A few more that I forgot.


Gosh, back in the days (70s and 80s) I can only remember brands--couple of Sonys (including one where the plinth/platter/arrm were in a motorized drawer, BIC, Kenwood.  

When I got serious about vinyl (late 90s), this has been the lineup:

ProJect (can't recall the model but it was in their early years and was a sprung design).

Wilson-Benesch Circle w/ACT 0.5 Arm

Currently, an Avid Volvere to SME IV, Dynavector 20x2L and Avid Pellar.
1981 - bought Rega planar II

Over the years I applied one tweak after another

Now I have this...

The only original part still left is the cover

Wouldn’t trade it for the world - it is superb :-)

I also would NOT repeat that same "exercise" if I had the time over again...

- I’d buy a VPI

Or maybe one of those cute little tables from U-Turn - very nice

Cheers
