Old school analog system

Does anyone care to discuss there old school analog system? What it is and what you like about it? Start with mine. This is my second system   
Onkyo A8087 Integrated amp with Onkyo T 4087 tuner ,TA2058 cassette deck, Phillips 777 turntable and KEF 104 AB. It sounds great and is a fun system. That I have had fora looooong time. Still makes me happy. Not as detailed as my main system but I still enjoy it.

We moved a few years back, and before setting up my system I listened extensively to everything I owned.  Harman Kardon Citation, GAS, McIntosh, Phase Linear, Sansui, Marantz, Krell etc.  several units from each over an extended period.

My favorite really surprised me.  There were high points with all of them, but the consistent ‘does everything just right’ was my 1977 Sansui 9090DB.  I still switch it out with others from time to time, but not for long.  It just sounds right to me, and it’s beautiful.

My favorite turntable is a modified Dual 1229 with a Grace 747 tone arm. I use a Pioneer RT-1050 half track for reel to reel duties and an ADVENT 201A for cassette.  CD is a marantz player who’s model escapes me.  My Garrard 301/SME 3009 gets plenty of play time as welll

chakstar,

I completely agree with you.  Something is seriously wrong when turntables start weighing several hundred pounds and cost mid six figures. Really?

You couldn’t give me one. I do miss my EMT 927, but I love the performance of my Dual 1229 and Garrard 301.

Your luxman is one of the best looking tables ever.  I had a PD-272 briefly.  It was silky smooth and played beautifully.
