Grand Total is 10, but I'd bet I missed 1 or 2

Three.

First one was brought back from the U.S. by my grandfather when I was a kid living in Asia. It was the little plastic box with these little plastic discs that plays music. :-)

Second one was a Technic I bought right after high school. CDs were coming in, and LPs were phasing out. Bought one for like $40 (clearance) and an Audio Technica cartridge. Never got to use it.

Third and current one is the Michell Orbe SE + SME V + Shelter 901. Heard an analog setup several years ago at a hi-fi show. My jaws dropped to the ground, so I started down the analog path soon after.

Been looking at my fourth table. But it costs over $10k used. I don't think I'm that crazy yet. Kid needs to go to college in the future....

Since early 70's: AR with AR tonearm, then Transcriptors Reference with Vestigial tonearm, then Thorens TD125 with Keith Monks tonearm then Alfason tonearm, then Sota Star Sapphire III with Alfason at first and then later the Triplanar, then Notts Hyperspace with Triplanar, now Lenco L75 in giant CLD plinth w/Triplanar. Each of these was at least a little better than the one that went before. I may have forgotten one or two that I owned back in the 70s or 80s. Currently also own a Garrard 301 sans plinth and a Technics SP10 MkII also sans plinth. I plan to do a Lenco/Garrard/Technics shoot-out and pick one (or two) to keep.

Lewm, you caused me to remember my Transcriptor with the Vestigial. I never knew anyone else with one. I also forgot my Sao Win turntable.
