Michael´s System

by saba777 on

Description

It all started with a german Saba Freiburg 100 tube radio. It had the best sound of all tube radios. Soon I wanted to play records too. I bought a suitcase record player with a crystal pickup and a friction wheel drive. After a while I noticed that the playback noise was often louder than the useful signal. I needed a better pickup and drive. Then i  bought a Technics SL-3210 turntable, a Technics VU-8800K integrated amplifier, and a pair of Pilot V1 speakers. 
I was satisfied with that for a long time until I heard some hi-end systems. Then i tried out various pickups, amplifiers and loudspeakers.What came next, I have until now and I am still completely satisfied.

Nice vintage hi-fi. I'm also loving your vintage camera collection. I likewise have a lesser collection.
