My Quest is over !

[Audio Al]

My journey through the world of HiFi is at an end , After many years searching for audio bliss I am sure I now have found it
ALL Analogue ( of course :) )

Vinyl system is as follows

Shelter 5000 MC cartridge / Denon 304 / Goldring Eroica L ( choice , currently the Shelter )
Origin Live encounter MK3c arm with the OL arm board
Technics 1210 MK2 TT
Mike new bearing
Mike new ETP platter
Isonoe Isolation Feet
Timestep HE external power supply

Ortofon ST-80se SUT
Quad 2 rebuilt Valve amps / Albarry M608 monoblocks
Albarry AP11 pre / Croft Valve pre Micro 25 basic

Speakers Quad ESL 57 and 63's :)

And the addition of a pair of Focal JM Labs floor standers , My My these are great speakers :eyebrows: paired with the Albarry they sound amazing :eek:

I have also used these Focals with my reel 2 reel machines and Oh boy wowzer :eek:
Revox A77 / Otari MX55 / Tandburg 9100x / Tascam 22-2 / AkAI GX635D / and others

Anyone who listened in Lodgesounds room at the WW show will appreciate just how amazing these R2R systems sound :eyebrows:

Am I a HAPPY ? Oh yes , :D

Will update at a later date , Time 2 cook the dinner ;)

Congratulations on reaching your happy place! So many of us chase and chase and chase!

I'll give you a couple of weeks Al and then half of that lot will be up for sale. :D ;)

That has to produce a great sound. Are you able to compare the OL arm with say an SME M2-9 or Jelco 750? I ask because I was this year thinking of changing my Jelco and the OL was shortlisted.

[CageyH]

What are the Focal speakers?

[petrat]

Have you gone quite mad?
I mean, what will you do now?
And while we're on the subject of your temporary insanity, what the farklin' gooseberries is this 'pishanto' stuff all about?

Sounds like a fabulous system Al and everyone knows Analogue rules, :rolleyes: there is just something about Vinyl going round on a beautiful turntable or those reels going round on a Reel 2 Reel that is just blows you away :scratch: its SEX but not as you know it :D

And while we're on the subject of your temporary insanity, what the farklin' gooseberries is this 'pishanto' stuff all about? It's a long standing Joke between myself and Marco , I frequent local boot sales and buy , 8 track carts , Vinyl , Cassettes , R2R ,and vintage HiFi , He thinks I am mad :lol: Marco will explain PISHANTO for you ;)
