Hello.

[the loaf]

Hi, Am retired and currently use the dreaded linn / ittok mk 3/2 / radikal with no other trimmings. Cart is a retip shure ultra 500 mm which plays well into a delphini 4 box mc phonostage . Pre is a woodside , power an old exposure 4(1979 apparently) driving naim dbls . CD is a Phillips job kindly given to me by a record dealer who had no use for it. Also have a rebuilt lowther set amp and a very nice woodside sta 50. Am absolutely hopeless with computers including pics etc and after finally erupting at home now use the library pcs as the cctv acts as a very good deterrent for hurling abuse at the computer, also the staff are very helpful and accommodating. Cheers. Oh, I use the loaf name as I tend to try to 'loaf about ' as much as possible.

That's an interesting selection of equipment you have. I bet the Woodside and Lowther components turn out some nice sounds.

Hi All,
Thanks for the welcome. Listen to analogue classics (deccas etc) as well as Yer Rock. Am finally getting round to jazz and enjoy swing as well as Miles/ Coltrane/ etc. Due to practical reasons may be cutting down on beloved valves ie very hot etc. Forum looks varied and interesting. Cheers.

Welcome to AoS Bruce.

Would love to see some photos of your Lowther SET amp, as well as some of anything else you use.

Enjoy the Forum

Ah Yes the lowther . Had better clarify this . It is in fact an 18 s lowther (originally) a push pull amp (Built in 70s I think). The main transformer eventually died on it . I had it rebuilt by Service Sounds as a set amp so it probably is not really a lowther amp as such though does still have other transformers on it. Small , compact and heavier than the woodside sta 50 . Rolled off top and in my view strong deep bass which improves depending on quality of ancillaries . Built for 4 ohms out put and a captivating mid as You would expect . Might try and get one of those ipad things and try pics again .
