The scores on the doors...
so now I am in possession of:
QUAD 33
QUAD 303
QUAD FM3
SYSTEMDEK IIX
LINN BASIK LV X / A&R P77
Annoyingly I seem to have lost one of the arcane power cables that would link the FM3 to the 33. I am guessing one will not be too hard to track down but I shan't be hanging on to it either way really. Other than that everything is present and correct.
I have plumbed in the 33/303 between my CDP/PMCs and it is rather lovely really. I haven't done a big compare to my Brio3, but I am pretty sure it sounds nicer. I certainly like the look of it for a change anyway. Condition is that the 33 has cleaned up okay but it is far from MINT. It all works though on initial testing and I have listened to Dave Brubeck TIME OUT about four times so far and should probably just go to bed....
I actually like it enough that I am thinking about selling all the QUAD on, and getting maybe some other QUAD stuff. Brief googling suggests a 44/405-2 might be fun.
Not sure about the SYSTEMDEK. I think it will also be moved on, though there is a small chip to the glass platter at the centre hole. Other than that it looks to be in fantastic condition. I think it would probably make more sense to sell the arm separately, though I am also wondering whether it is worth trying it out on my TD-150/2. A little googling suggests probably its not worth the effort.
Any thoughts on any of that, oh wise community?
