Old Heart - New Head
by

Description
The whole system is based off an old/under-powered power amp (Old Heart) and new preamp (New Head) driving speakers who use different/modern technologies.
I still have to work to do, but overall the sound is very musical, clean and involving.
Next step will be to upgrade my tonearm.
Regards
Wendell

System edited: Added a new disk spinner. The sub has always been in the system, but never thought to add it.
