I had just bought a Linn, my previous tt was Garrard Lab 80. That played into a Ferrograph integrated amp and tall Cambridge R50 transmission line speakers. Good English system. I particularly liked the speakers.
In the early 80s I bought a used Simon Yorke Zarathustra and sold the Linn; even then Linn was becoming B grade. I added Musical Fidelity's first product, the Pre-Amp and Krell's, the KSA 50. I still have the iconic Krell but the build quality on the Pre-Amp killed it off and I replaced it with the also iconic Audio Research SP10.
Never did move much to Eddie VH but RIP in any case and meet some of the real giants from before in the band in the sky.
