The first-best-last analog item you ever bought
I bought a Heathkit WAP- 2, twenty watt dual chassis amplifier in 1955. My grandpa, in the midwest it's grandpa and not grandfather, told me to buy a Magnavox console and be done with it. Little did he know where my choice would take me 53 years later.
Today, my best and last investment is in a RTR machine. The machines are cheap when compared to the alternatives. Unfortunately the software is scarce and expensive
.
Nothing good comes cheap. How about your thoughts.

The Aiwa AD f770 3 head cassette deck, bought back in 1983. Still have it today! The thorens TD 1500 is my latest acquisition analog wise. It is truly a great turntable. The best, even though the two above are fantastic, has been my recent acquisition of the Denon DL 103....it is just a wonderful sounding cartridge.

@atmasphere , my dad had an Ampex. I do not recall the model. It was glorious. He had maybe 100 prerecorded 7.5 ips tapes. I must have worn them out. My own favorite analog device is my Sota Cosmos Vacuum. It is a fabulous table for the money. The only other turntable I have interest in costs 60K without an arm. |
