Yes, I wouldn't have recommended the Orty with the Lentek. As you know, it's all about synergy! ;)
Nice to have a choice, though... :)

Latest addition to my vintage collection, with many many thanks to Rick E :)

Simply perfect visual design, imo. :drool: Love it :)
And all together now ....

The JVC powers up, but I haven't tried it yet.
Kind of turning into a "last stand before the graveyard" region chez Jerry Towers then:)
Nostalgia trip supremo?
We used to like that JVC receiver era - made a nice change from the increasingly hard and foggy Yamaha and gritty Technics equivalents I remember.
Ah, they don't make 'em like they used to, ya know :wheniwasaboy:Quote:

Me too. Particularly old Technics and Sansui tuners.Quote:

On this cold and wet Easter Friday morning I finally got around to wiring her up to my cdp --- needed a bit of to&fro-ing on the sliders to get rid of some intermittency and crackle but now sounding mighty fine on the tumultuousness of Rachmaninov's 2nd symphony. :violin:
Coo - it's magnificent! Really taut and dynamic. :eek:
Jeez , where do you dig em up from Jerry . I'm still using the Amptastic Mini-1 , a distant recommendation of yours :lol:
Hopefully I'll be doubling them up soon ( one per speaker ) and giving them a 'kick up the bum ' with one of Stans Capellas plus a couple those excellent Chinese PSUs .I really enjoy reading about the older gear you try in your system . Love the photies too . If only I had more room ( and a more sympathetic missus ) :rolleyes:
Keep up the good work mate .
Thanks, Brian.
Yes, I'm really enjoying myself with the vintage gear. It's something I've wanted to do for years but never quite got around to. I'm truly amazed at how good some of them sound - the last 40 years hasn't seen much progress, imho!
I'll try the JVC receiver powering my speakers sometime soon, but it'll have a battle on its hands to equal my (also vintage!) Harman Kardon Citation 12 power amp. :)
Nowt wrong with those Mini-1 amps, though. I could happily live with one. :thumbsup: Be interesting to hear your findings on doubling them up - I tried it with one of the TA2020 chip amps but didn't hear much, if any, advantage.
