How Many Turntables Have You Owned


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
128x128stringreen
1) AR XA with Grace G707 arm
2) AR turntable with Grace arm
3) VPI HW19 Mk II with Rega RB-300
4) Linn LP-12 with OL modified RB-250
5) Lenco L-75/CLD plinth with OL modified RB-250
6) Technics SL-7 for dining area system

Working on Garrard 301/CLD plinth and bigger Lenco plinth. Still have numbers 4-6.
Dual 1219, Linn LP 12, Aristion RD11s, Dual 1229 (with Grace 747 Tone Arm... yes it can be done) I missed the slam that my 1219 had with Idler drive. You just don't get the same difintion with belt drive. Also, I listen to alot of solo piano, and again the difference between good belt drive and good idler drive is amazing.. Dual 1229 with the Grace 747 is my table for life now..

Oh, I guess that means I have had only four in 32 years. :)
