If you could have 2 turntables...


I have a P25/RB600-incognito/Grado Sonata that I am very happy with. I recently A/B'ed my table versus a SOTA Sapphire - which I also liked. The two tables were both musically engaging but had different presentations. I liked them both. It got me thinking about adding a second, differently designed, turntable to my system.

If you were me, what tables/arms would you consider?

How many of you out there have more than 1 table? (if so, what are they?)

At one time I owned three turntables but I'm down to two now. I had a systemDek IIx with stock arm and Shure V15 cartridge in my office at one time, sold it off when I changed companies. I'm a fan of Oracle turntables so I own two of them. In my main system I have a Delphi Mark IV with a SME345 arm and Grado Sonata cartidge, phono preamp is a Lehmann Black Cube. In my office system I have an Oracle Alexandria with MMT arm and Grado Platinum cartridge, phono preamp is part of my Classe Thirty unit.

My boss has a tweaked Sota Sapphire, he heard my 'tables and is buying an Oracle as we speak.
Like Twl, who likes to suggest Teres (a fine choice), I generally suggest Nottingham. One thing to consider is a Spacedeck with an extra arm pod to allow for two separate arms and pickups. Can be cheaper in the long run than a second table, and still allow for different sound.
Yes the trese with the Origin live silver arm and a shelter 501 just like TWL, or an Origin live Aurora with the silver arm and a shelter 501 like me. These 2 will kill almost anything out there. You will not believe how much sound is in the grooves.WOW!!!
