How Many Turntables Have You Owned


As for me... My first that I can remember was a Webcor - part of their Holidy package. then... Garrard, Benjamin Miracord, Dual, Bogen, Thorens TD 124, and 121, Rek o Kut, LinnSondek, Grado, Rega, SME, VPI... I probably have forgotten a few
128x128stringreen
Not counting the Close-n-Play the folks bought for us when we were kids, I count about six.

1973 - BSR something-another with a Pickering cartridge.
1975 - An original AR turntable with a Shure cartridge bought from Dixie Hi-Fi (now Circuit City).
1980? - B&O something (downgrade from AR)
1983? - Kenwood KD500 with a Magnepan tonearm and Adcom MC cartridge.
1989 - Linn Sondek LP12 with a Ittok tomarm and AT OC9 cartridge.
2006 - VPI HW-19 Mk4 with ET-2 and AT33PTG cartridge.
1st was a garrard, then..Pioneer PLD, Thorens TD124, VPI
Aries, VPI TNT-VHR, I still own the old Thorens TD124 But
I need to do some maintenance/overhauling on it.
the TNT-VHR is still in use, But I "Transformed" it.
It's got a 3.75" Cocobollo platter/Teres bearing, A Teres
reference motor (12v) a home made cocobollo Arm board with
VTA adjuster, & a Schroder model 2 Tonearm with Music maker3 cartridge. Analog forEVER baby.
Phew.... Not chronological: first some Philips record changer, then a Garrard (don't know which), Lenco L75, Akai AP-D2 (I think), Thorens TD166 II, Thorens TD125/SME 3009, Thorens TD 104, Micro Seiki BL10, Thorens TD160 Super/SME IIIS, Sony P-X55, Pioneer PL518-X and finally I settled in a Goldmund Studietto/Goldmund T5/Kiseki Agaat combination.
Took a break for about ten years. But besides that, over the last 30 or so years, I can remember 10. I have three now.
