What's been your turntable ownership over the years?


Dual 1225

I started off with a BSR turntable and then foolishly got rid of a Garrard deck my dad gave me to ’upgrade’ to the well reviewed Rega 3.

Eventually I upgraded again to the even better reviewed Linn LP12 - and that particular headache inducing deck was one ’upgrade’ too many.

However I am not beaten yet. I would love to return to vinyl one day via either the obvious Technics SL1200G (or even GR), or if I ever get enough free time to play with audio again, one of Ed Villchur’s original AR decks.

In chronological order:

  • Japanese belt drive with S shaped tone arm
  • Marantz 6300
  • Dual 505-2 (wood base)
  • Heybrook TT2 w/LVX arm
  • Rega Planar 3 (current model) Sold after 1 month... not near as transparent as the Heybrook
My very first was a Technics automatic the model of which I forget—but it was mine. 
Then I moved to an Audio Technica 1240. 
Then I moved to a Pioneer PLX-1000. 
Then I moved to my current (2) Technics SL-1210GAEs (which I doubt I’ll ever, ever let go), and an upgraded Rega P3 for fun.
