Hmm...well, I have accumulated a lot of stuff over the years. Nothing really super high-end, but in its' day some of these things had their day in the sun. I also have a few turntables scattered around the place...Yamaha PX3 and a couple others with S-arms, but nothing like what others have out here.
The short rack with Yamaha PF-1000 turntable on the shelf is in the garage loft of the man cave. Yes that is a 60 gallon IR 2-stage compressor to the right (I did say MAN cave
). This also has the WOPL 400-II and Carver C1 of recent rebuild. Speakers are rebuilt ADS 1230...absolutely amazing sound.
The tall rack is in the garage bay and has a bunch of things I've owned since new ... NAK 682ZX, PL 3600, Acurus250 amp and a few other gizmos to tie it all together. I've had the Teac A-2300S since new in 1975. Sure would like to refresh it some day but all those discrete components will likely need replacing ... cost would be astronomical. The speakers are super rare Ortofon 445 (outside pair) and 335 (inside pair) ... pretty good sounding in a space that has concrete floors and wooden walls and not at optimal listening height. But it rattles the walls.
One of the bedrooms has my original Dynaco rack I built in the late 70s ... and rebuild the Pat4 and ST-120 with current day components and some enhancements that did not exist back in the day. the ADS L9e speakers sound absolutely amazing with this system. Unfortunately my wife does not share my enthusiasm for volumes greater than 11 ... so back to the man cave systems!
