IMG_3420.jpgMy Klipschorns.jpgIMG_3485.jpg
Hidden gems; Wharfedale Isodynamic Headphones. Still sounding better than most (sez Jerry too) after near 50 years.
Can't claim the Klipschorns now, as I've sold them, but I DID have them for over 20 years.
The Leak 3090s reside besides my Kuro TV, sounding pretty fine -see Adam's recent link on these.
I still have my (bought early 1980s, 2nd hand) Hafler DH101/200 Pre/Power amp set-up too.
Must try them into the Leaks one day, once I have the energy to shift stuff about!

Until a year ago original Heils with Rogers LS 5/8 woofers, refurbished in AMT box, Heil driver dated '74, Rogers about '79, and buying a pair of active '09 speakers at £25k, (I paid £9k), has not moved the sound on that much.
Worth it, I don't know, it's not really major, but purer, its what they don't do that's significant.

Over these past 10 or 12 years, I’ve replaced nearly all of my stereo, except for one piece. And that’s my Magnum Dynalab FT101 tuner. Since I’m not quite there on internet music, I still regularly listen to FM radio while cleaning up, or working at my desk. And I have never heard an FM tuner that can dethrone this one. It’s old, I bought it used, and now the dials no longer work. But it still works well and sounds great. And with FM slowly being replaced by internet music, I suspect I’ll never have reason to replace it. Once I get a Raspberry Pi set up for music, I’ll never use the FM again? Or, maybe I will, it’s hard to predict.
