Personal turntable/cartridge evolution

I just ran across the two year old personal speaker evolution and personal amp evolution threads. I am amazed that so far nobody has ever posted the question with respect to turntables/cartridge combinations.

Same deal as the other threads. I will start with my short odyssey through the worl of turntables:

1993 Linn Basik/Akito/K9
1998 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Elys
2000 Rega Planar 3/RB300/Denon DL103
2004 Michell Tecnodec/RB600/Ortofon Kontrapunkt A and Denon DL103R

Enjoy!

Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature turntable is the end of my turntable journey, too. And the Magic Diamond cartridge is superb. Congratulations, Slipknot1!

Prior to the Walker here:
VPI 19 MkIII with ET2 tonearm, Grado Reference
B&0 4002 linear tracking turntable

Yes CW that was the same arm I have. I am having a bit of trouble getting the arm to lower enough so that it is level at the headshell.
Rushton and slip, my friend has the Walker....very nice! I was lucky enough to be able to help him get Loyds new phono board for $4000 off list.

Hi Chadnliz, thanks for the note. Glad to know you've been able to hear a Walker 'table. Lloyd's phono stage is pretty friggin' amazing, as well.

Cheers,

Current system:
VPI Aries with JMW-12 and the Dynavector Karat 17D

Previously:
Technics SL-200B with cheapo Ortofon cartridge
Basis 1400 with Rega 250 RB tonarm and Grado Sonata
VPI HW-19 with Sumiko Premier FT-3 and Dynavector Karat 17D

And somewhere in there I murdered a Grado Master with an ill-placed soldering iron.
