My voyage into vintage

摘要

Following PM's invitation in his editorial in the May issue to 'share your stories' I thought a description of what I have been engaged in recently might be of interest to other readers. I greatly enjoyed reading Tim Jarman's article on building a vintage system in the March issue, especially as I have been engaged in something of a similar adventure myself. It all began last year with a pair of Quad ESL57 loudspeakers. Mine were working reasonably well when I bought them a few years ago, but they had deteriorated with time, so I set about first changing the bass panels, then more recently the mid-treble ones, using new panels sourced from One Thing Audio [www. onethingaudio. org].
