I have gone insane, need help

I just started into vinyl this summer, and have gone completely insane with tables. Need some help and advice on thinning the herd as I am just flat running out of space. Would love to have an idea on which ones you would recommend keeping and why.

Here is the list:

Linn Lingo LP 12 cirkus model with trapmolinn and Ekos arm

Yamaha PF-800, actually have two of them

Yamaha PX-3

Thorens TD 124, thing is new in box with wood grado arm

Thorens TD 160 super, completely redone by tubeaudioproducts

Thorens TD 165 kinda beat

Thorens TD 165 with arm lift, really great shape

Dual 1229 nearly mint, it was another NOS

Technics SL 1200 Mk 1

couple other little toyish ones not worth saying

These are all the ones I currently possess

If they were mine I would keep the Linn and 124 and sell the rest.

The first step is admitting you have a problem......

OK, so now on to step two: What to do about it?

I would recommend selling the ones that will net the most return on your "investment" without deminishing your listening pleasure. In other words, sell the most expensive ones that you don't think are the best.....

Enjoy,

it depends on what music you listen to.if you listen to classical or jazz from the 50s and 60s,then keep the thorens 124,buy a decent 12" tonearm, with mono and stereo cartridges and seel the rest ,its all crap,(including the linn!).

I'm looking for a good inexpensive (i.e., limited funds at the moment) turntable to start listening to vinyl - mostly jazz, classical - so why don't I give one of your turntables a foster home!

Sell all of them and get a VPI or Basis. Even the Clearaudio would be a good choice or Marantz. This would simplify your storage space...jallen
