How many people concider looks just as important as sound of TT's? I just cant get away from the looks part. Maybe that is why I buy and sell so many TT's. I place to much emphisis on looks. Any opinions on this?

Sound is more important to me. I have an Aries 3- the looks are okay. There are much better looking taables out there, but the performance price factor has me loving the Aries.

Yup, I sure care for looks to a certain degree - but gladly enough I prefer the conventional record-player look to the oil-drilling-platform look as well as understatement to bling. In fact I'm not even opposed to plastic plinths, provided these are pretty well made - so designs that please my eye are plenty and usually also fairly inexpensive...

Sound and functionality/usability are more important.
I like both looks and sound. I must admit the table sounds better with my SME 345.

My Oracle is certainly a looker, and it sounds, Well Gee Wally Sswell. Altho the Fidelity Research is an arm, it's what I'd call pedestrian, fortunately it sounds great.

I DO appreciate looks, but perhaps hanging on to my Nott Horizon means I don't put too much weight on it :-) Of 6 working TTs, favorite for looks is my Technics SL-B270, a recent $10 thrift find. I find the slim, minimalist look very hip & attractive. I know I'm forever disqualified from the vinylphile elite club for thinking so of a lower priced, mass market 'table, but I've been very impressed with how good this li'l belt drive sounds. It's not the equal of my suped up Technics SL1210, but it acquits itself very well. If I replace the P24CS conical stylus w/the Jico SAS-MM1 per Ivan303's recommendation, who knows? :-)
Nottingham Horizon, a 'table that's NO looker, IMHO, but sounds so good it gets to stay.

Jim

Agree--- I had two of those slim-lined Technics 'tables as well like yours(I think that particular design and color is still pretty sharp and modern looking for 2010)---What I liked about them is that for entry decks they were no slouches in the adequately damped plinth department.Speed to me was admirably steady(although I never did do the wow & flutter test with a classical record with piano).I just wished they would have had separate anti-skate and stylus pressure,VTF adjustment parameter controls instead of the factory pre-sets...As a matter of fact, they were my first taste of anything Technics---I then bought my 1200 M3D---wonderful 'table...At $10, that is a deal; I've seen eBay sellers price that model style between $50-$100 :)
Cheers,

I like that slim-line Technis look, too - and have an SL-QD33 of that design myself. That one at least still features the VTF fine adjustment - but if you want adjustable anti-skating as well, it becomes more difficult, 'cause afaik only the first T4P series models (SL-Q30/D30 et cetera) had that. Later on the VTF fine adjustment became more and more limited to the more expensive versions among the slim-line models, and adjustable anti-skating was only continued on the heavier SL-QX300. And, of course, the higher-end T4P models like the T4P version of the SL-M1 as well as the SL-M2 also had it. Of these two the M1 looked better to me btw...

VTF adjustment screw in the back of counterweight allows some fine tuning using my Shure SFG-2 VTF gauge, though I don't like setting VTF w/o being able to 0 antiskate. Didn't seem to have enough antiskate force near outer perim of platter to visibly deflect stylus/cantilever. It was pretty close, just slight adj got it pretty much spot on 1.25g (w/in Shure .1g accy).
I'm thinking of getting the jico sas-mm1 stylus repl ($97) for the P24 cart. It might be overkill for the SL-B270 table, but with p-mount adapter to 1/2" headshell, I might end up with a helluva cart for my other decks.

ScottRT modded and painted my 1600MK2 a few years ago. Cardas tonearm rewire, Lexus Metallic Gold Mist paintjob. i just gotta find a way to throw some "twenty-foes" on it (spinners, of course ;-) BLING BLING!
Currently running a Van Den Hul retipped Spectral MCR Signature - sounds great to my ears...

...Scott does amazing work on those---He did mine just a few months before yours...I opted for the piano black high gloss paintjob...Which in turn inspired me to paint my 1979 Technics SL 5300 a pitted shiny-metal black!
change my Oracle Delphi II with SME IV.
And by that I mean, I don't care for TT's where the designer has gone "too far" aesthetically. What is "too far"? It's a subjective thing that can vary by brand, type, and vintage, and once a TT has gone past that line I don't care how good it sounds. I ain't buying.
Jim
I think my SOTA is ugly, but then I only paid $800 for it - all MDF, all black. When not in use it wears a towel to keep grime and sunlight out. While making music, the deck is simply... beautiful. And I'm sure glad that the dust cover is hinged.
The wood grain finished units look much better, at least in the pictures.
If I was going to blow 5 grand or more, I'd probably buy based on looks. In that price range it should be difficult to find any deck that doesn't sound good enough. Teres turntables are candy to my eyes.

Perform they may, but there are a host of well regarded ‘tables I couldn’t face in the morning: most VPIs, the Nottingham Analogues, the Kuzmas, the Goldmund Reference, the Walker Proscenium, the Continua…
Yes, chacun à son goût , but who are we kidding?
I don't mind saying so. If my current table didn't get a good review for it's sound quality, I wouldn't have bothered. That it looks as good as it sounds is the real bonus. That it showed up on the Gon for cheap (one of those you can't afford NOT to buy deals) is really why it's here today. Its features mimic those of my friends MUCH costlier Walker - mass, free standing motor, power supply with 33/45 speed selection. Simple but substantial. I love it. Certainly easier to use :)

Opus 104
I confess I bought a Ferrari Red Project Debut III and the optional acrylic platter as a back-up TT based on the looks but it turned out to sound far better than I expected when I added the Speed Box and an AT HOMC cartridge. The wow factor with visitors is unbelievable : <}.
My visitors just say Wow!
Later they say, "Does it all really make a difference?"
"You said you heard things you'd never heard before..."
"Ya, I did, but..."

If I had to pick one turntable based on looks, I'd go with a walnut Merrill Heirloom. As far as arms, I'd probably go with a Triplanar.
And if I didn't like the way it sounded, well then it'd just have to play second fiddle to my Technics 1200. Wacka wacka.
Dave over at Vinyl Nirvana has a really pretty Heirloom:
I think the VPI HW19 is prettier in natural wood than black but I've always thought the Gyrodecs were sharp as hell.
The LaLuce was one of the earlier clear acrylics and I thought it looked great.
But the decks guys have taken and put in natural wood plinths are drop dead gorgeous.
I always thought the Denon DDs were pretty, especially because I passed on one at a yard sale for 10 bucks because as we all know, Japanese tts are junk. Sometimes I hate myself.
Live and learn, eh?

...Not sure specifically which model you saw at the yardsale. I do like that 'flagship' Denon look of my two DP 59Ls and even the 47F (with the silver bezel,brushed aluminum controls and trim with the cherry laminate,versus the later black trim version)...
I still would like to land me one of those 'flying saucer with the lights' decks, the Denon 62L and 72L...However, prices on the used market(eBay) for them just keep reaching those stratospheric bid amounts!---...and I keep reminding myself as the years go by and those older Denon decks keep getting older and keep getting pricier and pricier,do I really want a 62L in the year 2010 and beyond with old caps(with repair parts practically non-obtanium or unobtanium??!!)...
Matt
I completely restored the electronics in my DP80. Obviously, the capacitors are easy to replace with new and better ones. There is one critical Denon-specific IC that I found in Hong Kong for a few bucks. There are a bunch of transistors which "my" technician, Bill Thalmann (another plug for Bill) tells me tend to go bad, so he replaced them with modern, better, more reliable equivalents. All this work was surprisingly inexpensive (maybe because I chased down the IC myself), and Bill was able to calibrate the DP80 to "better than new" specs, once the installations were done. It even plays music now.
That's great to know Lew---I myself would probably have to go that route if any of my Denons failed(hoping that it would just be an available and viable or critical part as you mentioned)---as I am no turntable repair technician myself...The only thing I have heard for the past few years is that in order to get certain parts for an older Denon is to cannibalize another one of like/similar model---I would not want to do that to another properly functioning Denon to repair mine(might as well use the functioning one versus repairing my broken one) unless I really knew it was one to truly be used for spare parts(if that makes sense)...but then again,I'm almost back at square one pulling the same 'aged parts' from one Denon to put into my Denon for repairs-------------As for caps, that is true, those should be replaceable...but the IC's(certain chips),parts of the internal board,complex servo-arm,etc., I wonder if availability is like that all across the board(no pun intended)with even the later models(DP 59L, 47F) since more automation and bells and whistles went into those...hmmm,very interesting.
Regards,
Matt
My advice is to get the part numbers for the ICs and google them. You may find that they are still available NOS from vendors in the far east. Certainly that major chip that runs the most important central functions (speed stability, strobe, etc) is available.

Do any of you who say they don't care about the looks of their turntable drive an ugly car? And if the looks of your car is important to you why not your turntable. Just took ownership of a basis 1400 with rega 300 arm. Love the sound and love the looks.

Why should I choose flashy spikes for my rack's feet? Those pretty Oregon spikes look good under my table as well.
I believe that a pretty representation relaxes us and makes for a better listening experience. I know I can't relax when my room is messy...I want to clean rather than listen to music. that
The same goes for knowing settings needing changed...for instance the taps I switched this evening. It HAD to be done to get better sound but it was more than just that. It needed done...simple as that.

I might say that something "ugly" can grow beautiful with appreciation for its sound.
I have always thought that Denon direct drive tables were at the tail end of the line when the turntable deity was handing out looks. That said, after you listen to a DP-100, you quickly appreciate the quality and you realize that the looks are part of it achieving that quality (i.e. monster frame/suspension, large rigid top plate, quite tall because it has a paint can for a motor).
In the same way, Micro Seiki tables are "beautiful" though under any normal circumstances, the big Micros look like a pile of geometric shapes carved out of metal.
Gotta say, I have never liked the looks of the LP12. Just looks dowdy. Never liked the looks of SOTA either but that's because of the wood grain - it would clash with the wood in my living room.
A classic example of "form follows function". Nothing about it is "just for looks", except maybe the brushed aluminum switches, yet it is a beautiful piece. I could see it in the MOMA.
You could say the same about the Sony PS-X9; the functionality of it adds beauty where it may lack in esthetics.
beautifully functional and functionally beautiful
but then again...
i guess some people just can't get over the orange...
Well you have to give it to Sony; at least they added a color other than silver, grey, gold or even more black. Maybe they were trying to appeal to our better halves. "Look honey, this one has some color to it!" My wife hints heavily that she would like my gear more if it were pink....
This TA-E86 that I'm using was a US model which was only shipped in grey. The last owner took it upon himself to remove the front cover, have the rack mounts ground off and painted it a sane color, black..... It does look better than the grey :)
Yikes!
The thought makes me swoon.

but sonic performance comes out way ahead. Still, just as for any other audio component, I could not buy a turntable/arm that I considered ugly. Too many good options to make that mistake.
At the same time, if it was purely on appearance, I might own a new Oracle. Or a Teres.

OK, what influence does your significan other influence your choice in TT's as far as looks? Does what room it is placed in have a bearing on the look of your TT? My self, my TT is in the living room and I dont want to look at an ugly TT.....
Owning a Scottrt modded AND custom painted Technics 1600 MK2 and painting my own SL 5300 a metal black,I definitely can appreciate and admire the looks of a turntable.Ditto for the Denons and JVCs(Denon DP 59L,47F,JVC QLY66F,QL Y55F). I wanted to own certain models in each of those brands mentioned due to their direct drive quartz controlled motors as well as automated features first!---Well,performance and sound quality was important, also...What my personal and exact ratio of looks to sound is and vice versa,percentage,etc.,couldn't tell ya---What can I say,I like to listen to a beautiful thing...and may I say I drool at the very sight of many VA members' DIY turntables!---ooh la la, the crafstmanship and mods.Simply put, a turntable can be a fine piece of visual-functional art!I can see where looks can play a big part or influence how some of us choose or purchase a turntable... The Denons and JVCs I own I very much enjoy their 'physical attributes' as well---even moreso after buying them and not just looking at internet turntable porn pics(faux cherry wood laminated plinths and stout or heavily built plinths,dimensions,ultra cool controls and lights,bells,whistles)...Not to mention it also has to do with the fact as humans we are VERY visual and tangible creatures.---To say that looks matter to me none on a turntable,may a tree limb grow out of my facetious proboscis!...It all ties in with the whole vinyl experience and sheer enjoyment of it...I'm just hardwired that way dammit! :P

of the modern tables to be criminal in the looks department. I like a classic TT look, LP12, Thorens, Regas, etc. I do find the Avids to be nice looking, and sounding too. I would NEVER buy a TT based on looks, let alone looks only.
go for the plain brown wrapper. Companies that spent a lot of money on styling didn't have enough money left over for performance.

Well, I stand up next to a mountain; chop it down with the edge of my hand...
I have to admit that as I was researching and shopping for the big upgrade, I did consider the appearance of the turntables I was putting on the short list. Along with price, construction, materials, tone arm compatibility, warranty, reviews, etc.; nonetheless, looks were important.
The irony is that I ended up with a turntable that I didn't consider all that attractive. Now, however, I look at it as a piece of art sitting in my living room. Art that plays wonderful music. Form AND function.

affair with wood for a long time. IMO, the Teres are beautiful TT's and i have wanted one since I first saw the 265. However the Teres TT's have a very good reputation for sounding good also. And i must say that the 340 is living up to that reputation. However, if it did not sound good, I would part with it in a hurry. Its about sound, not looks. Aesthetics are nice but do not rate as much as the sound IMO.

Looks are completely a non-priority to me. It's not as though I am a DJ or someone spinning albums or 45s at a party or function such as a class reunion or reception, where you want to have a decent looking turntable.
I want good sound and a reliable rig. If I constently have to work on a certain TT, find that replacing a cartridge is a bear, then I will look for a better piece.
One thing I am a stickler about. My turntable must be dust and debris free. I've seen TT with layers of old dust on the platter, tonearm and everywhere. Since it's not my TT, I keep my mouth shut, but I mentally am appalled. Keeping a turntable looking clean is a simple process.
Myself, my turntable has the plexiglas dustcover down, and it's covered with a clear plastic protector when it's not in use. That's just me, your habits might differ.

IOW, there's a low probability you would seek out a turntable that was gross looking. So chances are, you would choose an attractive model from a set of attractive models.
Unless of course it was 1:45 A.M, and you didn't have any music yet, then you'd take a Schnauzer home.

to be honest, I consider looks somewhat important. My Orsonics headshell on the Jelco tonearm looks very out of place... weird shape, color mismatch, large. It just looks kind of goofy.
Opus 104
Just kidding. In hind sight I think a black Orsonic headshell would have looked better. I might put a bid in on that one hoping to get it on the cheap but unlikely to win.
Opus 104
Can always sell 'em later on Audiogon or eBay. But they are a bit pricey for sure.
Looks is dead zero last on my list of priorities.
That my Technics SL-1200 looks good is just icing on the cake.
I am curious to know, what is it about the Technics that you think looks good? Below are my aesthetic thoughts, but I am open to other ideas.In black, it looks like other inexpensive turntables.
In silver, it looks 1970s dated.
The speed match dots on the platter are hideous, like a disco ball thing.
I can't justify putting it on a top rack for display. It goes on a below shelf, which makes things physically difficult.

The last thing I would call it is "cheap" looking in comparison to other sub-$1k decks.
"I'll play it and tell you what it is later..." - Miles Davis

...I had a silver plinth topped 1200---the term 'dated' never came to mind as much as 'industrial'--- that Technics'1200 trademark look(not meaning 'ugly industrial' but industrial that it's not only built ruggedly or heavily but that it also still shows up pretty well for the year 2010!)---'retro-modern'?(yeah, I made that up).
When I see the 1200's in which owner's have installed ALL solid blue LED lights, that makes the silver one look smokin' hot(and the black)...and the sparkly,shiny flecked black 1210 M5G Grandmaster always catches my eye when I see the floor model at my local music-guitar-dj shop...Oh, and the strobe dots(other than showing the whole quartz accuracy thing going on) are an added neat wow factor for me...Just my opine.
Whether, I would go so far as to put one of those aluminum colored covers on the top part of the plinth (that someone showed a link here to several days ago) is another matter---not sure if those colored plinth covers are just flashy, gimmicky and overkill or in certain 'designer colors' would enhance or add anything attractive to the whole setup---------Also,I have not seen a Limited Edtion Gold 1200 in person to see if it truly looks 'golden' or gawdy---Though some owners have told me here on the VA that in person it is a positively striking turntable...
Best regards,
Matt

I think the Technics presents an image of quality and solidity. It looks like a serious tool, with its finely finished steel and aluminum parts. Even the adaptor for large-hole 45s is made of machined aluminum. I like the pop-up stylus light (very handy at night/in the dark) and I love watching the strobe dots on the edge of the platter as it's spinning.
I've got a KAB Ortofon ProS40 cartridge on my Technics (most of the time) and it looks wicked cool.

reelsmith's axiom : Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
Knowing what looks good, and desiring the qualities of beauty, requires a developed sense of culture.I bet most here are picky about all material products they buy, not just audio ones.
Some people are born to insist on quality, others to not care. Not care is what leads to fast food, cheap goods, lack of inspirational vision, and the decline of true industry.

"Some people are born to insist on quality, others to not care. Not care is what leads to fast food, cheap goods, lack of inspirational vision, and the decline of true industry."
I don't agree. For one thing, one can be selective in what matters and in where one demands quality. For another, different people have different budgets.
My brother, for example, works very hard as an engineer for Pratt, and his wife is an operations manager there too. Aside from his family and close friends, nothing matters more to him than American industry. He is also very intelligent and well read and about as intellectually curious a person as I know.
But when it comes to home furnishings and consumer "stuff" in general, he really does not care at all. To my wife and me, it's a bit of a shockr when we go into the nice looking suburban colonial where he and his wife and my two nephews live and see the used, beat up and cheap stuff, but we're, frankly, spoiled. Lawyers make more money than engineers and most corporate managers, which is a problem in the U.S. frankly, and my wife and I don't have kids (yet). And, for whatever reason, nice, quality stuff means more to us.

if we are all on the same page?
I think my VPI Scout is really cool looking. Nice clean look that is simple yet solid and pleasing to the eye. I also love the massive vintage look of the Thorens TD126 Mkiii with its thin TP63 low mass arm. I certainly don't think either is gorgeous, or exquisitely elegant looking, but I do like the way they look and that's important.
I have to admit that the vinyl-wrapped mdf look of my old Planar 3 and NAD 533 always left me cold. They sounded good, the Planar 3 in particular, and I kept them each for years, but it was nice to move on to something that I enjoyed watching from time to time as well as listening to.
Perhaps some of the inmates responding to the OP, and perhaps the OP himself, mean "does a table have to be truly beautiful"? In that case, I'd say no.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
Not on the same page, because there are people with hideout basement dens, and people with "out in the open" turntables. Whether it be a bedroom, office, or family room, "out in the open" people need to consider the overall aesthetic integration with the rest of the room.
There are definitely 5 or 6 styles that turntables can be grouped into. Which of these turntable styles to go with is determinated by the style of room.
...someone posted awhile back(or, a few moons ago) a turntable that resembled a toilet bowl or lavatory basin at best---The platter actually had an almost bowl shape to it and the plinth, stand/platform it was on looked like something you could easily place in the bathroom either to wash your face and hands with or to sit on!---I tried to look for the picture on the net but for the life of me cannot remember the manufacturer's name that created such a funky looking high end vinyl 'table setup...That would have been one that would have fit in with the decor de toilette :)

Mine looks pretty good, but nothing special. It's all sound, to me.
I don't look at my turntables (except when necessary) and couldn't care less what they look like.
My Roksan has the looks of a pretty good 70s vintage TT but the looks don't tell what musical capability it has. My machine devistates almost all of the glitzy looking beasts.
Getting down to the topic at hand, the sound far outweighs looks in enjoying music.I usually dont even look at my TT when listening.
