Your turntable history

BSR 4-speed changer in a Steelman mono/AM portable (suitcase style) for Christmas at 13 in 1955.

Dual 1009 in my first component stereo system, 1966.

List similar to neonknight's, although possibly not as long.

Technics SL-1200G current and likely last.

Great post query and responses!

I love to read what others have/had…especially the notes in each model. The open candor of the members of this blog is great, with rarely a case of another member snapping on a post.

Please keep it rolling….at near 70 I am still looking for vintage TT and cartridge ideas, especially those that are deemed by many as quality and are affordable.

My first deck Summer of 78 was a Denon DP-790 W and a Grado G2 with an upgraded stylus assy … wow

after that an array ..

notables:

Gyrodeck w glass platter, Signet arm n TK9

SOTA Sapphire w an array of arms from Audioquest, Sumiko culminating in a Souther linear tracker. Remember the AQ-404 high output MC ?… sweet midrange w Quad ESL… graduated to a Dynavector Ruby….( and Decca ribbons )

after that a long spell of working and not focusing on analog…

more recently 

Basis 1400 rip AJ Conti

Two Denon DP-75 

two Brinkmann Bardo w 3 arms available including Triplaner, Brinkmann and and Ortofon RS 309D ….and both the performance SS and RonT II tube power supply 

hopefully the road goes on forever….

Indeed.  A big loss.

It would be my pleasure to go through my turntable history from 1978 - 2026, but alias, there is an AI Bot here that removes my posts for no real reason.....
