Description

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.

    A wonderful speaker, The best of the Best.
    • Heathkit AA-11
    A wonderful preamp, Many say is as good as Marantz C7, Full of Mullard 12Ax7's
    • Heathkit AA-40
    A really sweet 40 watts per channel amp. Most will say if you have one you have gold. I know what they are saying.
    • Fairchild 412
    Built in 1960 a nice smooth table with a wonderful sound.
    • Shure V15VxMR
    You listen and decide for yourself. It's the best cart I have ever heard.
    • Slim Devices Transporter
    What a nice network music server. The latest slim server software really is nice.
    • PS Audio Power Regenrator
    Works nice with the vintage equipment. I can turn down the voltage to a nice 113v. Real easy on the old stuff.

Very cool, though you should have a Shure M75E cartridge. You could get a better Jico SAS stylus for it.

I'm heading down that road too in our spare room. I just purchased a '66 McIntosh MA5100 integrated amp, that is off to Terry DeWick for repair and upgrading. Prior to buying the Mac, the same day in fact, I sold a Dual 1019 w/ Shure M75E that I wish I didn't sell, but I didn't know I was going to find the Mac locally. I do have a 70s TT to use. Now I need to find appropriate speakers with good detail and dynamics to compliment the Mac
