My current set-up.
Omnitronic turntable, Kenwood amp / tuner combo (bought second hand from Cash Convertors a few years back) and hard rubbish find Phillips speakers.
I also have an old Sony amp that I’ll be hooking up one we renovate the lounge room.
Nice and minimal + street find speakers are always cool. I like combined amp/tuner’s … got me one as well.
Purists might scoff but for this reason sometimes you can pick up a bargain & save space too. Radio is always cool.
Been looking at tuners. There is a NAD tuner in Brisbane at the moment which would go well with my NAD 3020i amp.
Brought this back with me from NZ.
Plug in or 6 D batteries. Plenty of lights, ones on the top left/right respond to power/volume, line in, equaliser, double tape, 3D and ‘surround sound’.
Sweet.
^ Fucking rad. I used to use one of those bad boys when I worked the graveyard shift at a popular hamburger chain. We used to piggyback a crappy CD player. So much distorted Green Day, Soundgarden and RATM goodness!
I wonder whatever happened to it…
That’s all that matters, sweet
Just got given this Technics stereo system and spent the morning cleaning it from layers of dust.
Can anyone tell me about the quality of this system? I haven’t got any speakers to test it out yet.
Includes the following:
Equalizer SH 8038
CD Player SL P230
Cassette Player RS D190W
AM/FM Tuner ST Z780
AMP SU Z780
Turntable SL BD20
If any one in SYD wants some old hi-fi video stuff (mostly old amps etc), and lot of vintage tape/video camcorders etc, our new workshop space in the city has a whole shitload of stuff left form the last tennants. Most of it is broken-ish but would still be good for parts. Holla if you wanna have a dig.
I am in the market for some vintage bookshelf speakers if anyone sees anything decent. Wooden surrounds, not black.
Picked up a new old system last night:
Technics sl-d3 turntable
Yamaha ax-330e Amp
Coral BX-1001 speakers
Will set it up on the weekend and say goodbye to my current $30 portable boom box!
The guy I got it from is a full audiophile and he has a whole room full of records literally thousands. Heaps of great old Aussie punk/metal/garage from the past 30 or so years. It was sweet to check out.
Discovered the other day I need a new needle for my turntable. 
Folks recently gave me a Technics SL-B210 player, needed a new stylus and belt so dropped about $30 bucks all up.
Running through an amp/tuner given to me by a friend going overseas, can’t remember the brand.
This all runs through some edirol stereo monitors from my music recording days.
Pics when rolling.
EDIT: Also scored a couple of rad boom boxes from Sydney Uni when they did a clean out. CD player for my workshop and a tape player for the rooftop.
My homemade amplifier is operational. Placed it into the Kriesler cabinet while the family was in Sydney but haven’t properly secured it and wired it in yet. The Debut turntable running into it is excellent, I need to replace the speakers though as the current full range magnavox paper cone speakers are absolute poo. Still it feels good to have the hardest bits done and I just need a child-free afternoon to wire it all in properly.
Current setup:
Thorens TD 160 Super > Ortofon 2M blue > Rega Fono Mini > Audioengine A5
Just got the Ortofon cartridge last week (installed via dremel lol). Turned out awesome!
Just need a new belt, as it can play 33rpm fine but not 45 :\
Nice 
Places like that scare me and I’d have a hard time passing all that vinyl and not being tempted to buy some.
Danger, danger !!!
You guys need to follow a mate of mine on instagram: Instagram
He’s got the dumbest amount of records ever. Oh, and if yr in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast, he’s running a record fair this weekend.
I haz an old 70’s Onkyo with a valve amp and RCA inputs at home. The sound is warm and amazing. The missus is dead keep to dump it now even though she bought it a couple of years ago. It has a few faults but still works if you twiddle the dials just right. Luckily Ive managed to convince a mate to whos right into his stereo equipment and is able to repair it to take it.
i bought one of these a couple of weeks ago…bit of a birthday present. not vintage but hi-fi. so nice.
Got this last year sometime, photo taken back then. Still have it and love it, haven’t bought records for a while though!
