Another my passion, collecting vintage hi-fi, old tube radio, ecc

[Audi-Porsche Avant RS2]

Hello friends, my passion is not only S2, RS2 and Cabriolet, I love also collecting vintage hi-fi, old tube radio, ecc.

I really love Pioneer

Here some pictures of a small part of my collection

And you store this in your little brothers room? I guess you don't need a radiator in winter time to heat the room...... with all this equipment ON

Retro hi fi

Nice.
I used to work for Bang & Olufsen ( I know not real hifi ) and have a bit of a passion for old stuff myself.
I used to have a Red Dragon Nakamichi tape deck - really sort after now.
Have a collection of old B&O stuff etc.
Just putting together a home cinema in my new extension plus a pair of proper "audition" speakers.
Probabaly go with B&W 800 series - haven't decided exactly which model yet.

Nice collection of kit you've got there Alessio.

I recently bought a 1984 Naim NAP250, it's the best sounding amp that I've ever heard. The depth in sound is amazing, I hear parts of tunes I've never heard before! I'd love some 800 series B&Ws but for now I'm happy with my DM603 S3s which are a great pair of speakers for the money!

Sold my 603's when our daughter came along.
I knew they wouldn't last long.
Now she is 6 years old and having a dedicated room for all things audio means I can go back to floorstanders again. woo hoo.

My first "proper" deck was a Pioneer PL12 D ( with a Shure M75 ED II cartridge ). Quality kit compared to what else was around at the time (1973).

All that pioneer kit yet no Pioneer A-550R

Even I have an A-550R (admittedly it is in a box in the loft along with my Aurex system).

nice, I knew there had to be other audiophiles here .

I have a Marantz 2230 receiver in the living and a Thorens TD145mk2 turntable and a Nakamichi BX125 cassettedeck (and a modern DVD/CS/SACD from Pioneer). The Marantz was recently refurbished by an amp specialist, so should last for another 30 years. Still waiting to be cleaned or repaired is a Revox B77 reel tapedeck (it's not functioning OK, probably a clean and maybe replace a relay or so)

Alessio where is the best place to buy spares for Pioneer equipment? I need a headphone jack assembly for a Pioneer AV amp, its nothing old or fancy, probably made in the last 10 years.

Cheers,

Mark.

Some nice gear there !

I'm fortunate enough to live next door to someone who does the design work for ATC Louspeakers and I live a few doors down from someone who works at Mclaren, I haven't heard the Mclaren stuff but the ATC equipment is out of this world, as is the price tag !

John Newsh works for a similar firm who turn out some rather decent audio equipment

[maartenmoerman]

I have philips (relatively modern) turntable, and a Quad 33/FM33 hooked up to a Quad 303 amplifier, which are connected to B&W speakers (DM605), not very bad value for money i would say

[chezz]

Most of this is pretty much 80'/90s gear
Deep breath! here we go...

Linn LP12 Rosewood/Kusma Stogi AT F-3
Nakamichi PA -5 (beast weighs 35lb)
Nva Pre- amp with its own seperate power supply
Acoustic Energy AE1'S - awesome speakers.
Micromega T drive CD with Orelle DAC.
Sony TCFX5 Cassette Deck

My second system comprises of ;
Castle Chesters speakers
Aura VA - 50
SONY CD
