| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I just put together a vintage bedroom system around a rebuilt Marantz 2265b by Mike Zuccaro and Spendor SP-1 speakers. It shocked me just how musical, non fatiguing, and enjoyable this system sounds. | |
| Oomph or pressure? I had this same perceived problem with autoformers and the Lightspeed. A transformer based passive did the trick for me. Some examples off the top of my head are Music First, Electra Fidelity, Silvercore, older Bent Audio units. | |

| 45 amp recommendations I am lucky to live near Jack and his business partner Tony and have heard some of their amps in my system. No disrespect to Yamamoto and Wavelength, but the Electra Fidelity silver 45 SE is very special. My speakers are only 93db so the 1.5watts w... | |
