Dropping by to say hi, nice to meet you all,
After years I am rebuilding my analog roots.
My first audio system was built by myself 35 years ago, and kept using it every now and then until a couple of years ago. It was a 30W amp and receiver built out of amplifier boards, own power supply design, mpx IC based fm receiver, riaa eq. board for phono input, selected and paired 2N3055 for each channel power output. Pre stage with bass trebble simple eq feature no IC.Two way speakers, 8" woofers, 2" tweeters and ultra high tech crossover (bi-polar in series capacitor high pass) :-). The TT featured a Shure M70b, that I REALLY miss...
Ok now I am super happy with my vintage stereo setup:
1983 Pioneer PL640 turntable, original high output MC Catridge
1990 PM30 Marantz amp, and
1993 Technics SL-PG340 CD player
My idea,, go back to those years and explore every aspect I did not have time to, then.
Forgot to mention, was lucky to find near mint Acoustic Research AR338, speakers that I love that complete current setup.
Peace,
Alvaro
