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!

I'm starting to take some serious steps into vinyl, although I've been collecting and listening to LPs for almost 12 years.

1995-1996 - Some cheap Sears unit that I purchased for $20.
2000-2002 - various Technics (SL-D2's, etc.)
2004-2007 - Thorens TD-125MkII w/ Ortofon X5-MC
2007-???? - VPI Scout w/JM9 tonearm, Dynavector 20X-H, Benz Glider M2

I just ordered the VPI, I can't wait.

Started with BSR changers, then a rat-shack DD, then a belt drive or two (used a Thorens for many years), now using a Garrard 301. So I went from idler to DD to belt, and back to idler. I'm enjoying my records more now than I ever did :-).
