread as I've seen a significant increase in forum members becoming involved in the world of vinyl playback. Many of our members have some really wonderful gear and they are oftentimes posted within their own galleries or within their own threads. I had my own posted for some time, but I am currently without a turntable, so I took them down.

The reason for this thread is to post pictures of your Turntable, power supply, phono stage, cabling, cartridges, tonearms, record cleaning devices, etc. Anything related to turntables. Tell a story about how you got into vinyl and what you love about it. Ask questions and make recommendations.
