Some very beautiful tables in this thread..

Hello, fellow turntable lovers.  I just found this thread.  I'd posted these in the "[size=10.909090995788574px]Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please"[/size]  thread previously.  They're probably more appropriate/appreciated here.  Apologies to those who've already seen these, but since I can just copy/paste, I could not resist.
 
It's very black.

 
You have to look closely to read the model.

 
The RB303 tonearm.

 
The delicious Ortofon 2M Black cartridge.

 
 
Comes with a wool mat.

 
 
 
Glass platter, without mat.

Yours is one of them. Tell us more about your table setup.

Is the inner glass and out metal? look awsome.

Think the bike is my favourite part.

This is a tad off topic but could I get some suggestions for some clear white vinyl records. Not the colored ones but the all white tranlucents. Thanks. riq

Thanks, however compared to most setups here it's fairly basic. It's a Thorens TD-147 with an Ortofon MC3 Turbo. I put it on spikes in the hope that it would fix some vibration issues (wooden floors...) but it's not helping, so I'll need a wallmount soon. 
 
For the rest I use an AVM V3 preamp, Hiraga class-a poweramp, and Tannoy Berkeleys.

I use two TT. In my "Staging" room (where albums are cleaned and auditioned) is my beloved Alphason Sonata (which I bought in 1987) with solid titanium Alphason HR100MCS arm with Van Den Hul Mono Crystal Silver wires and a Madrigal Carnegie One cartridge designed by Mark Levinson.
 
Below is my main listening room TT, The Townshend Rock 7 with Excalibur 3 arm and the amazing Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. Analog heaven.

Hey Riq,
 
Ryko Analog has two clear vinyl albums that I own: Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, and Jimmy Hendrix Experience Radio One. They look great, but both are really bright pressings, which is a shame since I would otherwise use them with guests (digital skeptics) to demo the TTs.
I look forward to more suggestions from others.
Cheers,
Alón

Clear vinyl (and coloured) look fantastic!

My friend needs a turntable recommendation with a hard limit of $450

 

[Skylab]

Well, MusicDirect sells the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon + Ortofon 2M Red for $399. That's the no muss, no fuss way to go. In that price range I of course would buy used/vintage direct drive and a better cartridge, but you have to do your own cartridge set up then.

Yeah he was looking at that and I said to get the Music Hall MMF 2.2 that Needle Doctor had for $449
