    Default My sitting/listening/testing room...:)

    Hi for all,
    I am Vintage gears enthusiasts from Milton Keynes, originally from Lithuania. My passion/hobby is restoring and modifying turntables. Have numbers and numbers done. Now, me and my friend working on heavily upgraded Lenco GL75, in brand new and totally different shape....
    Current system:
    Tannoy V12HP drivers in huge, custom made housing.
    JAS T100 ribbon super tweeters from JAS Audio.
    Fully refurbished Marantz PM4 integrated amplifier.
    Sugden iA4 integrated monster integrated amplifier, do not like them, too cold, too slow IMHO....
    Copland CTA301 pre and Copland CTA501 power amps. Really nice sounding, but still not sure about valve sound...:0
    Custom made Pyramyd valve monoblocks.
    Marantz Ma5 monos and marantz Sc6 pre.
    Shanling CD T100 cd player. I am surprised how good is sound from this chinese gear!
    Sugden CD21SE CD player. Nice sound, detailed and warm. Like it, unfortunately on service....
    Finally my pride Garrard in huge and heavy, around 35-40 kilos, plinth, with 3 tonearms, SME 3009 improved, upgraded to 12'' Rega r200 and Grace G714.
