Stereo system conundrum
Last year bought new kit for the living room and our bedroom. Very happy with them.
On Sunday I took apart our old Kenwood system, popped the outside of each part, cleaned it, and put it back together. And once again it is working lile a charm; it'll play music quietly and sound great, or you can turn it up and it'll pin you to the back wall, without distorting the sounds at all.
So... Its working again. I've plugged a little DAB radio in to it and, crucially, its also happy to have a phone or an MP3 player plugged in and it manages just fine.
I've put it back together in the kitchen, and I've bought some new speaker cable to move the speakers out to a reasonable distance. The only trouble is that a stereo system that looked modern and tiny in 1990 (ish) now looks formidably big. Not like one of those 'space ranger' systems with flashing lights all over the place, just much larger than our new systems and the little one we had in the kitchen.
I am now more of a micr-seperates kind of chap. Dunno whether I'll get used to the old one being in the kitchen.
