Personal turntable/cartridge evolution


I just ran across the two year old personal speaker evolution and personal amp evolution threads. I am amazed that so far nobody has ever posted the question with respect to turntables/cartridge combinations.

Same deal as the other threads. I will start with my short odyssey through the worl of turntables:

1993 Linn Basik/Akito/K9
1998 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Elys
2000 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Denon DL103
2004 Michell Tecnodec/RB600/Ortofon Kontrapunkt A and Denon DL103R

Enjoy!

1978-81 Technics Belt drive and cheap Ortofon cartridge.
1981 or 82 - Rega Planar 3, Grace 727 , Grace F9e or Ruby.
1994-95 - VPI JR with RB300 and Blue Point - then a Grado Sonata
Around 1999-2000 I started playing around with an SP 10 MK II in a 175 pound McCurdy Plinth, Mounted an RB 250 SE - Incogniti wired and Mitchell counter-weight, I then had a massive plinth built for it and ran several different arms - including SME IV , SME Series III and a few others. Then settled on a 3012 MKII - Shure V15 Type III , IV and M97HE.
In 2003 I started on my first L75 Lenco project(with a friend's help)
And now My latest 2 arm Lenco is nearly complete, with an MG-1 air bearing arm And my trusty SME 3012, A Platinum and DL103 on the MG-1 and a variety of Shures for the SME 3012 MKII and its many headshells.
I think this may be my last turntable!!
