AudiogoN Forums: An Advent Guy

An Advent Guy

Last weekend I hooked up a pair of my Large Advents just to remind myself that before I became a wannabe audiophile, I was just an Advent guy. I guess I still am. Any golden oldie still knock you out (for no particular reason)?

They are a classic.

I know it ain't perfect but I'm loving the sound coming out of my early 80's vintage Dual 1264 table with almost as ancient Goldring MM cartridge in in my second system more than ever with the equally vintage Yamaha cr-420 receiver I adapted off Ebay last summer.

OK the speakers are less dated Triangle Titus 202s, but don't hold that against me. Hey, even they are amazingly a good 9-10 years old already as well!
