Hmm, well here it goes.
1978 - Technics SL-B20 later upgraded with Ortofon VMS20E
1980 - ADC 1600 DD deck with alloy "Black Widow" like arm and ADC QLM 36
1981 - Thorens TD160/Hadcock GH228 - Decca London Maroon + Ortofon MC10 MC cart - sold ADC deck
1982 - upgraded cart to London Decca Gold (Garrott Brothers rebuild)
1983 - Bought my first Thorens TD124/II in SME plinth with SME 3009 - sold SME, bolted on Hadcock. Sold TD160
1984 - Second deck - Logic DM101 with Audio Technica (Signet) AT1100 and Micro-Seiki LC80W MC cart
1985 - Added another deck! - this time a Thorens TD125/II with Grace 707
1990 - Bought second TD124/II. this time with Rega RB300 - ran Dynavector DV23R Ruby
Ran for 10 years with TD124, Logic DM101, TD125
2002 - Bought my final deck (???) - Platine Verdier with Schroeder Model 2 and Allaerts MC1B - sold the Logic , TD124 and TD125 (by the way lost one TD124 in a house moveback in the 1990s!!)
Still got my Hadcock arm, two London Decca Carts as well as broken MC10, DV23R and LC80W (kids. don't you know?)
Now just spinning LPs with a glass (or bottle) of wine. Think I've now had enough.
