the first ment to be mine hi-fi gear was a receiver from late 60´s also a turntable PL-43 or similar from Pioneer and a pair of still excelent sounding philips speakers later with a reel to reel deck X-165D from Akai´s 1970 catalog and all works today perfect and sound very good , before i had other systems but i would get them components here and there or using what belonged to my father, that always had top of the line equipment
A Rega Planar 3 from 1986? That's impressive! Those turntables have a great reputation for their sound quality and durability. It's fantastic that you've enjoyed it for so many years with just a minor repair. What kind of cartridge are you using with it?Rega Planar 3 which I bought in 1986. I did have to get the tonearm rewired a couple of years ago but apart from that, all is good.
That's a classic combination that's highly sought after. You have a deep appreciation for high-end audio. I'd love to hear how those setups compare.1950s Garrard 301/ SME 3012/ Ortofon SPU
1970s Oracle Delphi / MDC800 / Koetsu Red
Rega Planner 3 late 80's I'm guessing, it was given to me early 2000's, It sat at work for a number of years waiting to be repaired but I don't think our service engineer was confident in tackling it, so a couple of years ago I took it to a local hifi dealer and had it fettled.Let's take a trip down memory lane! What's the oldest piece of hi-fi equipment you proudly own? Share your vintage treasure.
An Elys 2. I am thinking of replacing it with either an AT VM95ML or V540ML.What kind of cartridge are you using with it?
I have similar issues at home. I want to change the layout to suit the hifi. Other-arf not keen. However, next year we plan to gut the downstairs, so that would be an opportunity to redesign things a bit. MInd you we said "next year" last year.I want to put wall mounted shelves up for the hifi, like we did in our first house but Rach isn't keen.
where did you find it ?it´s hard to get anything near old quality if not around 50.000€ for moduleDon't have anything old. It was all replaced with something better, and the old stuff eBayed/sold/given away.
