Man times passes, it just flyes by. Over 2 years since the last post here. And things have really changed in the music room.

Got hooked on vinyl. So new everything. New amplifier, and got back the nice pair of 2 way horn speakers but in another colur.
New subwoofers cables....

Don't know where to start.

I see I had just started with vinyl when the last post was writren back in 2019.
The technics 1210 Mk2 and the Puffin was a nice start. I later got myself an E.A.T B-Sharp with the ortofon 2m blue. Phonostage was the Puffin before I got a second hand ASR.

Lived quite happely with that for a while. But have always had an eye on the old Marantz turntables. So got an oopertunety to get a very nice model 6200 turntable, so could not recist. The ortofon 2m blue went to the marantz and the E.A.T got a Hana.

With two turntables one MM and one MC pickup I needed a phonostage with 2 inputs.

I also knew now that turntable and the vinyl sound was the way I needed to go. So I started looking a bit up the ladder. And after a few rounds I got home the PS Audio Stellar phono. And the wheel started to turn.

What a difference the phonostage did to the sound. Was so pleased, a major leap up the ladder for me.

Lived with that setup for about a year. And then it was the turntables turn to be changed. Sold the E.A.T and the marantz. I do miss the marantz sometimes. It looks just stunning.

While deciding on what turntable to get, I got a chanse to buy a old dream of mine. So new amplifier and rack came in

@Anubis
Are you still loving your Pathos? I had a Classic One MKIII which I mistakenly sold and while my Luxman Class A and Conrad Johnson Control amps are wonderful, Pathos keeps popping up in my audio psyche. :)
