This post is  mainly to show Michael W pics of my purchase from him of a Marantz ST-17 Tuner in my system. Thanks Michael!

The rest of the system consists of: Aura TT with Morch DP-6 tonearm and Decca Gold cart, DIY Aikido tube based phonostage and preamp, DIY 40 watt EL34 power amp, Marantz SA7001 Ki and Marantz SA-11s3 SACD players, Pioneer P-93 tuner and KEF LS50's with a pair of Wharfedale subs, the latter combo sound quite 3 diamensional with a great sound stage in this system.

Forget the tuner, I want to see pics of another Aura!

Ah... another Aura connoisseur!
I suspect Michael just wanted a look at the rest of my gear! 



Apart from listening to music I also like to build tube amplifiers like the ones in my main system in my previous post. This photo shows mainly vintage stuff that I have or are going to restore. It includes an Allen Wright Vacuum State RTP preamp, Radford SC-2 preamp, Radford ST25 series III power amp and Quad II power amps.   

The last time (the only time) I’ve seen a Morch arm on an Aura, was belonging to Dave Whittaker himself.

Allen Wright’s RTP 3/4/5 phono pre’s are interesting because of the high gain hybrid tube/FET design & variious other interesting cct ideas of Allen’s.

Radford STA25... I had one of those once 😉

nice set up

is natradio on 1010 up there ?

bonus points for the living stereo boxset

Owen, that's the very same Morch DP-6 you saw, it used to be owned by Dave Whitaker!

Michael, 101.0 is the Palmerston North Natradio frequency, I wonder how that got in there? 

Please post a few pics
