How Many Turntables Have You Owned

First was a Clarion and The Doors LP. Jr. High School.
Pioneer, Rega, Music Hall, then got hooked on the fabulous Lenco idler-drive.
Listened to many more from audio clubs to CES, and still feel the Lenco stirring my soul more than others.
I am considering going to the dark side- the Fat Bob S. I love the look and I think it might, key word is MIGHT, be a contender.
Then again, it sells for 3-15 times more than a Lenco!!!

Owned 16

15, including the 7 that I currently own, 5 of which are set up and being used.

I have not owned many turntables in my lifetime. I had a Thorens 160 for a couple of years in the early 70's. I then bought a Linn LP12 in about 74. I still own the Linn LP12 but I now exclusively use a VPI Aries I instead which I bought a while back.

Coltrane1,

I agree with you on the old JVC higher end units. I drooled over them as a young teen back in the day. I finally bought myself a JVC QL-Y5F last year and love it for its design, looks, usability and yes outstanding sound quality. I'd put it up again most anything made in the sub $2000 range today. Remember back in the day it sold for around $600-$650. Factor in inflation and it would sell for something like $1200+ as new today.

I keep an eye out now for such classics, not just from JVC but from its peers at the time.
