    Default Your First Proper Hi-Fi System

    Have any of you got photos of your first system? I thought a thread on this might be fun. If you've got no photos, just tell us about it.


    Here's mine:

    I found an old (very grainy) photo of my first proper Hi Fi setup. This was circa 1971.

    The pickup arm was an Audio Developments AD309K, housing a Shure of some sort. All mounted on a Connoisseur BD1, assembled from a kit and mounted on a very basic plinth. The amp is a Ferrograph F307 (which I never got on with). The speakers are Tannoy IIILZ.



    Soon afterwards, I changed the TT for a Thorens TD150 with a Decca International arm and Decca London Blue cartridge. The Ferrograph amp went and a lovely Rotel RA-611 replaced it. The Tannoys stayed. Now we're talking, it sounded in a different league!

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
