what turntable is everyone using?

I'm stoked. I've been doing research for a long time to
try to find a good turntable I could afford. thought I was
going with a rega planar 3 then ending up getting a VPI Mark
III with a rega rb300 arm. the fucking thing weighs 48
pounds!! now I have to decide on a good cartridge to buy.
any ideas? can't wait to hear how eno's on land or music
for airports sounds. I've also collected all of Ae's albums
saving them for when for when I got a cartridge I new
wouldn't hurt them. warp imports can get quite expensive.
hopefully they will sound better now than on this beat up
old kenwood that belonged to my parents. are most of you
guys using technics 1200's?

i constructed my own phonograph using a hatpin, wooden table
leg, yarn, and a cone made out of constuction paper.

dave,

with the way most of the mainstream brands make turntables
these days I'll bet your old turntable is better.

cortex,

my dad has an old pioneer, looks pretty cool.

technics 1200 are bad if you're listening rather than djing.
don't get one!

me, i'm using an old 70's german 'dual' turntable. lovely
solid one i picked up 2nd hand for really cheap. i bought a
new ortofon cartridge for it. they're good cartridges.

mmm i love vinyl. you'll enjoy eno.

watermelon man,

yeah...I used to think that technics made the best
turntables. after my first day of checking about I quickly
realized that they're aren't even on the map as far as
listening purpases go. there seems to be a lot of talk
about rega, vpi, and sota turntables. I'm planning to spend
probably at least three or four hundred on my cartridge. of
course then there is the issue of a good phone preamp...the
list keeps going on and on.
