How Many Turntables Have You Owned

Dual 1219, Linn LP 12, Aristion RD11s, Dual 1229 (with Grace 747 Tone Arm... yes it can be done) I missed the slam that my 1219 had with Idler drive. You just don't get the same difintion with belt drive. Also, I listen to alot of solo piano, and again the difference between good belt drive and good idler drive is amazing.. Dual 1229 with the Grace 747 is my table for life now..

Oh, I guess that means I have had only four in 32 years. :)

It is interesting to notice that many of us have made the upgrade path from early TT designs to very high end actual TT and finaly rediscover the virtues of the old designs like Lenco, TD 124, Garrard 301, EMT,... and it is thrue, the sound of my father's TD 124/SSME 3009/Shure M-95 ED is very similar to my VPI TNT fully modded/ graham Phantom/Allaerts Finish. And I did not made any modification to the TD 124. Apparently idler wheel designs are most popular and for good reason.
