My EMT 950e fully restored with TSD SFL cartridge
The first-best-last analog item you ever bought
I bought a Heathkit WAP- 2, twenty watt dual chassis amplifier in 1955. My grandpa, in the midwest it's grandpa and not grandfather, told me to buy a Magnavox console and be done with it. Little did he know where my choice would take me 53 years later.
Today, my best and last investment is in a RTR machine. The machines are cheap when compared to the alternatives. Unfortunately the software is scarce and expensive
.
Nothing good comes cheap. How about your thoughts.

@atmasphere , my dad had an Ampex. I do not recall the model. It was glorious. He had maybe 100 prerecorded 7.5 ips tapes. I must have worn them out. My own favorite analog device is my Sota Cosmos Vacuum. It is a fabulous table for the money. The only other turntable I have interest in costs 60K without an arm. |
The first was a KLH model 11 system my brother, friends and I would spend hours listening to records on this system. The great thing it was portable enough to bring outside on nice evenings. If I remember you could play a single LP or stack them, we always played the single LP as not to get them scratched. Many of those same LPs are still being played today
