How many turntables have you owned?

Technically 4

1. Zenith Mini Wedge - (first system in bedroom when I was a kid) - late 70s
2. Dual 508 - (part of my first proper separates system) - early 80s
3. Denon DP35F - (first upgrade) - mid 80s
4. Linn LP12 - (bought in 2019 and is now almost full spec)

The Linn will be the last TT although it may get upgrades as Linn introduce items I am interested in.

for those interested

US patent 1,663,884 to H.C. Harrison (Western Electric), granted Mar. 27, 1928

Moving coil mono cartridge

Blumlein was granted a patent for a moving coil cutter in 1933

My first was a Dual/Grado Black combo, followed by a Yamaha/Ortofon OM 20 in the 70's/80's.   It was followed by a maxed out LP-12/Benz/Shelter 90X from the 90's thru 2020.  My current and last TT is a Basis Signature/Umami Red and I am loving it everyday until golf season.  I had my dad's Miracord refurbished and use it to play vintage 78's.

8 in total.

During high school (early 80s): Garrard AT6 (my father’s old table), Technics SL-B1, B10, and B100 (used for my DJ business).

In college (late 80s): Heybrook TT2, Linn Basik Plus, Sumiko Blue Point. Foolishly sold in 1990 when I thought I would never return to LPs.

Returned to vinyl in 2020 by resurrecting by father’s AR XB. Shortly thereafter bought a Rega Planar 2 and was gifted a Technics SL1200mk2, which I refurbished. I currently run all three.
