Since I like Supertramp a lot, I still have to get this one. As Your quote says, the music is quite different from what they did in the later 70´ies and early 80´ies. Interesting!

Thanks George, had totaly lost track of the fact that make cable yourself. I have been thinking of making power-cords before, I did make my own speaker cables, but they don´t look as good as Yours... RCA I want to use to connect my CD player to the Kenwood. Phono cables are an option for later, when other things are done, I need space first, shelves!! 😉

I´ve looked at the Mani. I´ve read opinions that say that the second (´22) edition is even better. It´s about 300€ in Germany. Well, I´m in no hurry.

Heard this pianist the first time on Radio Paradise. A little melancholic, but nice for quieter moments: Eluvium - Pianoworks

Just took the the time and hooked up the Dual 1218 to the Kenwood as well... What a difference! I noticed before, when I´d slung the M95 under the 601 (But still connected to the Marantz AVR.) an improvement in bass. But on the Kenwood – Bam!! So I have three TTs for the living room/ man-cave. Two go on the Kenwood, and I need a phono-pre for the Marantz. The Kenwood and TTs are to go on a seperate shelv, later on (Must build it first...). If I want to connect it to my CD-player I´d need a cinch cable approximately 3m long. Good idea? (Shielding/ interference...??) Your ideas guys?

Doro Pesch and Band: I´m sure she moderated radio here in Berlin at the begin of the 80´s, but I can´t find anything about it anywhere. Maybe my imagination. 😆

For the time being, only the one on the floor is running correctly. The one in the shelve I need to fix. New arm and cabeling in it, I also want to switch from a DIN plug to cinch for the cable connecting the TT to the amp.

@MicroMara This one for example: https://www.ebay.de/itm/165874752842?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&campid=5338353465&toolid=20006&customid=s%3AGS%3Bpt%3A0%3Bd%3AD%3Bsi%3A100%3Bct%3A%3Bad%3A%3Bii%3A165874752842%3Bpr%3A%3Bcd%3A%3Bgc%3AEAIaIQobChMI86eG_uzL_AIVWwWLCh2qYgKaEAYYBCABEgL_xPD_BwE

Yes it rocks, I can testify as well now 😋. But in this case we´re talking about a little shop near Berlin that specialises in bringing back to life all those heavy, old HiFi- contraptions we like so much. So, now I´m down that rabbit-hole... Have to look for a matching tuner, maybe. Those things are as expensive or even more than the 8150...
-
I followed Your thread, very interesting! I`m looking forward to Your report on how they turned out in the end. You KG 3.5.1 EVO.
-
I need a loan!!! 😰 The combo KA8150 - Dual 601 - Heresy sounds really good, better than with the Marantz. I guess the phono stages in the Kenwood are better.
-
Yes, almost like new. Have You heard of Good Old HiFi ?
-
Go Dave, go!! Crank it!! 😈

Yep, ripped a pretty hole into my wallet. But it is a serviced unit. I´ve been pacing around it for a year now and finally pulled the trigger. Next I have to build more shelves to put it in, next to the two TTs that will connect to it. The guy who sold it also had a serviced Model 650 for sale, but that would have been 1.800€... Also interesting was a Optonica SM4646. Well, the Kenwood won, with it´s coolness-factor. Now spinning: Using the "shuffle function" by Discogs.

Now that You mention it... New slang, I love it!

What´s bromance? 😄 🙃

Some more DP, while testing this clunker:
-
A veritable side-business then! Great! Yo can buy more gear to mod! 🙃
-
I will look at it later today. The seller is very kind, he let´s me take it home to test in my room and my speakers ( I leave deposit (?) (The geman word would be "Pfand"...). Then I can decide, if I want to keep it. If I do, the deposit will be the first payment. Have to go with a friend. We´ll go in his car, I don´t own one, and the amp weighs 16 kilos...
-
Yes, that´s why buy used, most of the time. Can´t be helped with new albums though...
