Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

They just had the avondale rectifiers replaced for newer ones. Its fair to say, there’s not much scope for extra foo with the parts that you put into these when you built them! They sounded great when I put them back in, slightly different emphasis than the Tokin SIT amp.

Where are you with it all rob, I still remember that short time listening when I first picked up the sits, blowing my mind, was it Thomas Mayer amps at the time I can’t remember the exact but they were huge ?

These look like the madcap laughing

Setup might have taken 10 minutes including hoovering up the inevitable explosion of polystyrene.

TBH I didn’t trust the Sonos “line in” but it worked fine straight away.

Thanks again chaps.

White vinyl - who knew, huh?

Oh yes, it’s currently on the TV rack (that has become increasingly depopulated over the years) which is quite awkward. Decent stand arriving Friday or maybe tomorrow.

I lifted the stylus and it carried on playing for about a second :laughing:

The new 33/306 will fit nicely on that shelf once your new furniture arrives.

Not sure where the record cleaning machine is going to go though. :grinning:
