Just getting back into audio after a long break raising kids etc.
TBH I'm a little daunted at the prospect as in the past hifi has led to manic OCD, obsessiveness and crushing disappointments whilst chasing some elusive audio nirvana.
No doubt like others I've probably lost thousands and at times had to put up with some dire sounds due to poor purchases.
Last satisfying system was in 2006. A Notts Analogue TT, Trigon Vanguard Phono, MC25FL, Cambridge CDC, Sugden A21a into some Epos 11's. Not a bad system but I always hankered for valves.
Anyway, I now find myself with my old NA TT and MC25FL, a Yaquin MC13S that I haven't yet heard and some mint Totem Arros.
I'm awaiting delivery of some Mark Grant VD Hifi cables to hopefully fire it all up this week, fingers crossed I'll like the sound.
I'll be posting asking if anyone has a schematic of the Trigon Phono so that if I change the cart I can adjust the gain, also some advise on what would be a good replacement for the MC25FL. I was thinking trading in for an Ortofon Quinet bronze.
Anyway, happy listening!
