What Turntables Do You Own?

[sonddek]

I didn't vote because it would only let me choose two, and WT and Garrard were missing. I never understand why polls are designed to refuse the real data. This site is not running on a ZX-81. More options and multiple selections are within the server's capabilities.

 

[Rodrat]

I have around 12
SL10 x 2
SL7 x 3
Technics1200
Technics 1210
Technics 1210 50th
Yamaha YP cant remember model but maybe 711
Rega 3 with the cutout plinth
SRM Arezzo reference
One that you can program the tracks Sharp ?

 

[DiBosco]

The same LP12 since 1980 or so, well I say the same but only the lid, plinth and top plate remain.

This is pretty much my experience. Bought second hand in 1985 I have an early 80s LP12, but have upgraded the arm from Basik to Ittok and changed the PSU.

 

[Beobloke]

Why am I only allowed two votes?!

I’ve got two in the list (Michell and Thorens) and a heck of a lot of ‘Other’, including ADC, B&O, Garrard, Markel, Nakamichi, Sony, Yamaha and Vestax.

And probably one or two others I’ve forgotten…

 

[Helen Bach]

14 Lenco's, and counting. A couple Revolvers, a Garrard 202A and a few other ancient ones just for historical reasons.

 

[seagullsnacker]

Since last year Rega P6 before that a P3 for nearly 30years…the P6 is considerably better as one would expect but it’s always a surprise at how good it sounds…would like to move to a P8 as a fix and forget end point

 

[CTank]

A Project Classic. Bought at a great price on eBay, but I’ve never really bonded with it. Just doesn’t sound as good as my digital, and most of the music I’m into now is on CD. Suspect it would do better on a dedicated shelf. One day maybe.

 

[deserter]

Well Tempered Simplex 2 and Funk Gett, but probably about to sell the Gett ( with Dynavector 20X2L cartridge )

I’ve got several others knocking around (Technics SL-120 MkI, SL-1200 Mk7L, & Lenco 88), but the Thorens TD-124/II above is, and likely always will be, the one in use.

Wow beauty, buff.

 

[Tumeni Notes]

Linn LP12 and Rega Planar 3, both 1980s models, and both unconnected to the "vinyl revival"

 

[Woodface]

I have an LP12, still.

 

[Hazelberry]

Modified Rega Planar 3:
• c. 1980 plinth with wood surround (cherry?)
• RB300
• upgraded AC motor
• Tangospinner subplatter
• AT3600L for the moment

I love it very much ️️️️️

 

[pembers]

Bought a Nottingham Analogue Horizon and was blown away with it!.....after several months, the usual thought entered my heard...."wonder what the space-deck is like"......bloody good IMO.

This ones got the top spec 'Ace Ana' tonearm.

Going to get the 2nd arm bracket and add the horizon arm mounted with a MM cartridge soon.

 

[paulfromcamden]

14 Lencos

 

[Darren L]

NAS Dais with Brinkmann 10.0/Hana ML and Hadcock242se/Shure V15v-mxr combos.
I also still have a RP3

 

[Joolzdee]

Akurate spec LP12 with AO PU7 arm in my main system. Plus a shocking lilac Planar 3 in my second "retro" system.

 

[paulfromcamden]

Please excuse the dust. Lenco GL75 with some kind of Acos tonearm.

An equally intereting thread might be "what turntable have you not (yet) heard or owned that you would really like to."

For me, as a P10 and Sony DD owner, the answer would be an idler, or a 1200G with an upper-Rega or SME arm on it.

I'd like to try an idler, not fussy whether Garrard, Thorens or PTP (Lenco) and a DD, probably a STST Motus or Brinkmann Bardo or Oasis.
I tried 'most' of the different types of belt drives and prefer Tom Fletchers designs too anything else.
