New hi-fi’s are wond’rous
Encouraging new appreciation
Of loved sounds.
Re-arranging the listening room
Old songs get new life.
Searching for fidelity,
I covet John Cameron’s* superb system
Finely balanced, crisp, clean
Delicate & resonant.
And then …
A 3-in-1 – TV, Stereo, Radio
The Pye 3-in-1**
In the Elson-Green home.
Pumps out Mac’s Coming Your Way***.
Stunning!
Notes:
* John is Peter Cameron‘s eldest brother. Their home was in the terrace above Cameron’s Bakery in High St, across from Penrith Primary.
** I am not 100% sure the brand was Pye but this TV/Radio/Stereo combo had an awesome sound. It may well have been assisted by the acoustics in the large room but I remember being blown away by how good it sounded. This was the home of Jacqui Elson-Green – Penrith High School girl – who along with a couple of others had joined my Penrith High School network of friends.
*** This is the song – the opening track on Fleetwood Mac’s Then Play On – it remains one of my favourite pieces of music of all time. It has everything … play it loud, through reasonable speakers and it’s great. But it will never be as great as on 12″Vinyl through the Elson-Green 3-in-1.
