Personal Turntable Evolution

They have this "evolution" thread for Amplifiers and for Speakers, I think it would be interesting to find out what Turntables everyone has owned in their audio journey.

For me, its:
1. Dual 1225
2. Bang & Olufsen RX w/MMC5 cartridge
3. Denon DP59L
4. Rega Planar 3 with Accutex MM cartridge
5. Kenwood KD-5070 w/Audio Technica cartridge
6. Harman Kardon T45 w/Ortofon OA-30 cartridge

I tend to keep TT's for a long time compared to amps and speakers and currently own both 5 & 6. I had my Rega for over 20 years and don't see ever going back to a fully manual turntable - just too lazy. Look forward to seeing your comments. Thanks

Rega rp10

Most were lateral moves searching for Nirvana with late 70's pressings. Rega produced the biggest upgrade.

Since about 1969:
Dual 1019

Lenco + Technics SP10 Mk3 + Kenwood L07D + Denon DP80 + Victor TT101
(These were acquired sequentially over 3-4 years, each one without selling the previous, except for selling the SP10 Mk2A, so I have a "collection".)
