Thank you all! I'm starting to dig in and turn things on and see what functions as is and what needs some work. I'm in Boise, ID and I haven't found any help from the high ends shops so I figured I'd start here. Concerning the speakers, those are just want were passed on. I can hook up to several different pairs of Martin Logans, Polks, or cheap Bose but I thought I would stay in era. I have pugged in the XL10s and they still sound good.
My goal would be to pair the best parts together for single system that I can play via cd or digital sources. I don't have any records and am not familiar with the vintage equipment (run mostly anthem gear with the Martin Logans). The music is main bands of the same era like Zeppelin, Floyd, GD, etc if that matters.
effisher: thanks for the suggestion. I'll start playing with that. I'm not sure if I know how to put the tubes in right so we'll see how that goes and hopefully I don't blow anything up!
Any special power considerations?
Thank you again...I'm sure I'll have more questions moving forward. I'll check out audio classics and see what they say. I also have boxes of parts, manuals, and marketing stuff that I don't even know where to start with. Is that of any interest to mac enthusiasts?
