Introduction

Only my second post, not seeing an introduction thread so just winging it. I have a pretty eclectic collection of gear, but it seems to work for me.

To start with my vinyl front ends include a modified AR XA, Thorens TD166MKII with upgraded pulley, Kenwood KD500 / Grace G707, and a Kenwood KD770D. Also have a Mitsubishi dp-ec8, but that I purchased for my son, it’s waiting for him to pick it up, along with the AR that’s recently bent gifted to him.

More about my gear later, about me, I’m a working electrician that’s been into electronic gear since childhood, and so majored in electronic engineering in school.

I’m also completely addicted to buying gear, every room has its own system lol.I’m thinking that’s as it should be but I’m kind of a lunatic so..............

Not sure if able to post pictures here, but here's a link to a picture of just one setup.

Most likely should look for a tt forum, or maybe a Kenwood forum to post this in. Will check later and possibly start a thread highlighting the changes to the big Kenny.

Oh, I've been collecting equipment for almost 50yrs, most gone in the great sell off of 2012 when my bride of 32yrs passed, the music had left my life for a time. So I understand what's important in life, I'm very happy with my systems. I've been rebuilding for a couple of yrs now, mostly in the past 10 months, but I'm about done. Just have to get around to organizing the Belles I / Infinity / Carver mancave system soon.
