Changed the system orientation and moved components around, a bit more to do with a new incoming item shortly. Now to get rid of all those pesky records Hope you don't regret it. No TT. How long will you last. 2 1

Well if I sell my records relatively soon then I should be ok. I was a late convert to Vinyl, I see the attraction and I had it sounding wonderful but in the end not for me. I definitely see the attraction though.... 5

Dual 1228 turntable, 1972 Shure M55EM cartridge, 1967-74 Rotel RA-412 Amplifier, 1976 BluDento Bluetooth Receiver, 2024 Goodmans Magnum SL speakers, 1970. A good budget vintage system for under $850. I bet those ultra dense speaker stands cost a bomb though. Seriously, I'd also bet you enjoy your music as much as any participant in this thread through your lovely old system. 1

Hi Phil , I bought them off a guy who was making them in his garage here in Perth - alas he doesn’t seem to be any more , as I wouldn’t mind a couple more myself. 2

Be Quiet...Listen Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Started off with a trio some months back, now have a smattering. I have not come across an isolation product better than these and I’ve tried a good few. The jump in realism is simply captivating. Can’t wait to spread it out among the constituents. 4 2

Nice haul Travis. I'm just curious, what was your logic for choosing the round or square EVP's? As i'd assume they both perform equally well.
rsa17 Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Current system. Just took possession of a Sansui amplifier AU-2900. Its been fully restored by a guy in Brisbane by the name of Colin Pyle, and it sounds great. The main turntable is a Dual 1228 running a Shure M55EM cartridge. The turntable to the left is an AMI Jorgen T-500P running an Audio-Technica AT3600L. Speakers are English made Goodmans Magnum SL's and Bluetooth receiver is by BluDento and runs a Burr-Brown DAC chipset. 16
Darryl Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Very nice. I need to get myself something like this.

No real reason other than that. 1
