Which turntable is better?

What is the advantage in having more than one turntable?

At the moment, that is where I am at, more by accident than design.  My first turntable is a Garrard 301 with a Moving Magnet cartridge (Shure or Audio Technica), while my new turntable is a Holbo air bearing system which is awaiting delivery of a DS Audio optical cartridge.  My hot-off-the-press SoulNote Phono Equalizer can switch between the two at the press of a front-panel button.

The running cost of the two turntables is vastly different when you take into account the cost of replacing a MM stylus versus the cost of retipping the optical cartridge.

Never thought of that angle before!

Gold Note PH-10 - found it better than anything I demoed at double the price. Pretty sure many on here will agree. Seems like a logical choice. Just my opinion and clearly I'm a fan of GN products. 

I have narrowed down choices to Mofi Ultradeck, Rega Planar 6 and Technics SL-1200GR2.

Back in 2018 I demoed the Ultradeck, 1200GR (original), and Rega P6. 
I’ll start off by saying there are no wrong answers here. All great tables. 
Now before people ask, this was not a reviewers version of testing. All three had different carts, and the P6 was in a different system entirely. These were buyer demos, a normal shopping experience. Not some complex double blind shootout for a publication. 
Anyway, I came home with the Ultradeck and I still have it. Any time I’ve reached out to Mofi for service or questions they’ve been quick to respond and service levels were above and beyond. 
 

Now having said all that, I am actively trying to save for a new table. Likely a 1200G or VPI Prime X. At the moment I’m leaning towards 1200G, but ask later and I might flip flop that, lol. 
 

above all, Rega has the best arm and has great detail. Technics was the most forward sounding and would potentially be the easiest to own. Mofi was the smoothest and warmest sounding, which was exactly what I was looking for at the time. That’s what I remember from those demos years ago. 

displayname,

Can you tell me issues you had with Ultradeck?

Get the VPI. You'll be glad you did.
