In 1980 I was using the very same cartridge in my Rega 3 ( S-shaped arm) that I am now using in my Ittok LVIII - my A&R P77 so I have come full circle, although the tip is different, was a Paroc and is now an HE. My amp is the same make - Sugden, then an A48II and now an A21SE) and my speakers are/were 2-ways also, both designed by Mr Comeau (then HB2s and now WD25TEx. Only my phono is now vastly superior - OTT rebuilt Puresound P10 in 2 boxes c/w the then Sugden phono input on the orange/brown monster.
I also drive the same 1975 VW Beetle 1303 (bought new in 1975)so I´m a boring sod - plus ça change, cést la même chose. Still playing the same discs, too. Mayall, Hartley, Van, Blodwyn, Mac. and the odd Bill Evans with a bit of the Dan.
In my defence, I do live in a time warp on the southernmost fringe of the EU where the nearest thing to a hifi shop is a Media Markt.
Sorry, forgot to mention my most recent additions - my Addis pads all over the place.
