Going Back in Time

We unkindly went over the TLS 50's heads as we always sold more 80's and pro Monitors The TLS50's were lovely though as long as the bass was kept under control

Interesting how large the 50's look today. In our old KJ dem rooms, the 50's looked tiny (wish I had some pics from the old days, especially KJ Wigmore St in the mid 70's, as you'd be amazed how many big floor-standers/low stand mounters there were

That was back when speakers were made for MEN! and not WAF...

That really is a boss looking system, the only tiny niggle I have is that red rack. Ascetically speaking it just doesn't compliment everything else. For me anyway. But I have a thing about red, don't like red carpets or furniture or curtains.

It goes well with my cupboard though

It was a simpler time. I remember the shop in 1978 where I worked had a wall of systems connected by a big switch box to a wall of speakers and you could select which system to play with any of the speakers. Great fun.

There is a bloke on the AK site who got hold of one of those comparator boxes and has a basement set up with about 20 receivers and 20 sets of speakers set up through it. Insane but at the same time very cool.

That's lovely.

Finally I found a nice clean ADC LMG-1 headshell from the bay. Probably kidding myself but I think my turntable has never sounded better.



Also on Amazon I found this inexpensive LED clip light which charges over usb.

Nice. Id be tempted to strip it get the sander on it & give it a perfect spray finish.

I needed a new power lamp on my amp and Charlie (kondo) was kind enough to come over and solder it in for me for which I am very grateful. I'm too obsessive to tolerate the lamp being out for long and an amp this heavy is a real hassle to take take to a tech for such a simple thing. I really should learn to solder. Anyway, gave me a chance to take a decent pic of the innards:




Out went the Audio Note dac and the Ifi usb-spdif converter, partly to raise cash and partly to make room in the rack for a cassette deck.

In came a Sony TC-K81 and an Ifi Nano iDSD dac. The little dac is a marvel. Not quite up to the AN but a more than adequate replacement.
