Still happily using vintage gear?
Except for the 3 year old room, my gear is 35 years old or much older (speakers are from 1956, almost as old as me). I’m happy with it. I’d put it up against most new stuff these days. https://www.theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about |
I have a Thorens TD 320 since new, it's about 35 yrs old. I also have a Scott LK -150 early 60' vintage, dual mono tube amp,I bought as a teenager. It's been in storage for years ( I know it's a crime) needs some TLC, was saving it for "the Beach House" but that has yet to happen. Maybe someone would like to restore it.. Most of my stuff is a mix of gear from the 90's and early 21 century. A lot of updated McCormack gear in particular.... |
I am still running my Pioneer tt that was purchased in 1974. Another that is not in my main system but still pulling duty at my wife's business in my Sansui 7070 receiver. This Sansui has been left on and running steady for the last 30 years. Only time turn off was power failures. It was purchased new in 1975. |
Oldest is my reference standard Dynaco system: PAS3, ST70, A-25. Electronics have been completely restored with every resistor, capacitor, switch, pot, pathway verified or repaired/replaced with identical in order to maintain dead stock originality. A-25s are still in factory boxes, never hooked up. Still have factory box for ST70, too. Using ProAc Response 2s speakers with it now, but at some point, I’ll finally hook up A-25s and hear what David Hafler intended. |
