MY BEST DEAL

My 1st best deal was to buy a second hand wilson benesch act one for abour 3000 usd. The second was to change the ML 331 poweramp to an Aronov tube integrated. Not only I got better sound at cheap, but allowed to sell all my fancy cords and cables to cheapo ones as I did not need anymore "tuning" to get something similar to music. Thirdly, buying a wilson benesch full circle turntable. Now, I changing bulk of my 2000 some cd collection to LPs, getting on each change 3-4usd mark up. And I have so much nicer and live sound.... The real deal is to have good sound at reasonably affordable price. Now I am there, while I have fantastic sound at home.

Ha! All the responses pale into significance when put up against my deal. How about this then, I got a 1974 Aiwa AP2500 direct drive turntable (with strobe) for £3.49. If someone can better that then I'll eat my interconnect.

Jardo.

@Jardo: start eating. A friend gave me a Thorens TD160B with an SME series IIIS arm for free! Only the tip of the Shure M95ED cartridge was broken. But I had a Ortofon MC15 Super II cartridge laying around that came in handy...... Let me know how an interconnect tastes though :) .

Jardo, PBJ?

You know how many bags end up ground up in a peanut butter product?
