As a teenager in the '70s (don't you love "That '70s Show"?) I had a nice Pioneer I received as a gift from a family friend.
1985 The AR turntable with Shure VR15 cartridge
1989 Sota Saphire, Alphason Xenon, AT OC9 cartridge
2003 Micro Seiki RX-1500, SME 3012R, Shelter 901
2006 Micro Seiki SX-8000, SME 3012R, Ortofon SPU 85th Anniversary cartridge
I also discovered a neglected Garrard 301 in my parents closet last year. I brought it home to renovate it (someday).
Best,
Scott
