Toby's SystemGilbodavid, those old tuners can be real treasures. Happy hunting! John's thread is a lot of fun and keeps tempting me to try a Decca--Lenco setup just to hear it. Thanks for sharing your impressio... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Toby's SystemThanks for the kind word! It's true, the TEAC deck is 80% a visual item. However my job is teaching second language English and I do sometimes need to make recordings for students, who only have ca... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Toby's SystemPsychic, thanks for dropping by. No, I don't actually think the T-1 is at the same level as the Klyne.What the Yamaha does have in common with the Klyne is value for money. This particular ... posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |

What do I need to upgrade now???It could go that way for me too, dear sir. If so, I too would part with amp and speakers before sources. The TT will still sound good through a boom box.Makes me think of a science fiction ... posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |

What do I need to upgrade now???I have a Klyne preamp myself, an SK-5A (with built-in phono), and I couldn't agree more about musicality. (I would say your rack looks real nice too, but that wouldn't be very original.)You... posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |

Toby's SystemI regret to say I haven't had the pleasure of hearing a current Klyne preamp. If anyone else would care to answer this one, I would be interested. ( Interested in an academic sort of way, since a 7... posted about 20 years ago | View comment | |
Toby's SystemI agree, a T1 is a very good deal. I can't claim credit for the choice, it was a friend's recommendation. I'm glad you like yours; I think I'll try to turn mine on a bit more often.I like t... posted about 20 years ago | View comment | |

Need some adviseMay I humbly agree with you and the other guys, the preamp should go first, but IMO it's a neck-and-neck race with the CD player.Never mind balanced cables for now, get a good equipment mat... posted almost 22 years ago | View comment |
