If you were lucky enough to be into HiFi in 1962 your "all out assault" system would look something like this (aside from the power conditioner and transporter).
I prefer the sound of vintage gear and found this combination to be just right. I didn't really plan it that way but it's just the way it worked out. This is an example of what a system from the "golden age of HiFi" can look and sound like. Check it out and let me know what you think.
The Fairchild is a really sweet and musical table. It has a very rare Fairchild arm that was only made one year. I am using a Shure V15VxMR Cartridge. I use to have a Nottingham Space Deck with a Benz Micro Glider cartridge. The Fairchild 412 is a lot more musical and seems put you into a time warp. The Nottingham plays records like a CD player plays CD's but that's where it stops. Once you hear the 412 you can't stop playing, Its like "oh whats this record going to sound like"
