I used to be happy with my 1200s and a Rega for 'hi-fi', but I've just seen something better to play my old vinyl on and it's a snip at £120,000. Read about it here (http://www.reghardware.com/2012/07/14/product_round_up_build_a_bonkers_hi_fi/)

I currently use a Thorens TD 170, automated arm with simple flick of a switch for lifting/lowering if like my you have hands like shovels and the finesse of a bull in a china shop and dont wanna break the needle on the end heh :P
