Not sure that the Thorens was built in the UK though...

Still a good run for a turntable non the less.

Im still using a van den Hul Grasshopper IV I bought in 1998. It’s been regularly rebuilt by the maker.

TP improved on my Avondaled 250. But moved on since.

Still own (most of) my 1989 LP12 and 1992 EAR phono.

Both a little over five years.

Hi,

LP12, 1980, cannot remember the arm think the cartridge was something I bought from Japan, got a Syrinx as Scott was developing the arm in the shop I used to go to, cartridge was a Supex, then got the Ittok not long after the Syrinx.

Happy Days, still have the LP12, Ittok and Karma, still sounds like music.

Cheers

John

I usually don't hold on to my hifi for more than 5 years. The longest that stayed was the B&W CDM 1SE (13 years I think) which I sold several years ago.

The baton has been passed on to the Naim NAC202 and NAP200 now, bought in 2010. It has been in the system for 8 years.

For me it's 8 months. That's my Red Rose speakers, which are not going anywhere. They do pretty well on the end of my Hegel Rost (6 months). However I've got an Esoteric F-05 here for a few weeks that just makes me realise how much more I can get out of them.

Not sure how to post pics here
It is an Olive 01
Basically took my CB 01 and came back Olive
Not cheap but I’ve had this tuner over 30yrs. The amortized costs are cheap
Listening as I write this to some lovely old jazz
