I’ve got it in my head that HRH Prince Charles has a Linn system. Not sure where I heard it though so I may be wrong
Celebrity hifi systems

Another couple of shots of Macca and his fab gear. I'm guessing the speakers are the orangey-brown jobs either side of the LPs.

Surely Linn would have one of those royal warrant thingies if that were the case? Never ones to pass up a marketing opportunity!

Looks like a twin tape deck and an old Harman Kardon CD player behind him on that picture. Their CD players certainly had that profile in the 90s.

His youngest brother has a basic B&O system. I've heard it a few times.

That's a Goldring 2000 series Nagaoka on the M2 there, too. Could be the camera angle, but pivot to spindle looks to be set a bit short.
Paul looks good though.

It is really hard to work out what is what. That could just be a wet vacuum record cleaner at the far-left on the shelf too. I’ve stood right next to him (Peter Blake private view, Tate Liverpool), so could have asked him!

Looks like a Keith Monks with the lid down.

Could it be a Loricraft?

He could do with a shave an' all.
Was that the lily the pink man ?. Seem to remember one of the macca s a long ago banging that one out. Also very cool to know a macca.
He would have a Gyrodec, it's the best looking turntable ever made and plays records with little fuss. If Apple made turntables.... fair play to him!

I was there too, so you probably stood next to me as well!

I don't think anyone has said it's a stunning revelation. Surely it's of enough intrigue for a thread on PFM to discuss what famous people own what hifi?
it's interesting enough to pass an idle moment. Most musos will have multiple systems. I remember a photo of Ronnie Wood, or some other Stone, in his home studio. He had shelves behind him with any amount of stuff, there was a Quad 50e or possibly a 303 just parked on its side. No re verence there, it's just a tool. Similarly Prince had an Amcron Crown the same as mine d in one room in Paisley Park.

Jack Nicholson used to insist on some piece of Mackintosh kit appearing in his movies. Maxine Peake is a prog rock fan and has nice little setup. Back in the early to late 80s, a lot of musos "gateway drug" into Hifi was a Nakamichi cassette deck. As, pretty much, the only place you could buy them was in a HiFi shop, they'd go in for a cassette deck and leave with a whole system.
