Show us your home setup

from 2:00 minuut
it's the best audio i've ever heard on youtube
only, i would switch to boulder amps. mbl amps are too dark and haven't enough juice and can't handle the speakers enough. pre amp, perhaps sonosax sx series, oja, R2r studer 700 series or telefunken m15 series. the rest isn't interesting. so, you can 3x level better

 

i wouldn't choose those also. but i love the sound of all it's components. another one which i prefer, is this one. love the sound of the speakers from kenrick sound

 

...i still have here (centre of germany) a fully working pair of Cabasse Sloop III, if anybody is interested, please let me know, i make a good price, it's important to have them in good hands (they're just to big for me...)

 

@misterx
nice read
yes, the jbl sound great with jazz, especially vinyl. jbl + emt + studer amp is very very good combo.
jbl is not fast= so no electronica, no classical. you need mbl for those. i think mbl speakers, boulder amps + sonosax pre-amp= my dream setup
i agree 100% with the written article
it's not the 4343. the best is the 4345= it just has got more punch, more body.
it's like the tc-d5 pro2 vs d6c. the first has more punch, more body, more feeling. iow, more power

 

don't go for the new jbl's. those are china made.
only the old jbl pro series which are made in de USA. forget the rest
to bad jbl isn't the brand which it's has be in the 80's and before.
these days, only audio from europe, and some brands made in the US. =boulder
also, forget about studer=harman.
swiss has still great companies=sonosax i dont know about nagra
oja, always want an ikeda arm=japan

 

want this one, besides boulder amps

 

sometimes, you may be lucky and get a older sonosax. the sonosax is one of the best locationmixers in the market. always wanted one of these for my home audio-setup

 

I haven't got all those towers, just the one!, I've just added a 'new' turntable but it hasn't got a dust cover/lid, any chance of obtaining this part?, I've been told it's unobtainable but I refuse to accept that anything is unobtainable. A few years ago I managed to get hold of both of UFO's first two albums on the original Beacon label, I was told these were 'unobtainable' in the 1980s, they came out in 1970 and 71.

Anyway, the lid is this shape only about 3.5" wider (second picture). The turntable is the Kenwood KD66F Direct Drive Fully Automatic Turntable. The rest of the tower is Kenwood except the Pure DRS 701ES DAB tuner which is the same colour so it blends in. The first picture shows the whole tower with an aforementioned rare UFO album.

 

Would that be "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk on the turntable? View attachment 562

The turntable you see in the second picture is a 13" (midi) Kenwood Computer-Controlled Linear Tracking Turntable P71, I'll probably sell that, the one I'm using now is on top of the tower in the first picture which needs a dust cover/lid.

By the way, "Flying" on UFO II is the longest track in my collection lasting nearly half an hour (26:30), four minutes longer than Autobahn which I've also got.

 

thanks, Big Bad John for bringing us back to the basic !

nice setup, sorry i can‘t help you with a lid for the turntable

 

Ha!, you and the rest of the world, thought I'd put it out there just in case.

 

Here are two pictures of my home system which I have built up since 1998 or thereabouts Originally, I started off witha Linn Cd /tuner amplifier in one unit called the Classic with a pair of Keleidh speakers with LG1 amps . I then added The Lin Ikemi CD player which I picked up second hand and ,in the last two weeks, I have added a new record Deck to replace an old Rega turntable which is the Linn Sondek 12 Majik


The Majik LP12 comprises of

• Sondek LP12 turntable
• Aluminium Sub-Chassis and Laminate Armboard
• Solid Aluminium Base Board
• Internal Majik LP12 power supply
• Majik tonearm
• Adikt moving magnet (MM) cartridge
• 45 rpm adaptor
• T-Kable Phono tonearm cable

It is possible to upgrade the deck to the top of the range Klimax LP 12 but I will have to save more pennies to do that and I man not have the time left at 71 , here’s hoping .

 

Nice one Philip Taylor, enjoy.

I just upgraded my turntable with a new motor and power supply, wow it has taken my turntable to a new level. It's like having a new better turntable.
