How many turntables have you owned?


My analog journey started in the 70's- I'm on my 6th turntable, which I have owned since 1998. I think it's my final turntable!

128x128zavato

My first was a Dual/Grado Black combo, followed by a Yamaha/Ortofon OM 20 in the 70's/80's.   It was followed by a maxed out LP-12/Benz/Shelter 90X from the 90's thru 2020.  My current and last TT is a Basis Signature/Umami Red and I am loving it everyday until golf season.  I had my dad's Miracord refurbished and use it to play vintage 78's.

8 in total.

During high school (early 80s): Garrard AT6 (my father’s old table), Technics SL-B1, B10, and B100 (used for my DJ business).

In college (late 80s): Heybrook TT2, Linn Basik Plus, Sumiko Blue Point. Foolishly sold in 1990 when I thought I would never return to LPs.

Returned to vinyl in 2020 by resurrecting by father’s AR XB. Shortly thereafter bought a Rega Planar 2 and was gifted a Technics SL1200mk2, which I refurbished. I currently run all three.
