[@ramblinginmeath4950]

Works of mechanical art - greetings from Ireland

[@dgroovy43]

Liked your choice of music in the background very much, like always. And the turntables as well😉

[@MichaelDavitt1]

Thanks Ken appreciate the long hours and hard work !

[@ZZXZZY118]

Thank you!

[@garyives1218]

Easily, I can think of much much worse ways to piss away thousands. This is art after all.

[@ianforster6717]

Bloody marvellous Ken, I really enjoyed that! 👍

[@ΦΩΤΗΣΡΑΛΛΗΣ-τ8β]

Congratulations...!!!!

[@meshplates]

Lots of nice tables. With its out of the box straight arm, that yamaha is intriguing.

[@richardelliott8352]

it stopped me, made me wonder what advices would be made if a boutique manufacture had that kind of manufacturing ability.

[@richardelliott8352]

quite enjoyable, I spent the entire time, with scant success, trying to see what cartridges were used by those that didn't make those products, same with the arms. I originally clicked to see if the added money from a renewed interest in records had unified some of the turntable design thinking, since the goals are so basic, and the design concepts should be pretty mature by now, considering turntables preceded electrification, and now require a performance focused design to run with the pack, rather than more convenience features selling product . personally, I was glad to see a Michell gyro make the scene. it's been around so long that it is kind of yesterday's news, but I am a big fan, thinking it executes the basic design principles very well, in the form of well considered answers to consumer needs, within a cost constrained design.

Excellent video. Tell me now. What would you buy? Suspension plate or mass. Three plates that you really liked. Thanks!

[@brianlewis5042]

Some of these tables are exquisite. That Kusma tonearm is to die for. I will be on the lookout for your printed review and well as your KZbin video.

[@Trojan0304]

Fascinating gear but my old 1600mk2 won’t die so keeping it . Great vlog

[@richardelliott8352]

I find satisfaction in owning what I consider a machine of great value, that is so basic it could be made functional centuries into the future, when parts are long gone .

[@Unpreeeedictable]

Thanks for the rundown Ken. Good cross-section of tables at different price points. That said, the TW Acustic table was my favorite, but I own a Raven One so guilty of being a fanboy.

[@rxonmymind8362]

?= TIEN AUDIO TT5 (I think) Thank you for the video.

[@hectoralvarez941]

Some of these are nightmares lol. Lots of good stuff. Thanks !

[@richardelliott8352]

I did notice that one turntable that looked like a guy got locked inside a machine shop

[@heribertovalentin1563]

Nice Ken, beautiful turntables, wow Luxman turntable and Yamaha wow, those cats were swinging 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎷🥁🎸

[@richardelliott8352]

I used to know a designer who worked in the expensive parts of the Los Angeles area , that used luxman as her secondary line, when a customer needed an office system or something other than the blindingly expensive top shelf brand she primarily used.

[@westernartifact580]

Thanks Ken! Some beauties there. Can anyone tell me what the background music is between the melody Godot and Linda Rondstadt - beginning about 3:10? Thanks.

[@dirtharris]

'The Hidden Ones' by Ennio Mano.

[@tonyharrison2542]

Very nicely presented Ken.

[@SubTroppo]

I haven't been keeping count but that's more turntables than LPs I've ever owned. How can they all make money?

[@dennishill290]

Yamaha....👍🍺🔊🔈.... !

[@jeffreycatalano4034]

Thanks Ken!

[@davidthom7127]

A lot of people reinventing the wheel

[@vinylcabasse]

quite literally, lol

[@hoselrocket2001]

SME 60....drool

[@AudiophiliaChannel]

Hi Ken. Who was the last tenor player on your soundtrack? Stan? Album, too, please. Thx. All the best

[@edwardsalkin9478]

Kuzma setup sounded great

[@fueledbylove]

Out of all those different tables I am certain AT makes the most money because their stuff is affordable for the masses. The esoteric ones are too expensive and there is a lot of competition amongst those hi-end companies. Pretty machines though, I enjoye the trip.

[@rega1039]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@KB-os6lh]

SOTA deck is my pick of the bunch.

[@itsonlyme9938]

I was keen on LP'S but they are mega expensive.

[@COLDMKULTRA]

No Cat should be playing the Horn sitting down ... Ever 🤣😂😅

[@brahand]

What happened to Basis turntables?

[@kozlowy3]

Where is Janusz Sikora from Poland ?

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

I couldn’t get to their room. There are way too many rooms for one person to cover.

[@cillyede]

👍👍👍🇩🇪🎶

[@swimmad456]

Audiophiles shows are places where massive over engineering meets the Modern Totally Random Jazz Quartet.

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

You reveal your ignorance on both counts

[@billeames]

I'd rather hear sound of each turntable rather than the spacey instrument overdub.

[@biffnarzilla4649]

What? No Transrotors? Shame...

[@I.am.KubKab]

Why this awful back ground music?
