Your turntable history


When did you get your first turntable and what’s been your turntable history since then ?

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.....

I had cash flow in junior high and high school because of a WP paper route. Then cash and access through work as a salesman in a stereo store as an undergrad.

BSR turntable (1970)

Dual 1215S in first audio system (Sansui 2000x and large Advents; 1972)

Philips GA 212 (1975)

Ariston RD11s with Grace 707 tone arm (1976)

Fossilized in place since, except for cartridges- 50 years!

Started with a very early Pro-Ject. Then a Pro-Ject T1 EVO. Niw a VPI Prime with a Hana Umami Red. 

Dual 1019. Yamaha B6. Thorens 320. Clearaudio Champion Level 2.  Had a B&O in there too. Still use the Clearaudio and Yamaha. At some point hope to get the Dual refurbished
