When I saw the first picture I thought it was a "wind up"!
Then I saw the last picture and it has given me "the needle"! :-buttkick:D
 
Very nice stuff chaps. I love Technics and Denon stuff. I even owned a Denon AV receiver but sold it (in favour of the Marantz).

Great Gear ! all that black, i had all technics, pioneer deck and tannoy speakers until recently let them go for next to nothing:( ok in my last place but now i have no room, promised my self i would replace it sometime with a nice mini system??
 
I had a A Marantz SR4200 AV receiver for about 10 years after my Kenwood AV expired :( with Kef Cadenza speakers my best amp 25+ years ago was a NAD with Vu meters another family member had a Quad Electostatic system with speakers like radiators sounded very good.

Most of the equipment I have bought over the last 3 years has been made in China after 14 months some of them fail to operate as it was intended :(
The French Focal Chorus Speakers are excellent as is the Denon Amp & TEAC CD usb player recorder I cannot fault the SoundLAB Professional USB Belt Drive Turn table just as good as byThorens Turntable
deck that weighed a ton :eek:

Your thorens turntable what model is it please? A Td 185?
 
Makes me want to unpack all my Kit again which is in storage to keep it away from the kids.

My set up consists of a Cambridge Audio A5 Amp, a Teac W-480C Twin Cassette deck, Marantz CD4000 CD player, a Cambridge Audio T500 Tuner, a Yamaha MDX-595 Minidisc recorder connected to a set of Tannoy Mercury MR2 Speakers.

The CD Player and Minidisc player are connected to the amp using Chord Crimson interconnects whilst the rest are a mixture of QED Reference and IXOS interconnects. Speaker cable used is of the Audioquest varity. Sounds awesome when its turned up for what is a pretty basic low end system. The interconnects and speaker cable make all the difference.

Sounds like a nice setup:-)
 
I'm just hoping the various seperates run on 100v otherwise they will be going on eBay as they won't be much use to me across the pond. I know running them through a step up transformer will introduce hum into the system making it pointless.

Marantz 2245 - 45 W RMS - has been with me since 1971 - works perfectly in original form. Never saw a Tech.- two Tamon 80W (Music) Speakers - same date as Marantz and a JVC Turntable. stowed away, also in perfect working condition.

Nothing special here - an old Aiwa ZL720

We did have the record deck as well but as we no longer have any records that went in the recycling bins a few years ago. The cassette desks are no longer operational but as we only ever play cd's on it or route the sound off the sky & dvd boxes through it its no loss.

The speakers give a decent sound for what was not a particularly expensive av system.

In addition I have wireless headphones for my mp3's which are streamed off the NASbox onto my beloved old Dell desktop computer. :)
 
Where most of my music comes from at the moment....

I have started off with a new Johnny cash - out among the stars, then played some JJ Cale now on an aquatic quo. But that's on my mad drive :-)

I like Neil diamond, might dig some out.
