Multi Arm Table

I saw a setup in NYC that had 4 arms mounted on a Micro-Seiki 8000 turntable. He had all four mounting blocks custom machined so that the weight difference between all 4 arms/cartridges with mounting block was less than 1 gram. It was a truely awesome experience, for me anyway. So he had 4 different arm/cartridge combinations on the ONE turntable. Crazy Kool. :)

You have three options:

1- buy a new deck that can accommodate multiple arms. $$$
2- build or rebuild a deck that can accommodate multiple tonearms. Start with a Thorens TD-124 or Garrard 301 and... $$-$$$
3- buy a vintage deck that can accommodate multiple tonearms. I am particularly fond of the Luxman PD-444, but there are several others. $-$$

I 2nd the Luxman PD-444 if you can find one. Great vintage DD turntable.

Your first (aka cheapest) option is to looks at the 'arm pod' thread. I had the same problem with my Kuzma Stabi Reference and solved the problem by ordering an arm pod/ tonearm combo by the Red (www.red.lt). But you may prefer
some of the ideas from the mentioned thread and build your
own or order one by a manufacturer. The best option among
arm pods is the 'universal kind' with replaceable above plate such that you can use different tonearms. However because of the distance to the spindle you will probable
need 12'' tonearms.

The Basis Debut is an excellent turntable, better than some of the alternatives proposed above. The Basis has very precise lockable arm boards that are easy to change over. Why dont you use additional arm boards - you should be able to set up a range of arms with easy changeover.
