Lee Adams Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, my name is Les and I recently joined this forum. I live in Surrey, United Kingdom and I am a producer of quality music radio programs for various radio and digital networks. I am also a hi-fi enthusiast having started my working life in 1970 at one of London's leading high end hi-fi stores when brands such as Leak, Quad and Ferrograph were the market leaders. Valves had just been replaced by those confounded transistor things and Bang & Olufsen made the best TV sets along with Sony Trintron. I have owned many systems for personal listening over the years. My current system is listed below. Vinyl: Garrard 401 in skeletal plinth, SME 3009s2 imp arm fitted with a Shure V15Vxmr with a Jico SAS stylus. Trichord Dino phono stage. CD: Maranrz CD6006UK special edition. Pre/power amps: Quad 99-909 Speakers: Audiovector Mi3 Signature on granite plinths, Supra screened cables. Audio interconnects: van den hul 102mk 2 A pleasure to be in the group and I look forward to some interesting conversations Les.

Plz contribute your experience here Thank you djb, Ferrograph were primarily a manufacturer of open reel tape decks, but they also made at least one amplifier. Long gone now, but a few enthusiasts still keep them alive. Their tape machines (except the model 8 which was an unreliable mess of a transport) were better than the comparable Revox machines of the day, but Revox won the battle with keen pricing and marketing. I must say I am very happy with my system, I think it's time to stop and enjoy it now. The law of diminishing returns applies above where I am now.
