I've been bitten by the Old Kit bug.
Tony first made me think about old Sony Tuners, and I started off with a 5950-SD, and have ended up with an astonishigly good Sony ST-A7B.
I'm selling my Naim 300 and will rely on my 25kg, Class A Marantz PM-94 which I currently use as a headphone amp. To say its battleship Build is an understatement and I think it looks lovely. The only thing it misses is needle indicators ( VU meters? ). As soon as the 252 is hooked in, I'll be able to listen to vinyl via headphones. Tuner top right, PM-94 sits below.
The sound quality of these pieces of kit is, IMO, extraordinary. AS far as VFM is concerned, its hard to beat. I've even purchased a Technics separates system for about £50, which is now set up in my garage.
Hurrah for old stuff.
