What's been your turntable ownership over the years?

I've been listening to the same Technics SL2000 since 1978.  Been thru a few cartridges though.

2007: SOTA Star Sapphire III w/ Fidelity Research FR64fx
2013: Clearaudio Innovation w/ Graham Phantom Supreme
Soon (few weeks max): Clearaudio Innovation Master

Thank god I went for that SOTA instead of a new Pro-Ject in the 1.2K range at the time (whatever the all acrylic one was).

Thanks very much for the note. Much of what you value in the Durand, I find that I value in my more humble TransFi: adjustability and dedication of the owner. Of course, in jewel-box workmanship, there is absolutely no contest.

I find that as little as 10 minutes of azimuth arc can strongly affect sound, and the TransFi will allow about 5, maybe 4. How about the Durand? It would be wonderful to be able to do that on-the-fly.

@terry9 agree with you entirely on Azimuth -- check here (http://www.durand-tonearms.com/Support/Support/azimuth.html) for lots of advice on how to set it. Anyway all Durand tonearms feature precise mechanisms for adjusting azimuth on the fly. In the original Talea via the influence of two magnets pulling on either side of the arm -- this complex system was simplified in the Kairos to an outrigger type arrangement with adjustable weight to ensure minimal contact, the whole outrigger platform is then raised or lowered to adjust azimuth which works a treat.
