How many turntables have you owned?

Let's see.

Pioneer (PL0112 IIRC)

Systemdek IIX

Oracle Delphi 2

Linn LP12

VPI TNT V

Sota Cosmos

Roksan Radius 5

Over 40 years (last three still owned)

Six

Realistic LAB-400

Rega P3

Clearaudio Concept

Lenco L70 (current an only one in use)

2 Lenco L75’s - about to be rebuilt/modded 

L70 that is in use, and heavily modded is far better (kinda obvious, I know) than any of the prior ones. The L75’s are going to be given the same treatment as the L70 (only better…) and hopefully sold .

I think 8. Two in current use.

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.
