Hello from Italy
Hello, I'm Alex from Italy. I'd like to start saying I'm not so expert of vintage HIFI but I recently made up my mind and got back to tube ampifier + analog turntable player.
Actually, my "chain" is : 2 QUAD II mono ampli w/ QUAD_22 plus Linn Sondek LP12 plus the Project 2.9 wooden pear with Grado Platinum cartridge both linked to a TRIAGON pre-pre-ampli.
Hope to find here precious input/advices regarding vintage HIFI.
Thanks,
Alex

Vintage equipment is popular here. Look at the Past Masters section and you'll find plenty to interest you. Feel free to join in the chat.
Tell us what music you listen to and what plans you may have for your system. What speakers do you use?
Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
