How many turntables have you owned?

In the old days BC (before children) I went through 8 turntables before I got my Sota Sapphire at age 27. AC (after children) there has been one more so far, the Sota Cosmos Vacuum. From here getting a significant increase in performance and usability is going to be expensive, very expensive. Right now I have more important fish to fry.

One. It was a Beogram 1700 with the low mass tonearm. It made me hate turntables. God bless the CD! 😁

Ok I fibbed, I have a collection of Zero 100s. They work perfect, they sound like Zero 100s too. That is one bad sounding TT. In custom plinths though. :-) I'm not kidding I bought one for 15.00 it had a MC Grado cart that was worth 600.00. I still have that cart. I have a TD224 that I had working perfect too. Looked new.. I like the weird ones.

TD124 & SME 12" #1

TD2030 & SME IV #2..

TD121-124s and Russco are a ton of fun.. at least a couple dozen.

HUGE! I made that plinth out of 1" red oak stair flats. 35.00 usd. I'm frugal. I paid 400.00 for 5 Russco. This is one of that 5. FM station pulls in the Bakersfield area in the late 90s
