How Many Turntables Have You Owned

Not crazy at all.

I always coveted the Thorens tables and sold many to friends but couldn't squeeze one myself.

I settled for a Philips 312 at the time which was a fun and decent table at 1/3rd the cost, but not a Thorens.

I had a fairly standard issue 1978 era Technics before that, nothing like your new baby though.

By the way, the Philips 312 was a way cool looking table in its day and had a nice sound as well. I regret selling it years ago and not keeping it around. I still have some cassette recordings around that I made with it back then that remind me what a nice sounding table that beauty really was.

Here are pictures of a Philiops 312 if anyone is interested:

I owned a Philips 312. Very cool table. It was notoriously sensitive to vibration, however...not ideal for a hard rock freak like me (but I loved the table anyway).

I sold it about 15 years ago for $25.

The mention of early Thorens TT brings back memories.I think it was the mid to late 60's.I was at the long gone Newmark & Lewis chain looking for a new TT.The salesman said he was selling his personal unit.A Thorens with Supex MC cartridge. Instead I bought a Marantz table which was then owned by Superscope.
