One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
If you enjoy the “art” of turntables and tonearms go for many.  I did that at one time and had 4 TT’s and 5 tonearms.  I enjoyed the mechanisms of different arms and experiencing the sound differences of different turntables.  But later I scaled d... 
Acoustic Signature turntables

Views on Acoustic Signature Tables
Hello,I owned the Acoustic Signature Mambo in the past and think it was an excellent table. Better than many higher priced tables I've heard since. Wish I never sold it....I now own the Ascona. But it has been used in a different, low-frequency li...

My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge
