    Default Hello from Northern Scotland

    Well, where to start?

    I have been into HiFi for decades and have owned (and still, to the dismay of my wife, own) a lot of stuff.

    Current setup: Oracle Delphi mk 5 (there is a long story to tell about a crooked HiFi Dealer in the UK trying to pass off a Mk 5 as a Mk 6 to tell about this one, but I shall refrain). Mørch DP8 and a lot of cartridges. I have been using the Ortofon SPU Royal for a long time and am very pleased with it, but other Ortofons and other-brand MCs are in use as well: SPU GMII, Jubilee, MC200, MC30 Super, Audio Technica ART2000, Dynavector DV17, Rega Apheta and many others. Amplification is Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 and speakers are Martin Logan Vantage. All in all, I think this may see me through my retirement.

    Other Stuff includes Sansui AU11000A, KEF LS50, Lenco PTP 6, Bokrand/Ortofon AS309 (this one is heavily modified by myself: Alfred's ideas are good, but the execution leaves something to be desired) with Tandberg TD20A SE 2 track tape Recorder.

    Also some 1980s Danish High Fidelity magazine kits (1982-85 Preamp and Borbely mosfet amps with Ole Klifoth (Audiovector) Satellit speakers) and Mørch GS6a turntable with UP4 arm and several Walkman WM6D cassette recorders.

    Somewhere in all this, there is also a Technics SP10 Mk 2. Still working on that one.

    Welcome to AoS Frederick,

    Some excellent gear you use, I'm especially impressed with your cartridge history.

    What are your tastes in music?

    We would love to see some photos of your set up - Part II perhaps?

    Welcome again

    Welcome to the Forum.
    Thank y'all for the Welcome.

    It will be impossible to take a 'group photo' of my stereo: one component(s) I have not listed are a pair of 12 metre Sansui PS 112C Speaker cables. But I shall try to photograph the individual parts later when I have figured out how to attach images.

    Here is a (very small) picture of my Oracle, Mørch DP-8, ICA200 setup. (I am still working on how to do this, so bear with me).
