Personal turntable/cartridge evolution


I just ran across the two year old personal speaker evolution and personal amp evolution threads. I am amazed that so far nobody has ever posted the question with respect to turntables/cartridge combinations.

Same deal as the other threads. I will start with my short odyssey through the worl of turntables:

1993 Linn Basik/Akito/K9
1998 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Elys
2000 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Denon DL103
2004 Michell Tecnodec/RB600/Ortofon Kontrapunkt A and Denon DL103R

Enjoy!

restock
1984 Luxman P-406/built in tonearm/some P-Mount Signet
2004 OL Aurora Gold/OL Silver/Shelter 301
Music Hall MMF-2
Rega P3-2000
Music Hall MMF-5
SOTA Moonbeam
Rega P5

Plus a bunch of junk tables in the 80's & 90's.

Will be sticking with the P5 for a while - really like it with the Rega Exact cartridge.

2002 Rega P2 w/Denon DL160

Fun seeing names/decks from my college past floated about - BIC, Philips, Dual etc - makes me think of old friends (no, literally, not figuratively) moreso than the decks themselves ;-)
