I still tinker with turntables. Whn I'm in a "close 'n play" mood, I use one of my old Bang & Olufsen models. I also like to take old AR XA's, re-do the suspensions and power supplies, then add a fairly low mass arm like the old Infinity Black Widow or even a Grace. My favorite table since the 70's is the tried-and-true Linn Sondek LP12. (Someone mentioned Heathkits, I love modifying old Dynas).
