I am listening to a CD (Gershwin/Copland/Schuller/Bloch on Mercury Living Presence) playing through the KLH Model 20 turntable/AM/FM machine I just dusted off. That was a very lucky community tag sale find years ago. The turntable is gunked up and will have to be dismantled and cleaned by someone who knows what they're doing. I'm sure the electronics can use some attention, too, and I need to add an antenna for better reception on the AM and FM.
The CD player is a Denon first generation, or nearly so - seriously, like, from the 1980s, a really solid piece of equipment I'd found at yet another community tag sale. I used to use both of these enough to keep them in shape, but it's been a while and I wanted to see how they play. After a little futzing, they're playing quite beautifully.
The KLH speakers are fabulous. Separately, I think these were sold under different Model numbers (I'm thinking 17, for anyone who remembers KLH). They're wonderful. This was one of the college-era systems the likes of moi lusted after in the late 60s, early 70s, and I was thrilled to find it in beautifully preserved condition. Love this stuff.
