Something Vintage


All self respecting audiophiles should have something Vintage in their main rig.

I have a pair of Acrisound Chicago transformers and various vintage caps in my Deja Vu 45 PP Monoblocks.

What's your something Vintage?

Reverence or superior materials and application?

I have to admit, I think vintage components are way cool and I can't definitively answer my own question regarding superiority. I will say that some Vintage components applied correctly adds a richness of tone that I find very appealing and natural.

Yamaha MX-1000U, CX-1000U, EQ 1000U. All with remote control units. This amp and preamp are incredible STILL. I don't use the EQ much with exception with some of the redbook cd's. In perfect condition.

Yamaha CR 1020. Wonderful unit. Some recent problems with the volume control. Hoping to find a way to fix that.

McIntosh XR-7 loudspeakers (4) with the model #107 Mac equalizer. Also a pair of XR-5s. JBL L65s. All in pristine condition. The Macs blow the JBLs away but I use them in different systems.

I also own a vintage auto as a seasonal car but that's another topic.

Vintage can be fun if one chooses wisely and takes care of it.
