Which turntable to keep?

Hi All--

Some advice/opinions please. I have two turntables and the wife says that's one too many since we only have a spot for one currently. I have a Dual 1229 and an Elac Miracord 50H II. Both look good and are fully functional. If she insists that I sell one, which one should it be and why?

 

TIA

If no sentimental value for either, sell both and upgrade. If should keep one that could be Dual, better player and easier to find spares if needed.

I’d keep the Dual. It’s better than some of what you might upgrade to.

Sell both and buy a turntable that plays CDs!  😆

OK, sell both and get a Rega.

Or not. 

Get a Luxman, Ayre, or Esoteric CD spinner.

You'll never want to listen to vinyl records ever again.

Or not.

Just my 2C...

Thanks for the input, everyone. Both units were given to me by my elderly dad when he downsized, so there's no diff in sentimental value between the two. I have no interest in spending more to upgrade since my wife insisted on built-in speakers in our home since she didn't want to see speakers sitting in the room. In other words, it's far from a setup that would benefit from a top end TT. Sounds like I'll be keeping the Dual.
