Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge?

ihcho, those people are on another planet. Stay away from antiques. They are antiques for a reason. For 10K there is so much modern equipment that will handily out perform any of that stuff you mention above. In a modern system with solid output down to 20 Hz those turntables are awful. Big heavy arms and low compliance cartridges have a hard time following record irregularities (warps) adding distortion and increasing record wear. 
I am not into romantic sound. I am into accurate sound. With a good system you are better off with modern turntables, tonearms and cartridges. Do your antique collecting on the side. Get into old cars or something.  

Very important i will make a list asap.

@millercarbon, "You want to know the truth? Once a very reasonably affordable level is reached there are a whole lot of turntables that are so good that what you will hear is at least as much due to what the turntable is sitting on as the table itself."


That was certainly my truth when I placed a cheap plastic turntable upon a solid wood rigid open framed table and was taken aback at what I was hearing. A wonderfully open dynamic sound lacking very little other than deep bass!

I guess all turntables must vary in the extent that they are influenced by their environments, but none seem to be totally indifferent.

OK maybe this one real got close.

Yes, it’s that AR hammer test once again.

As for most hyped. Easily the LP12 through the late 1980s, at least in the UK. You really had to be there to see some of the messianic nonsense written about this latter day AR and the rebadged Audio Technica cartridges it often came with.

My friend also insists that Ortofon RMG 309 tonearm and the original SPU Silver Meister (not MKii) are best for Garrard and Thorens.

Ortofon is not the best tonearm and SPU is not the best cartridge, there are many more classic high mass tonearms and low compliance cartridges. 

If you want something ultra high-end then Reed 3P is perfect for Garrard and Thorens turntables (it can be used with modern cartridges). 

Anyway, this is a personal choice. Why do you want some boby else to tell you what's the best ? 

Chakster, why the 3P? I am especially fond of the 3G. It has removable arm wands of different effective masses so you can tune it to any cartridge and like head shells you can keep several cartridges loaded up ready to go.
