Sounds great, considering that the kit is just plonked on the floor, especially the T/T, right in front of the speakers!!
Nevertheless, a proper vintage system, which would likely piss all over a lot of what's made today!

Never heard big speakers or vintage kit but even on that youtube clip i can get a very good sense of how it would sound being in front of it!
