How many turntable’s have you owned?


I’ve read from a few on all the speakers and electronic’s you have owned,   But no Turntables

so, What turntables have you owned & what arms came with them ?

also, what sound character came with the setup?

1966: Garrard Lab-80 w/included arm. Pickering V15 Type III cartridge
1973(?): Pioneer PL-71 w/included arm. Cartridge ?
1985(?): Harmon-Kardon w/included arm. Cartridge ?
10/17/1986: SOTA Star Sapphire (vacuum) w/Eminent Technology ET-2 arm. Madrigal Carnegie One cartridge (original, still in use!) but looking at the Audio-Technica AT-ART9 with separate new ET-2 arm.
Lots of digital stuff starting in late 1983. More CD players than I can count. DACs? Theta DSPro basic when they first came out. Now a new Schiit Audio Yggdrasil with which I'm happy. Vinyl still wins. No doubt. 
1973: Dual something-or-other
1981: Dual 1225
1985: Rega Planar 2
1985: Pink Triangle ( couldn`t get rid of the Rega fast enough)
1989: Kuzma Stabi
2003: Micro Seiki RX 1500
2010: SME 20/2
2015: Verdier la Platine
Early 80s:
Dual 508 with Ortofon cartridge. This was my 1st turntable in in 1st system in late middle school or early high school.

Mid 80s:
Switched to a Denon DP35F with a Grado Cartridge. Gave to a university friend in early 90s. Nothing to the next step

June 2019:
Linn LP12 Akurate with Radikal motor. Also had a custom plinth made for the build. Very happy with the results and even my hard core digital file and streaming friends are blown away by the sonic results. Another plus is there are a few more upgrades I can do, so when the tweak bug hits I have options. 

 


Too many turntables to remind me of them all....
