As for me... My first that I can remember was a Webcor - part of their Holidy package. then... Garrard, Benjamin Miracord, Dual, Bogen, Thorens TD 124, and 121, Rek o Kut, LinnSondek, Grado, Rega, SME, VPI... I probably have forgotten a few
Went from a basic, cheap Gerard to a Techniques SL3300 to a Benjamin 4000 linear tracking, front loader, to a Dual CS5000 to a Rega P3 to my current modded VPI TNT.
I CURRENTLY OWN 5 TECHNICS OF VARIOUS MODELS. MY FIRST BETTER TURNTABLE BEFORE THE TECHNICS WAS A GARRARD, MODEL SL 40 I THINK. A PRETTY GOOD TURNTABLE, WAS BOUGHT CHEAP IN 1978 BUT WORKED WELL. MY FIRST TECHNICS WAS BOUGHT FOR $250 IN 1979 AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IT STILL WORKS BUT THERE IS HUM FROM THE RIGHT AND LEFT CHANNEL CORDS AND NEEDS FIXING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TECHNICS TO ANYONE. THERE IS VERY PRICEY STUFF OUT THERE THAT I REALLY CAN'T IDENTIFY WITH BUT TECHNICS IS VERY GOOD "MID LEVEL" TURNTABLES AND LAST A LONG TIME.
4 in 30 years: A Sony direct drive PS 515 in 1978(still working !). Project Debut bought in 2001. Clearaudio Emotion - 2002 ( the vinyl bug was starting to bite). Michell Gyro - 2007. In 16 months this has been upgraded from a Gyro SE all the way to an Orbe. Cheers
