I have a medium sized vinyl collection, about thousand LP's. Mostly
Jazz, flamenco guitar, some pop and classical and "other." I have a hot
rodded ancient AR turntable and a custom tube preamp I designed. I used
to be a complete audio nut, but I'm more relaxed now. For outdated
photos of my system in my living room, see: http://invalid.ed.unit.no/
~dunker/diy_hrn.html Scroll down to about the middle of the page for a
written description and photos. The open reel is long gone, as are the
preamp and amp. But the monster horn loudspeakers remain. Horns rule!

Actually, vinyl is still around and better than ever.
Be seeing you.
