The ps1 is compleatly standard, I know there are a ton of mods you can do to these. but my soldering skills are pretty bad so ill probably leave it alone.

You know what, I didnt think I was that bad, but ive just realised in about 2 years ive had 6 pairs of speakers, 4 amps and 2 Turntables.
Theres also a tuner, tape deck and av amp laying around doing nothing.
and i still have 4 drivers and a pair of kef coda 8s the get rid off. lol yep, GAS is real (gear aquisition syndrome )

lol yes, I've noticed some ppl change components like I change socks. cant say I blame anyone though, all my stuff has been very cheep so its been fun, I think the only thing that will stay for a long time are my Current speakers. I really like these old Technics sb-3500s. However they are the babys of the range. so if a pair or 4500 or 5000s come up and i have the money...
Not much info about these speakers around although there is a pair identical to mine ending on ebay today.

"Yes, and slowly you work out what you like and start to move towards something you are totally happy with. With a tail wind I understand it is possible to manage it before you retire"
But if you get happy with your system what do you do then? gardeing? lol
No seriously though , there's so much stuff I havent heard at all, all the speakers i've heard are Reflex. No horns or Open baffles or T line. Theres so much to hear Maybe that why its such fun.
Hi John,
Welcome to the forum
I like you're open-minded approach to system-building (and hi-fi), which appears to be free from the usual 'baggage' audiophiles seem to carry around with them. Nice one. I shall follow your journey with interest.
Keep it up and enjoy the music
Marco.
