Well, New Jersey anyway. Cherry Hill, New Jersey actually.
My name is Patrick, and I'm a Systems Designer for a Custom Installation company, as well as an enthusiast of vintage Japanese product of the 70's and early 80's, and an enthusiast of contemporary product as well. My current line-up of vintage turntables are as follows:
Yamaha GT-2000
Luxman PD-444 with an Audio Technica AT-1010 arm in slot #1 and an Audiocraft AC-300 MKII arm in slot #2.
Sony PS-8750 with the stock PUA-1600 CF arm.
Cartridges include Benz Micro ACE low output, Denon DL-103D, Signet MK-110E, Shure V-15 Type IV, Goldring Eroica, Sumiko Talisman, Sumiko Alchemist , Ortofon Cadenza Bronze and an Ortofon Kontrapunkt B.
As my moniker indicates, I have a very warm spot in my heart for Kenwood, and have owned the KD-770D as well as the L-07D. I'm on the lookout for the KD-990, and would consider selling my Sony to acquire it.
I also own the following from Kenwood:
KA-9100 Integrated Amp
KA-907 Integrated Amp (Using it as a Phono Preamp, and a damn good one at that.)
L-02A Integrated Amp (Their best, also using it as a Phono Preamp)
KX-2060 Cassette Deck
KT-815 AM/FM Tuner
I have a bunch of other odds and ends from Yamaha (MX-2000), Nakamichi (680ZX), Denon (DF-8) and Teac (V-8030). One of the perks of working in the A/V business is the amount and type of product folks are willing to discard. So, I've accumulated quite a bit that way. I am going to begin moving some of the gear out the door and consolidate somewhat, but I'm having a lot of fun with it and learning a lot as I go along my journey. I do enjoy good digital playback, but vinyl has been so much fun and so rewarding that I'm virtually obsessed with it at this point.
I've lurked here for quite a while because the vintage turntable threads in particular are so substantial and filled with great advice. And the pics some of the folks here are posting are absolutely first rate. There is spirited debate, but almost all of it seems quite good natured. I hope I can be of assistance in providing information and sharing experiences as good as what I've already gleaned from you good folks.
Cheers!
