.....and from not quite so sunny Harrow
Hi to all,
Must admit I've been looking as a guest at the forum for some time now. After a while of just reading posts I decided to join because it does appear to be very civilised on here and a far cry from some other places.
I started getting interested in HI-FI as a result of working for Western Electric/Westrex in the early 1950s.You can't help to make Acoustilens speakers and all the associated equipment that goes with them without being affected in some way.
My own kit was mainly self built. Mullard 3-3, Mullard 5-10,Mullard 20 watt,a Toby Dinsdale 10 watt and some others I've chosen to forget.Since retiring I no longer have a workshop to play with so have resorted to shop-bought kit.I recently changed my amp from a pair of Quad 11 Diamond Jubilee models to something far easier to rack up and at the same time keep the room cooler.
I now use the following,
Thorens TD160 Super/SME Series 11 improved removable /DenonDL160
Marantz SACD 7003.
Sony RCD-100 CD recorder
Denon TU1800 FM,AM,DAB Tuner
Marantz PM8003 amp
Tannoy DU386s in modified Berkeley cabinets.
Pete.
