How Many Turntables Have You Owned


As for me... My first that I can remember was a Webcor - part of their Holidy package. then... Garrard, Benjamin Miracord, Dual, Bogen, Thorens TD 124, and 121, Rek o Kut, LinnSondek, Grado, Rega, SME, VPI... I probably have forgotten a few
128x128stringreen
Technics SL QD33
Thorens TD 520
Garrard Lab 80
Garrard Zero 100
Garrard Z2000B
Dual 1009
Dual 1229Q
Dual 701
Dual CS 5000
Denon DP 62L

And presently, I have but one and only ... Thorens TD 318
1) 1968: Dual 1009 mounted on top of a Harman Kardon SC-7 Component Control Center (an all-in-one wood-cased receiver)
2) 1978: Bang & Olufson Beogram 2402
3) 1982: Linn LP12 (still spinning)

My first true audiophile experience was "snapping" on B&O's most expensive cartridge, it had a diamond cantilever!, and actually hearing what was hidden in that groove. I was hooked.
Dual 1219 which I stupidly got rid of for the Linn LP12, which I never cared for, then the Aristion RD11s which I liked a little better than the Linn and finally a Dual 1229 with a Grace 747 Tonearm which I am NEVER parting with...

Currently I have Clearaudio Bluemotion, Thorens TD145MKii, Dual 1219, Dual 1019, and Dual CS530, the last two not in perfect working order. ;)
It is amazing that the Thorens and Dual 1219 works still fine due to their age.
Geez, Dual sure did sell a lot of turntables!

My 27 year old Dual 1264 is still going strong in my second system with a fine sounding Goldring MM cart of some sort.
