| $40,000: What 2-channel system would you build? I'd get a couple of systems for $40K because I think that you can find really great used gear that sounds 90-95% as gear costing thousands more. CAT SL1 preamp approx $3500, Korneff 45 SET $1500Omega's, Zu's or Klipsch $2000Tandberg 3014 cassett... | |

| Help for an Old School Audiophile Thanks again for everyone's input here. Its now 2 years later since I started this thread, I'm now 58 and still haven't done a thing towards digitizing my collection. Instead, I've been playing around with some different setups, buying, selling,... | |

| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? No, you ask questions next time around !!! Caveat Emptor! Before you drive all the way there, and trade him 2 of your units + cash for his unit, you ask questions, you find out about the gear you are acquiring! Please stop driveling on about th... | |
| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. Most of my sources don't have a remote so that's not a big issue for me. The Cayins are excellent.Just saw this one in the DC area:https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/ele/d/silver-spring-cayin-88t-integrated-tube/6805903082.htm... and actuall... | |
| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. The Marantz is pretty high powered, you'll need to look at a KT88 or 6550 PP tube amp. If you look at Roger Modjeski's comments from his thread "ask an amp designer a question" I dont think he was so keen on Prima Luna's products. If you got a c... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? The dealer sounds like a BS'er. Personally, I wouldnt want to do business again with someone who gave me that kind of story. You made the original deal in haste, of which you realize, but the rest of the dealers reactions seem off base... yes, w... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? I agree with Elizabeth; you even mention this morning that, "There was no problem with unit operation" - so just move on. Sell the unit if you don't like it and chalk it up to lesson learned.We've all made hasty decisions, those of us who have be... | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution Cool looking tuner, looks to be made for the European market. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I'm sorry, what does HEA stand for?IMHO, I have found the class D or Chip Amps all are missing something. To me, they all sound a little dry and all need a tube preamp to compliment them. They are quite musical though :) | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution Thats interesting! Those Pioneers were great tuners! |
