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

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.

Happy wife happy life!  

I built vintage stereo system, she choose speakers that matched the living room. Setup a single power button and she can use her phone to play amazon music. 

Problem solved lol :)
