How Many Turntables Have You Owned

It is interesting to notice that many of us have made the upgrade path from early TT designs to very high end actual TT and finaly rediscover the virtues of the old designs like Lenco, TD 124, Garrard 301, EMT,... and it is thrue, the sound of my father's TD 124/SSME 3009/Shure M-95 ED is very similar to my VPI TNT fully modded/ graham Phantom/Allaerts Finish. And I did not made any modification to the TD 124. Apparently idler wheel designs are most popular and for good reason.

1. Linn LP12 with lingo , Rega rb300, Lyra Dorian
2. SOTA Sapphire, Sumiko arm, Grace ruby
3. Garrard something, Garrard arm, Pickering cartridge (terrible)

Hi,

I have owned literally dozens. Most were of a fairly pedestrian nature, though. I have maybe a couple of dozen in the stable now. They range from a Linn to a lowly Sony idler. I'm probably the only one around here who has cut apart a plastic AKAI just to see what made it tick. Actually, it barely ticked at all, so I didn't learn anything from that exercise. LOL
