Hello everyone. One of the greatest loves of my life is music and stereo equipment. For the last several years, I have been without a decent stereo system, and I have dearly missed it. A couple of months ago, I got the urge to build a new system, and since I'm on a tight budget, I figured I could get more bang for my buck if I went with older vintage equipment instead of brand new. I finished putting it together last weekend, and this is what I came up with:
Technics LS-B211U belt drive turntable. JVC RX-705V stereo surround sound receiver. JVC three head direct drive cassette deck JVC 6 disc + 1 CD player * Klipsch Reference series RF-10 speakers * Audio component cabinet * = brand new I really am enjoying this system, and frankly had forgotten how much I missed having a decent system to play my records. here are a few pictures. |

Yeah, I got bitten by that bug a little over a year ago. I updated some components in the living room and ended up setting up one of my spare bedrooms as a library/listening room (no screens). That room got the components that remain from my college era system and I replaced the pieces that had gotten away from me with items that duplicated the originals as closely as possible. The one thing I haven't figured out where to place is a pair of Advent 1 speakers that I snagged from my parents' house last summer when they were packing up to move. That can be a project for after the semester ends. Too many papers to grade right now.

Nice job! I love older stereo equipment. I have picked up some good pieces at thrift stores and similar places that just needed a good cleaning to work again. |
