Many thanks for dropping by Marco et al.
The FB page has been a fun way to put up images of equipment we have (or previously had) in the collection. It seemed a shame to have a file on the desktop with lots of images of interesting bits and bobs. Interspersed with the archive shots are 'Heritage' images which for us at least is an important and fascinating factor in our passion for authentic vintage hifi. The odd record gets a look in along with anything else that fits with our ethos. If you can stand appalling camera work our YouTube channel has 100+ short films (mainly 301's and music): https://www.youtube.com/user/Sellrecordcollection

How do you think the new SME M-12 compares with the original Series I SME 3012? Both of which are shown in the photo.
