Description

This is my retirement system.  I started putting it together 5 years ago. I carefully replaced all the components that I had purchased from 1985 to 2004 one at a time to ensure a good synergy between the components. The latest addition, my new Dynaudio Contour Legacy are quite special. They replaced my Harbeth 30.2 40th anniversary which were great. Not easy to find speakers of this caliber for the size of my room.

Well, the Andros is a wonderful phono section, my favorite of the many I've owned. I just got the step-up transformers changed from the Jensens that came with it, to the Cinemag transformers that the designer felt was an upgrade. He was right! I also got the power supply updated, and that made a big difference. 

In other words, I really enjoy what this phono section does for my vinyl listening. You can sort of sneak up on it by looking for some used SUT's and running your cartridge through that and into your built in phono section. I did that with a built in phono section (on a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista preamp), and it was a nice improvement.

What a nice system to accompany you in retirement! There is something about Class A amplification that just feels right to me. I hope you buy all the right records, and relax into that lovely room...
