I started with ''the best ever'' LP 12 and used with the wrong tonearm

(FR-64 S) for about 10 years. Then moved to P.Lurnes Audiomeca

J1 which was a kind of ''liberation'' from kneeling under the LP 12

for spring adjustments. Then got a  ''better Audiomeca'' namely

Kuzma Stabi Reference and added SP 10, mk2 as participant

in the DD contra-revolution. So in comparison with my carts

collection  very modest TT 's number.

My TT changes also have been very modest, 7 in 30+ years; electronics and speakers get changed most often and average out to be once a season or so if you count all the changes made.

Technics SP10 Mk3
Victor TT101

This is very rough chronological order since 1970.  The last 5 on the list are still in my possession, up and running.  None of them is bone stock (especially my very highly modified Lenco) in terms of plinths or accessories.  Lenco, Victor, Kenwood, and Mk3 in play most often.

As you might guess, until the turn of this century, I was pretty faithful to one turntable or another for long periods of time.  The internet has ruined me.
