I mean, the format for listening to music that is. PIC HEAVY SORRY!

Except rich5660 he's not allowed to post here.

I've had a collection for a few years now, but only just started to get a half decent setup together.

So my better half and my parents bought me this for xmas. ATLP120 TT with at95e Cartridge. I wanted something half decent, with a built in preamp that didn't cost the earth. This fitted the bill nicely.

So after a while of listening with that connected up to my soundbar I knew I needed something else. So I found a nice Denon amp from the late 80s on eBay for around £50.

I listen to mainly Classic Rock & Johnny Cash so this little thing is ideal, nice and punchy.

Had that plugged into some old speakers my Dad had in his shed that I stole for a while, then of course I had to get something new...

So I picked up some Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s for a nice price. Now I think I'm happy with the budget setup I've got. I even built my own hifi rack from Ikea tables.

Wow,
If you'd asked that question 25 odd years ago, I would of answered that I have a NAD amplifier along with matching cassette deck(remember those). Turntable wise I had two phase audio turn tables direct drive(+ or - 6) with a Numark mixing station with a D.A.T recorder(Bedroom DJ)
Can't remember the speakers make but were loud !!

I remember recording records onto tape for listening in the car as a kid and I'm only in my late 20s.

Records are expensive now, around 20 quid for a brand new pressing. I'm not an audiophile by any means but I do prefer having the physical medium in my hands, flick through the sleeve notes etc. Mainly though actually listening to a whole album cover to cover. Brilliant.

...I'm off to stick some johnny cash on.

I have to wind the bass down otherwise I think they'll be a banging on the ceiling. Only got the new speakers other day, I'll be cranking them to some Metallica tomorrow afternoon.

Never looked back!
