Hi from Northumberland.

[Dryewater]

Just wanted to say hello

I'm new (as a contributor) to the AK site, but not to a passion for home audio.

Looking forward to reading, learning and enhancing my understanding of how to get the best out of my music collection

Cheers,

Steve

Hi D,Its a friendly place.Hope you enjoy yourself here.

Thanks - I've read the forum for years and although I joined sometime back I wanted to say hello properly.

I find the info herein invaluable when researching my next vintage purchase.

It's a superb resource for sure.

I guess this is the place to introduce my system, i have a limited budget but I'm proud of my vintage silver faced Pioneer powered system - as an aside I've just got hold of my first Hitachi vintage turntable: a superb (exceptional condition) HT50(s) - here's hoping it sounds okay when I hook it up next week

And here is the TT:



Thanks to the seller for the pic.

For me - an exciting purchase

 

[Dryewater]

I think most on here are on a limited budget for one reason or another however they have some fabulous Thrift/Recycler scores and some fabulous threads on restorations of amps and such. Just make sure you're not lured in by the compulsive gear hording disorder bug... ;-)

Thanks for that - my other half (darling wife) controls the impulse to over indulge

I'll be moving on my previous TT and the cycle continues...

At only 36 with two young kids and the rest... I can only afford relative bargains and certainly not any audiophile gear!

I reckon this late 70s hitachi quartz lock direct drive will suit me fine

Hi to everyone (again), wanted to share my latest purchase - the newish Pioneer floor standers are out and it's in with the old... As Hitachi seems to have no home herein

... My word do my (late 70s?) SS 8480G MKIIs blow everything I've heard away...

Simply awesome

Beautiful too, and all for £35.
