How Many Turntables Have You Owned

Yes, see above

Since 1973, seven: Dual 1214, Beogram something, Yamaha PF-1000, Michell Orbe SE, Nantais Lenco, Nantais Reference Lenco, Clearaudio Innovation Wood. All but the last two are gone.

Not too many:

Some Pacific Stereo Quadraflex housebrand TT
Sony PSX800

THEN A BUNCH OF CRAPPY CD PLAYERS-- which caused me to stop listening to music. Then 12 years ago I started again:

Music Hall MMF2
Rega P3
Rega P25
Linn LP12
Rek-o-Kut L34
Michell Orbe
Linn LP12
Amazon Model 2 (currently very happy!)

Yes, I have listened to them all. I think the Cosmos IV is the best overall, the Fat Bob is the most dynamic and the Delphi V is the most musical, if that helps. Those 3 are all very close.

Then it drops off to the delphi III, Alexandria and Sota Star III. Then to Empire, Sony, Project. In each group, the cartridge would be the deciding factor.

I use SME 309 and 345 on the Cosmos and Oracle, Audiomods IV on the Fat Bob.
