Hi Guys,
Dont know if anyone saw grand designs on TV last week. ( the NZ version). It had Marc Taddei and his Wedge house and showed his HiFi set up and somewhat meagre LP collection. Can anyone identify the gear he had, I didnt recognise the speakers, was running a valve amp with KT88s that had a gold front (ASL ?)and a turntable that had a Rega/ Project look to it....
Anyone ?

The l'spkrs were DeVore Gibbon X I think. The amp looked like a Line Magnetic LM-501IA(?) The TT, me too, I thought it was a Rega. (He's been down to Onehunga, Akld, methinks  )

Yes, Owen's right on the money I reckon  Turntable is a bit hard to see but definitely a Rega, maybe RP6?

Yes, I sold Marc and Justine that system. They are DeVore Gibbon Xs, an LM 501IA and a Rega of some description. Sounds superb. Was a mission getting it delivered though...

Too many Banjos in the south island for you ?

Haha, no, I really like the South Island. Just not practical, especially given the uncertainty of the house build and the delays and whatnot.

Grand Designs Australia, Lewisham Pod, Tasmania last night $10,000 bathtub made from hydrowood recovered from the swamp  Artisan handmade couch from that same hydrowood, plus unique handmade fireplace, custom side table come storage, come seat  And then dear me, there's the $99 Crosley type turntable...

Yes they need at least a Steampunk TT to match....

Nah, that's going too far. The aesthetic of the fireplace is steam punkish but more modern medi-evil and the rest of the furniture is more scandi meets mid-century modern, I reckon. So maybe the fitting turntable would be something like an AR Legend or the AMG
