Personal analog evolution

Forgive me if this is repeating an old thread, but an archive search revealed nothing.

Having read a lot here recently about re-entries into analog, requests for comparisons of pretty expensive hardware, etc., I'm curious about the analog evolution many of you have taken over the years.

I have virtually none to speak of:

- my dad had a garrard changer,
- I purchased a BIC belt drive in junior high school,
- Bought a Technics SL20 / Shure M94 into Yamaha receiver when I first got married, and
- Recently moved up to VPI HW19 MKII / RB-600 / Dynavector 20XH into Plinius integrated.

I feel like I've been rescued from an deserted island, but am also sure there are many more improvements I can plan for over time. Curious to see how you all got to where you are now, where you see your system moving towards.

at the age of 3 -- the old gromophone played 78rpm.
after complete dissasembling it due to curiosity i was rewaded by
tube radiola(lp-player combined with tuner amp and speakers in one huge box) at the age of 5.
it could play 33,45,78.
than
Arktur belt drive lp-player(aka dual with built-in phono) with AT something cartridge with replacable needle and pitch control.
Technics SL-something DD turntable with Stanton cartridge.
Rega planar 3/RB300/Elys than Benz Glider...
Michell Gyro SE/Incognito RB300/Lyra Helikon regular and Benz M0.9 as a back-up and certainly with help of VPI HW16.5 and other cleaning tweaks.
Future DIY modification onto my current turntable will certainly due.
