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!

Hi Chadnliz, thanks for the note. Glad to know you've been able to hear a Walker 'table. Lloyd's phono stage is pretty friggin' amazing, as well.

Cheers,
Current system:
VPI Aries with JMW-12 and the Dynavector Karat 17D

Previously:
Technics SL-200B with cheapo Ortofon cartridge
Basis 1400 with Rega 250 RB tonarm and Grado Sonata
VPI HW-19 with Sumiko Premier FT-3 and Dynavector Karat 17D

And somewhere in there I murdered a Grado Master with an ill-placed soldering iron.
Voyd 0.5/Helius Orion 3/Audio Technica 0C-10
Michell Orbe/SME V/Lyra Clavis DC

Now:

SME Model 20A/Lyra Helikon

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
Forgot to include that I set-up a dedicated mono set-up last year with a Ortofon SPU mono on a Max-282 tonearm.
