Four months ago, at age 60, after 30 years of not visiting here, I made Aliyah to Israel under the country’s Law of Return and just last week my Lift (Container) arrived with the rest of all my belongings including my gear and music collection.  I chose all dual voltage gear, items that can be converted to 230V/50Hz.  I also wanted to get away from tubes and separates to have less boxes.  I’ve always had this thing for shoebox sized British integrated amps and always loved British 2 way speakers.  This was going to be my desert island system.  Affordable, not over the top, tube gear is my favorite, but not knowing the electrical system here, the weather, and the cost of electricity, I decided solid state would be best.  I also prefer class A/AB to class D and since I found a 220V Meridian 504 tuner, I figured I’d splurge and get the matching integrated amp & remote… and since I can’t decide on just one system, I got the Linn  Majik I too.  I love the Monitor Audio R700MD’s and when I had the opportunity to buy back the ProAc Studio Tablettes that I sold months earlier, I did it as well.  Now, all I need to do is convert voltages on several pieces and then I’m up and listening.
