Here's a legendary pair: a 1970s Quad 405 amplifier and Quad FM-4 FM tuner (introduced in the 1980s), both courtesy of Vintage Chief.com. Even today the 405 is prized for its sweet sound quality, 100 watts per channel output from a compact design, and the FM-4 is a capable tuner with seven (why not six? or eight?) presets.
Teppaz turntables bring joy! They might not rival a VPI or a Linn or a Clearaudio, but they sure look great and are making this music-loving family very happy.
The mighty EMT 927A Studio Plattenspieler. Introduced in 1951, this German-made professional broadcast turntable weighed more than 80 pounds, featured a 16-inch platter and was built to an incredibly high standard. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons/Nobsy (Diskussion).
Here's another fantastic German disc spinner – the Telefunken Tonograph, also designed for professional studio use, circa 1940s. Hardly any information about this is available online, including what that odd thing is around the spindle. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons/Maximilian Schönherr.
