Loyalty to old gear

[Jac Hawk]

Hmmm a very good question, i have none of my original equipment, but that wasn't down to me, the ex missus had a hand in it, so i suppose if she hadn't have chucked it, i would probably still have it all

Although I buy a considerable amount of gear to play with, not much changes in my main system.

For example, my Garrard 301 has been my reference turntable since my uncle gave it to me nearly over 20 years ago and my Ferrograph speakers have been in use for around 12, with a 3 year gap somewhere in the middle when I moved into my then-girlfriend's one bedroomed house and she made noises about them being far too big for the lounge!

What's interesting, Adam, is that despite the plethora of kit which must go through your hands, as a reviewer, and the discounts you must have access to (I'm not suggesting anything underhand, but one would presume you are able to buy kit at cost, should you like it, no?), your main system components consist solely of vintage gear....

Is that a slap in the face, as it were, to the standards of modern equipment, or merely a reflection of your lack of deep pockets (lol) and love of vintage gear, or perhaps a mixture of all three?

Marco.

P.S I'd really like you to bring the Ferrographs again to Scalford, as I missed them the last time, and would love to hear them. This year I intend to spend much more time visiting other people's rooms, and not simply parked almost permanently in the AoS one!

Yeh that be a good idea Marco..Not many Ferro 'S1' floating about the used marked, it was quite sometime ago the last time i saw a pair on auction..
