which turntables have you owned ??

[fr0g]

A midi sized Philips that came with a cheap midi system, and lasted what seemed like forever

An Arcam CD7SE bought with my first proper system in 2000 whichh I still have.Still works a treat but is rarely used as I stream.

A BSR (i think, it was more than 35 years ago).

Goodman midi separate

Thorens TD280 mkII

Rega Planar 2

 

[jerry klinger]

Garrard 4HF in bathtub plinth (bought for £4, now worth £400) 1970
Goldring G101 (awful) 1975
Thorens TD150 1978
Michell Hydraulic Reference 1980
Linn LP12 / G707 1980
Thorens TD124/II + LVX (overrated deck IMHO) 1983
Linn LP12 / Ittok 1985
Linn LP12 / Aro 1999
SME 10 / IV 2004
Rega P7 2008
Rega RP6 (and a Rega P3-24 upstairs) 2012

You may find it hard to believe that the current deck is the most revealing.....

well, going back a long way:

Garrard SP25
Thorens TD104
Rega Planar 3 - Acos arm
Linn Basik
LP12
Dual 514
Rega Planar 2 - Acos arm
Rega 25
Goldring GR2

& my all round favourite is the Rega 25 - pure simple music with no fuss!
