    Umm, several...

    Mostly Thorens:
    Ambiance / SME V
    TD 521S / SME 312S
    TD 535 / TP90
    TD 2001 RDC / TP90
    TD 160 S BC MkV modified / Jelco TK850S
    TD 160 BC MkII / Audiocraft AC3000
    TD 124 MkII (needs a service, but probably going to be sold) / SME M2/12R
    TD 166 SE (being rebuilt with some Phonosophie parts)
    TD 126 MkIV now ready to be put back together / Moerch UP-4

    Phonosophie
    No. 3 / TP90
    No. 2 / TP90

    Technics SL-110 / SME 310

    And a Rega P25 here being set up for a family member.

    Various of these are with family members or friends, most have come to me for repair and been restored; a few others have been bought->repaired->sold over the years (everyone needs a hobby, right?). The TD 160 MkII was my first turntable and it's been on a few adventures both before and while it's been in my possession...
    The Ambiance and 521 are the two currently set up and ready for use.

    The Collaro 2010 was my second TT, used with an SME 3009/II. An example is shown below, though mine was in much better condition. I removed the Collaro arm and cut out the base plate for an SME arm.


    My intention was to buy either a Garrard 401 or a Goldring G99, but I had so much trouble trying to find a seller of either (Comet were useless), that a local hi-fi shop had a Collaro which they had taken in part exchange and let me have it for a pittance.

    My first was a Garrard SP25 Mk.II, well we all have to start somewhere!

    It's gratifying to see the number of Thorens TD124/II turntable Members here have and use.

    I am the second owner of my TD124 Mk2, My late uncle bought it new from Jim Rogers of Rogers Hi-Fi, somewhere I have the original receipt, I think it was around £36. Jim Rogers was a family friend.

    In the late 70's I did the Papst motor conversion on it.

    I think I paid £38 for mine. It was taken in part exchange for the, then, recently introduced TD125.

    There are some amazing lists and gear here, thanks guys . . . and there was me thinking would it be too over the top if I had two turntables?

    Clearly not

    Just the 4 for me:

    Sony TTS8000
    Thorens TD124/II
    Garrard 301 (Grease bearing, but still in the box after being refurbished)
    EMT 927

    Oh, and a Lenco in bits.

    And 4 sets of speakers to match:
    B&W N802
    B&O Beovox 5700
    Meridian DSP5000 (upgraded to 96KHz/24bits)
    Meridian 101/104/M2

    I'm a bit lacking in amps though - just the Krell KSA300 really (2 sets of speakers are active). Must try harder.

    Just one here, a modified Systemdek IIXE900 with a Roksan Tabriz zi arm, and Origin Live motor and control electrics. Had it for over 20 years and never felt the need to replace it.
