Batty Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 OK another silly thread about gear you have put together for family or friends.
Batty Posted November 1, 2019 Author Posted November 1, 2019 My wife has been setting a woodworking area in the shed and asked me to add some music for her. She now has an SB touch into an MF A1 to Usher S520s in her shed. Our son nearly died when he heard it, he has no idea of anything hifi etc. So........... what have you done? Pics are good, I'll add some soon. 1

wen Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 i set up my stepson with a vintage Marantz system, an ortophon 2M erd and a Cambridge 640 phono, he has since bought Paridigm speakers, i also gave him app 150 LP's culled from my collection and other donated to me, have been looking for an automatic turntable for him as a present, that is a work in progress 1
KRSDarwin Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Been working with my (now 17yo) son over the last couple of years to build his system. Mostly secondhand gear, some of it mine. He purchased the cabinet from IKEA and put it together himself. Family and friends are also great for upgrades. A friends family has my old Bose Lifestyle 18 (first “system”), my sister and brother in law have my Denon AVR 4311 and Paradigm Cinema series speakers and Paradigm sub and Denon CDP (second system), my parents have my Focal Bird system and Rega Apollo CDP. 2
Pim Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I set up a Sonos system that my sister in law bought for my brother's 50th birthday. I have to say, for the money, it sounded surprisingly mediocre. 1
