New Old Hi Fi System

[jazzy_dave]

Thanks to cmcmck and hubby for the donation of this Technics system. Already listened to the CD and played a few twelve inch singles on it. Picked it up from their Gillingham home today. Speakers next visit, so i am using my headphones at the moment.

They are a wonderful couple, and it was great to finally meet up with her.

Glad you are enjoying!

We're pleased to have found an appreciative home for it!

it was good to finally meet you too.

I think I've found the missing plug- it had ended up in a box with another amplifier from our spare system that it didn't belong to! Dunno how that happened.

Oh well, i will pick it up with the speakers on my next visit. I have already been listening to some old classic LP's of mine , Al Green - Full of Fire, and John Kongos - Kongos LP, both early seventies plus a few disco twelve inchers and some of that Sibelius CD.

Do you know roughly the size of the speakers as i may bring a trolley suitcase to bring them in.

BTW - rediscovering music is real fun. Thanks again.

I think they'd go into a medium sized case if you have such- they're a medium sized set.

Glad you're enjoying!

Whoa! Dual Cassettes and a turntable too. Think I've got a deck under my bed. Tapes in the closet.

*grins*

That phrasing is causing the technologist side of my brain some considerable aching. ^_^; I think I see what you mean, though.

At least, I do hope so. =:)

I miss my original hi-fi. Well, not mine as such - the family's, really. It was made for us by a family friend, back when we had a little "country club" (now up for sale - yours for only around £850,000!), where I in fact came into the world. It was, physically, like a long table/desk that opened up, if you get my meaning, in three sections: on the left, the AM/FM radio (with magic eye tuning indicator!), in the middle, a reel to reel tape deck, and on the right, a record player, with the amplifier built into one of the sections, plus a couple control switches to enable a feed to another set of speakers.

It was a good setup. I remember Terry Wogan's dulcet tones coming over its speakers (again, built for the system). Eventually, of course, it packed in, let alone being a hefty piece of equipment - but it served its time very well, and made possible many happy evenings.

Yep, i really meant to say playing the vinyl on the deck part of it, not the CD player, lol!

It is great listening to vinyl gain though.
