Early 80s:
Dual 508 with Ortofon cartridge. This was my 1st turntable in in 1st system in late middle school or early high school.
Mid 80s:
Switched to a Denon DP35F with a Grado Cartridge. Gave to a university friend in early 90s. Nothing to the next step
June 2019:
Linn LP12 Akurate with Radikal motor. Also had a custom plinth made for the build. Very happy with the results and even my hard core digital file and streaming friends are blown away by the sonic results. Another plus is there are a few more upgrades I can do, so when the tweak bug hits I have options.
