Personal Turntable Evolution


They have this "evolution" thread for Amplifiers and for Speakers, I think it would be interesting to find out what Turntables everyone has owned in their audio journey.

For me, its:
1. Dual 1225
2. Bang & Olufsen RX w/MMC5 cartridge
3. Denon DP59L
4. Rega Planar 3 with Accutex MM cartridge
5. Kenwood KD-5070 w/Audio Technica cartridge
6. Harman Kardon T45 w/Ortofon OA-30 cartridge

I tend to keep TT's for a long time compared to amps and speakers and currently own both 5 & 6. I had my Rega for over 20 years and don't see ever going back to a fully manual turntable - just too lazy. Look forward to seeing your comments. Thanks

My first table was some forgettable BSR belt drive table (1977)
My second table was a Kenwood KD1033 (1977 - ?, gave it to a relative)
Next- some Onkyo nonsense (1980 - ?, gave it to a friend, still in use!)
Next- Thorens TD166 MK 4 (1985-1990)
Next- Rega Planar 3 (1990-1998)
Next- Linn LP12 which I've owned since 1998
