Re: Your music equipment
^ looks sexy, make sure the needle is OK before it carves up your precious vinyl :)
As promised, my late Father's music machines workshop: IDK what half these boxes do.. I think the cheapo radio is my stepmum's addition - so she can listen to Radio4 :) Some sort of handbuilt speaker cabs.
This is just the stuff that was 'in rotation' the racks of other things are still half 'broken/fixed'
it's a bit sad...

Re: Your music equipment
Wux, needle is OK, I tried it myself on the flea market with a vinyl. It is an audio-technica T4P.
Impressive stuff from your father.

I see amps on either side. Looks like he was monoblocking. Good man.

Re: Your music equipment
^ sorry slob, missed your post, yes valve mono-block, bit excessive IMO but he liked it :)
he was quite into it, pre-amps, making his own crossovers. A project I want to take over, when I have space, is renovating a couple of pairs of quad ESL 67's
Those are, quite without doubt, the most amazing speakers I've had the pleasure of listing too.
On a sad note, I 'treated' myself to a pair of Sennheiser HD210's - had good reviews and even cheap sennys are usually good. These ones are a bit wack. Might need to some time to get used to them though.
Main regret is having these at age 21:

then leaving them at a mates house - where they served as mixing headphones, :O they actually survived that but eventually turned to dust.

Re: Your music equipment
I am in search of a new (used) amp for the living room. It has to be phono.
Re: Your music equipment
@Wux: i have the Sennheiser HD 201 headphones. They are decent, lower-range Sennheisers. Definitely not fantastic, but still really good sound. Maybe indeed get used to them. The audiophiles will tell you they need to "burn in" :D

Re: Your music equipment
I had always great Sennheiser's, only one pair is not on par with the rest but still relatively usable, e.g. for watching movies instead listening to music.

Re: Your music equipment
Yeah, burn in... plus points are that they are very comfy, and they look classy :)

Re: Your music equipment
Decided to by an all-in-one solution, do not kill me. :) At least it comes with a good record player from Dual.

I will connect it with good speakers I already have or even buy new ones because the speakers that come with it will be relatively crappy.

Dual is my childhood :) Back in the day I had two dual 1224 record players, those were really nice.ivanovnegro wrote:Decided to by an all-in-one solution, do not kill me. :) At least it comes with a good record player from Dual.
Re: Your music equipment
A couple of day ago I arranged a new toy for my son. It's a good thing we lived in the countryside of the Netherlands ;) The picture is crappy, but it's a Dynacord Eminent II amplifier (partial transistor and the better half are EL34 tubes).

Re: Your music equipment
Let's see how you neighbor reacts to 'cannibal corpse' or something when it's all plugged in. :)

Re: Your music equipment
Theo, what do you run through those whoppers?
I mean, what do you play through them, I suppose.

Re: Your music equipment
Wux, my son is playing an electic guitar but it's also a fine replacement for his pc-speakerset too :P But no worries.. he likes old rock and metal (Deep Purple, Iron Maiden..). So a tube amplifier is perfect and a neighbour who isn't much at home works too :)
