Equipment notes:
"I just came back to analog sound. For fun, for pleasure,
by nostalgia.
It's great to re-discover this fabulous feeling.

cart*
Preamp / Tuner reVox A 720 with dixi digits + power amp A 722
Valves Power Amp Assemblage with Signature Kit (Fabulous sound) Assemblage was a
department of Sonic Frontier
1 Legendary reVox Tuner A 76, sound always so clear (ideal for live
recording )
1 reVox B740 power amplifer 2x100watts.(with significant upgrades by Swiss designer
Mr. Herve' Deletraz)
1 reel-to-reel reVox A 77 (as new) 4 tracks (not the best) but with its own
amp (Scarce)
My vintage system is constantly evolving by adding, replacing or removing components in the way of getting either more space or better sound. In this mind, the reVox power amp A722 has been removed to leave place to the reVox B740. A second tuner, A76 and a Thorens TD160 with Grado Black cart have also been removed. See Thorens Gallery (Serge's collection of Thorens turntables)
* some say it's not Audiophile.....well. But good regulated,
arm fine
lubricated, VTA well set and good tracking force, it makes more than
good illusion.
