My "vintage" stereo setup
« on: March 21, 2008, 01:28:37 pm »
Nothing fancy like vacuum tubes but I have a real fondness for this unit.  Circa 1970's Marantz 2325 with a Technics SL 1900 direct drive turntable.   Bought them both years ago and never got around to hooking them up.  I finally picked up some speakers and got it going.  My wife and I have a few records left over from the olden days and it's nice to still be able to enjoy them.



Bonus points if you can name the four albums on the wall.  :)

Anyone else got pics of their setup?

Led Zeppelin I is on the top left, and I've seen the one on the top right but I can't think of the name. Don't know the bottom two.

I really like the setup you have goin. To me it seems like older equipment could challenge the quality of todays manufacturing..cheap plastic, bah.

Slowly but surely I've been pulling a record collection together, Brian eno, 60's moog, jamaican ska..maybe this summer I'll find a nice record player at a yard sale.

Thanks guys.  Only one left...  That Marvin Gaye album is one of the most underrated ever, IMO.  I'd recommend it to anyone.

And pay no attention to the Batman Read-Along on the shelf that I've had for 35 years.   ;)

Bottom Right: Steely Dan Goucho

I believe the cover from the Marvin Gaye album was featured in the credits of the TV show Good Times.  I did not realize it had been an album cover.  Always wanted a print of that.  Good picture.

Nice job, people!  :cheers:

I'd love to have a print of it, as well.
