Personal turntable/cartridge evolution

Dual 1019, 1219

Wish List: Teres 150 (or better) or a Scheu Premier II with Morch DP6 or SME 309 or something along those lines.
Like the aesthetics of the Scheu better than the Teres. Like the Teres due to the great owner support and Chris Brady is always there for his customers. Never heard of an unhappy Teres or Scheu owner. The Teres is a better value if it must be resold, too, I think.

It's just that people have short memories.

1971 - 1973 Garrard SP25 MkIII with Shure M44E cartridge.

1974 - 1975 Pioneer PL 12D with Ortofon MC10 cartridge

1976 - 1976 Thorens TD 124 with SME 3009Mk II arm and Fidelity Research FR1 MK III cartridge.

1977 - 1981 Linn Sondek LP 12 with Mission 774 arm and FR1 cartridge as above.

1977 - 1981 Thorens TD 124 with SME 3009 MkII arm and FR1 cartridge, used interchangeably from above.

1982 - 1995 No vinyl, no serious system. Era of great sadness.

1995 - 2003 Heavily modified Linn Sondek with OL outboard power supply and DC motor, Cetech carbon fiber subchassis,black Linn Ittok LVII arm and Koetsu Black cartridge.

2003 - present. modded Goldring GL 75 with OL modded Rega 250 and above Koetsu Black. This is finally Nirvana I think.

3) Rega Planar 25 1999-
