Continue trying to fulfil 'the needs' of my vintage hifi collection! Top of that list being receivers Pioneer SX-1980, Sanyo JCX 2600/2900, Technics SA-1000, and tuner Sansui TU-X1. Anything similar of that standard considered! I gave up chasing perfection some years ago and went back to my 'youth' when hifi had dials and meters and lights and wooden surrounds. Oh yes, and excellent sound and specs!

Got some Tannoy Ardens due to turn up at some point hopefully in the not too distant future.
Need to get my Technics SLP1200 cd player fixed (stops playing after track 6) Also got a Sony X505ES player that needs looking at.
Might think about putting some fancy resistors in my pre-amp.
That's about it really. Not actually really needing to do anything, I've already got the sound how I like it and the quality level is more than sufficient. But you've got to tinker haven't you? It's what it's all about.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

Paradise will have to wait. In a moment I will put my money with a Croft Micro Riaa R.
In my future I see:
- a Croft Riaa RS, with later modifications taking it higher as funds and Glenn Croft permit
- a Paradise stage - but I will need to save up for a while
- an EAR 324 - probably just a figment of - what EA Poe called - fancy.

Finish upgrading the Sondex S100 amp.
Mod the 301 with Cherry plinth and decoupled arm pods.
Maybe hunt down and modify a Garrard 401 motor for experimentation on my 301.
Add a new PSU to my Lenco L75.
Mod my Croft Epoch to dual mono PSU & further regulation to PSU/Valves.
Buy any piece of kit that takes my fancy.

I'm sorted.
Maybe a new cartridge (MC?) for the 401, think it deserves better than the Nagaoka MP110 currently on it (although I'm happy enough with the sound it makes)

Roy, I too have a Nag MP 110, and know that my system deserves(?) better, but am quite pleased with how good it sounds at the moment, that I can hardly really care about moving up that ladder. I am sure I will in given time, but it satisfies for now!
