Vintage Vinyl

by johnwdt on Done For Now

Description

Patrician 800s = effortless scale, plus they do the little things well too, the 30" woofers are misunderstood and often discounted, mainly by people that have not heard them, The Fisher 200 mono amps are beautifully restored...The Reference Lenco is amazing in everyway, Just got a music server running off a Macbook and that has made Digital fun (for now).

Also Using afew Reel to Reels and the current favorite is a Technics 1500US, I have 1 Tape Project tape (Waltz for Debby) and hope to get more! I have a large collection of Pre recorded Classical and Jazz tapes...

    Jean's Latest and best...This is exactly like Arthur Salvatore's He likes his also!
    • Lenco L75 Green Monster
    The Infamous Green Monster was sent to 6moons for review, later it landed in my livingroom and stayed there for 3 years!
    • Lenco L75
    Massive 2 armed Lenco, 80lbs, designed and built by Jean Nantais. Wood finishing done by Mr Habib, a true craftsman, burled oak top plate, Mahogany sides. The plinth itself is MDF and Russian Birch ply. All the latest Jean tweaks! I have just this week mounted this on an Apollo wall shelf and that really helped the performance of the MG-1 arm. And the Rega arm is no slouch, the Expressimo mods take this arm about as far as an RB300 can go!

Everything looks great except for the custom Lenco. I suggest you ship it to me for long term storage, I promise to use it frequently to be sure the bearing does not dry out.

And 5,000 LP's?

Don't you realize digital is the wave of the future? I suggest you ship all those "old" vinyl records to me at the same time. After all, what kind of a friend would I be, unless I was willing to help out a fellow Audiogon member?

(Seriously, a great looking system, wish I could hear the turntable).
