Music is playing again after a long hiatus. Vinyl, Reel to Reel, and Digital!

I also LOVE the look of that! It's right up my street, in terms of how hi-fi gear *should* look: nice clean lines, and above all, PURPOSEFUL, not 'pretty' - it needs to look like it means business. Fabulous ergonomics!

Great colours too, on the buttons and switches - almost like it was part of a film set for a 1970s sci-fi movie

Could you describe how it sounds?

Marco.

For me in my setup it’s the best sounding phono pre I have owned, with my most pricey phono pre at one point being around 5,000.00usd used. It’s been an underground legend it seems with the Japanese and S.E.T. Tube/horn crowd also.

Lenco PTP build... 65 pounds of analog goodness. She’s in the room now and will be fitted with a Fidelity Research arm this week. Three extra arm boards also for easy change out of tonearms.

Fidelity Research FR-24 MKII tonearm is setup with an Audio Technica cartridge for starters. I'll be trying several different cartridges in the coming time.
