Hi guys and girls, I have an old Technics SE-A100 power amplifier and need it repaired, anyone good in Perth that people could recommend?

You could try the Turntable Doctor (i think may service more than tt's) or Liquid Audio

I have used RF Waves for a few things now and been very satisfied with the results. 

Also, loved the thread too. Your system churn is great fun to watch!

2020 is over! Happy New Years everyone!!   We have had another addition to our system. Picked up a Luxman MQ-88uc valve amp. So more shuffling required. The 550AX has ended up in the lounge. Lots of different setups to trial. The 88uC has really lit a fire under the Klipschorns. They are sounding wonderful down low. 

New Luxman preamplifier ordered from the awesome people down at Frank Prowse HIFI. So have a CL-38uC inbound to match with the new valve amp. Might be time to move on my Sony Pre-Esprit components.

Great thread....happy new year ???????

Has anyone got experience with the Luxman PD-171 turntable?  Any suggestions for cartridges?  Thanks in advance

Latest setup. Still in a state of flux. More changes to come soon . 

Updates! Audio room cleaned out and renovations in process. Extended right nook wall for the K-Horns. Removed bi-fold doors and installed Art Deco French doors and new studded wall. Paint going on next week. ?

More progress. Ceilings painted and walls ongoing. All termite damage removed and back on the road to recovery :). Will be looking forward to hooking the hifi equipment back up

Painting is completed. Now time for some lights 

Paint is all dry, a few fixings and lights to go. Once the electrical is done, up come the floor protection and then it’s time to move back in

The floors are ready, now I just need to move the goodies back in!

It’s been a while, but finally changing things up in my retro place of happiness! New arrivals yesterday

 

I spy some Wharfedale E90s in the background...

That looks great, love the ceiling rafters.

Nice cat!

 

Oh...wait! is it a dog?

 

Nice job

It has been a while, and there has been some progress.  Slowly moving back into the room. . . 

Long time between updates.  Finally getting the room sorted.  The room sounds much better since removing the bi-fold glass doors and adding all the sound proofing

Wow.

@Tony M a rival to the shed?

Wow!  That is a gorgeous room!  Love the mid-century style with a few hints at Art Deco.  The ceiling is unique and looks fantastic and the colours are great.

 

It all comes together as a very welcoming space that would be a delight to spend time in.

 

I think the difference is that my "shed" has simply evolved with very little overall planning so it's a bit more random and eclectic - less considered and stylish.  Also. the shed is less audio purist, having to double as a sort of Home Theatre, albeit only 2 channel.  No to mention that I don't have a functional TT currently.  Maybe that's a potential way for me to scratch an old itch and gain a little audiophile cred? 

 

It's great to admire what others have achieved and derive inspiration where possible.  And that room is totally inspirational!
