| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player Any Rega. I have a Saturn and love it. Very dependable and not bright sounding. | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Too bad for Eric. I wish him all the best. Mark Knopfler is the greatest living guitarist according to EC himself and my personal fav. | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Buy some jbl 4350 studio monitors and some McIntosh tube gear and you’ll be right back where you left off and just as happy as you were in the 70s. You’ll be in it for 15-20k and it won’t lose value. Congrats on your retirement! | |
| Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA Vintage audio in the US goes for twice the price in Japan. They pay tons for the stuff that they made in the 60s and 70s. Example: sansui au 9500 here 700. In Japan 1500-2000. I’d love to start an export business in vintage Japanese audio. Too bad... | |
| NOS tubes I got a set of electro harmonix 7591 output tubes and 2 of the 4 went kaplooie in 2 months. I then sourced 4 nos Westinghouse and couldn’t believe how much better they were in their power delivery and Sonics. I only use telefunkens or Mullards for... | |
| Tube or Trasistor The tubes man! I dislike kt88 tubes. Also, tube preamp is the way to go with ss amp. Try a different set of tubes first. Then try a tube pre. | |
| First investment into a turntable 200 -300 is a tough range. Older pl pioneer series are going for double that price. Same with vintage denon. Most of those are bullit proof. Look for a vintage Yamaha as you can find a decent direct drive for around 300-400 and they are very well ... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? Sansui 1000a tube receiver.jbl l-65a.denon dp-59l phonorega Saturn cdpReady for another 10 to 20 especially after a recent restore of Sansui. | |
| Brands that have the least depreciation Mcintosh for sure. | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp Completely rebuilt Sansui 1000a. You’ll have 1100 into it and the sound is sublime. It blows my rogue away. The famous old Sansui iron is as good or better than today’s transformers. The level of detail and the amount of low end punch is stunning. | |
| Really satisfied??? Been good for 20 yrs. jbl l65a, dynaco pas 3 pre amp, hafler dh-500, pioneer pl630 tt, rega saturn CD player. Couldn’t be happier! All that stuff combined won’t buy you a high end integrated today. Doubt it would sound as good anyway. | |
| Tubes Old telefunkens or Millard’s. Teles are better in the mids and highs and Mullards are nice and mellow when your in that Coltrane kind of mood. Tried all the newer ones but they don’t come close which is reflected in the current market value of the... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members Yes. I am new but have been sellling on cl for a dozen years. The people today are actually abrasive, insulting and threatening. They tell you your asking price is crazy and you should drop dead. It’s always the younger, tough guys behind a keyboa... |
