Anyone got and old kits still running?

I've got one of those, fantastic amp. Always wondered how many others were around.

Yep

20 yr old Denon PMA 250II amp, Denon DRM500 tape deck, (in my dining room)

20 yr old Dual CS 505, 18 yr old Aiwa ADS 750 tape deck, 18 yr old TEAC CDP1100 CD player, and Philips CDR 600 CD recorder (not hooked up to Denon amp, now hooked up to Yamaha DSPAX 761 Home Cinema Amp in front room)

20 yr old B & W Vision DS2? speakers not used at mo, under my sons bed waiting for oportunity to hook them back up to Denon amp (need to sweet talk the wife)

And finally in the cellar for the Kids Technics SADA8 home cinema amp with a Sony PS2 hooked up.

It is a really great amp. Well under the radar but sounds fantastic.

Ha yes i know what you mean, also still running the Audiolab 8000A, CD and PX, bearing in mind though most of the kit people have posted is older than me!

Hi chris88

Thanks. I've used KEF's excellent Reference Model 3.2 speakers (Rosetta Burr finish) with the A-400. Now i use Dynaudio's superb DM 2/7 speakers

All the best

Still using my fathers Meridian 101 preamp & 2 105 monobloc poweramps from the 1970`s and still sounds sweet as ever.

And My Father is still using his Logic DM101 (mk1) turntable fitted with Helius Scorpio arm and also still uses a Meridian 203 DAC with his Arcam CD player.

Sansui AU-217. Terrific amp.

I remember being just a little envious, as a friend with a bit more money to spend than me (due to his new job), bought these.

If I remember right, the Pre was brown, with long "piano keys" as selectors, and the monoblocs were neat rectangular boxes.....they sounded good too.

 

[Psiaudio]

Yes - most of my kit is pretty elderly

Linn LP12 / LV. X (1986) /Ortofon 520 (1993)

Meridian 506 (1994)

Arcam Delta 290 (1994)

Rogers LS 2a2's (1994) (Rega ELA IIs bought to replace these but I never liked them as much)

My old, second-hand A&R A60 (1982) is still propping up my Dad's system

A pair of Mission 760i's (1992) is in the kitchen linked to a receiver

 

[AmigaNut]

I still use my

Mission 700Le speakers from the mid 80's still sound good today and I have a

Yamaha KX 340 cassette deck hardly used but works perfectly.

Great thread, I didn't really have anything to contribute until the other day when my wife came home after visiting family with a fully working 1930's Decca Gramaphone and a load of 78's, it is a full waist height example and a beautiful piece of furniture that I'd love to get restored, the vinyl sounds a little scratchy but considering it's age not bad atall, it's just the winding it up that is a little painful :roll:

Welcome......if you are the same Vipers that I've read with interest over in the Arcam section of AV Forums, I look forward to your input.

Very nice kit btw.
