First class, Sir!

[keiths]

Yummy!

[Mark Grant]

Lovely system and perfect photos.

A short length of D-line trunking would hide those wires from the screen.:)

Is there anywhere that sells those Valve clocks in a case like that, have only ever seen them as DIY projects. ?

[Beechwoods]

Absolutely gorgeous, you have fantastic taste!

[The Black Adder]

Cheers lads... Very nice of you to say.

Still some things to do, new cabinet coming back soon (hopefully).

Mark.. u da maaan.. Thanks for that. I'm gonna get me some of that. Top!

[Mark Grant]

I install a few wall mounted TV's for customers so I always have some in the Van, saves a lot of time.

[Marco]

Freakin' awesome, Joe! :stalks:

Like Nick says, you have great taste, and so have put together a lovely vintage system that no doubt not only works superbly well, sonically, but visually and aesthetically, in sympathy with your room.

Congrats on sharing one of the best system pics we have in our Gallery :clap:

I must pop down sometime for a listen... I'd love to hear what my G800 cartridge would sound like on your TD124! :cool:

Marco.

Hey Joe

Where did you get the Nixie Tube jobbie?

[Ali Tait]

Some here-

[Rare Bird]

Prefer the open tube one Joe has i could make a new case for it

[The Black Adder]

Hey Andre.

This is the one: http://www.glowbug.nl/neon/KarlssonClock.html designed by Peter van der Jagt.

I bought it in oooh.. 1997 or 98 I think. One of the first ones made. Not sure if they are still available. I saw one on ebay quite a while back and it went for about £250... It cost about £200 at the time I seem to remember.

It's a great little thing and compliments the amps don't you think?

Cheers Marco.. Thats very nice of you to say... There are some lovely systems though in this gallery. :)

Pop over sometime if you want, no probs.

And thanks guys for the continued kind words too... :)

[ursus262]

Lush! Bet is sounds superb

Where did you get the rack from? Just curious.

Also, how do you find the TD124? I understand it's a classic and goes for lots of money, but I've always wondered what they sound like.

[Ali Tait]

Aye, they do this one too-

I got the table made and adapted from a console table design. I'll be needing something different soon.. something with doors... lol

The TD124 is an amazing sounding deck. I had this one sent back and refurbished in Switzerland by Schopper. Full strip down and re-build.

I came from a Gyrodec SE of which was superb but I haven't looked back.

[The Black Adder]

Aye, they do this one too-

http://www.store.tubeclock.com/images/Clocks/in14milledflatfront3.jpg

Very simular too! btw.. the tubes run cold and don't get hot if thats what a case is needed for... they don't even get in the sligtly bit warm.

[Marco]

We'll defo do that because you're not far away! Would you like me to bring the Copper amp, and you can hear it with your Croft and Tannoys? :)

Marco.

[Reid Malenfant]

Must say i do love the look of that Pioneer RtR Joe, what a fabulous looking bit of kit :) Matches my CT-F950 (cassette deck) to, now that's one RtR i'd love to get my hands on :eyebrows: Maybe one day at a car boot sale, or maybe not :lol:

That SME headshell is still yours m8 (i can't forget it) :eyebrows: One day i'll find it...

[MartinT]

Superb, Joe. Simple and classy layout and looks like a nice place to be when listening to your music.

[Stefaan]

Awesome tape recorder. And a nice turntable and arm. Really cool set-up you've got.

Stefaan

[Wilbur]

I think I just made a mess:stalks::stalks:

[Slippershod]

[macvisual]

WoW, lovely looking vintage system.

Were can one buy the valve clock please? I need one.

[Thing Fish]

Superb system, I particularly like the r2r, no wonder you're "well appy" dude ;)

[The Black Adder]

Cheers fella. I love my RT... It's got such a lush sound and it animates... lol

[hornucopia]

Need a bigger screen! (-:

[thur]

Ohhh man, what a great system.

I love it when a setup consists of (at least) some Vintage gems.
Yours does: beautiful Quad Tube amps, some nice Tannoys (no idea what Lancaster cabs are *) and of course the Thorens 124.

I certainly believe it sounds bloody nice!

*) I searched, so now I know :)

Regards,

Thur.
