How Many Turntables Have You Owned

07-16-13: Manitunc
Have added a couple of Technics SP10mk2, a PTP Lenco L75, a Sony PS-X65, a Clearaudio Performance, a Basis 2001, a Collaro, an Empire 498 and I'm sure some others. Probably have owned at least 50 over the years, and at least 20 presently.

Manitunc – if during a Storage Wars episode they open a locker containing nothing but TT’s I will think of you.

I have my tables strewn all over the house, so I dont see them all at once. It I did, I might think I had a problem, fetish or addiction.

I have had four in this order...

1. BSR McDonald with ceramic cartridge. I think it the was the POS (piece of shit) 5000 model.

2. Pioneer PL12D with a AT12E. My first real table!

3. Technics SL1800 with an Ortofon VMS20E. My first DD table.

4. Pro-Ject RM5.1SE with a Sumiko Blue Point No. 2. Back to Black 30 years later!

Can't remember the name but it was an Ariston table with a uni-pivot arm. No retainers of any kind. The arm just sat on a spike. Next was a Technics direct drive. Then an Oracle Alexandria with an FR-12 and Dynavector Ruby, and finally an Oracle Paris/arm with various carts.

Paraneer, If you are going to write out "piece of shit", there is no need for "POS". (Kidding.)

Paraneer an Csontos, you are nowhere near sick enough to participate in this thread, if those are your respective lifelong lists of turntables, unless you are both no more than 30 years old.
