What's the turntable in one of the shots?

Interesting question, I don’t recognise it, though certainly looks ‘70s-early-80s Japanese, and decent. The amp on the bottom shelf is a Sony TA-F6B, I assume just being used as a preamp. An unusual amp, very early switch-mode PSU (I had one for a while and it blew up!).

I’m sure I’ve seen these, or an identical pair with a near identical back story, up for sale a while ago.

Spot on. It's a YP-D71

I had a TA-F6B as well, beautiful thing. Very good sound too.

 

[VanDerGraaf]

Those M1s would be quite something, I'm sure.

The description was going well until the "blows out of the water" meme.

These have been on before I am sure

The look really thin. And he’s got them in a corner. If they work well in a corner - well I’d be tempted.
