How Many Turntables Have You Owned


As for me... My first that I can remember was a Webcor - part of their Holidy package. then... Garrard, Benjamin Miracord, Dual, Bogen, Thorens TD 124, and 121, Rek o Kut, LinnSondek, Grado, Rega, SME, VPI... I probably have forgotten a few
128x128stringreen
When i was very young a cheap dual , than the so called " better format" arrived , a couple of cd players including a wadia 581 ( biggest waist of money in my high end career probably only bettered by 2 inch thick cables )
I then found happpines with a VPI scoutmaster sign. (currently) found out that the phono amp is the key.
Some where in jan 2011 i ' ll be getting the newest SME the 20/ 3 A (picture in my system)
In order of purchase from 1965 on:

Garrard 401
Thorens 124 II
Sony 4000(?)
Thorens 160 super
Linn LP-12
Audiomeca (Lurne)J1
Kuzma Stabi Ref.

Regards,
I don't think my close & play counts even though it was my first TT some 45 years ago.

Three that I would call highend starting around 1983 when I first got bitten by this hobby.

1. Micro Seiki BL91.
2. VPI HW-19 upgraded to MKIV with Sama motor.
3. Basis Debut Diamond with vacume.
Starting in 1969 with a BSR (Yuck), I moved onto Garrard, Benjamin Miracord(s), Thorens (3), AR, Dual (2), Pioneer, Sony, Thorens again, Technics, HK/Rabco, Yamaha, Technics again, Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics/KAB, Vpi.

All in all I think It is somewhere around 25.

Woops, I forgot I had a Phillips GA-212 too!
