An original Well-Tempered turntable and arm that I bought new. That would have been back in the 80's. Still, the only one I own and feel no need to upgrade at all.ARC Classic 60 amplifier that I keep on hand as a spare. Had it gone through by a te...

Krissy ... Thank you very much. Breathing is improving somewhat. Geoff ... Beyond belief, my friend. Where I live has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation according to FBI statistics. So, even here, we have a shooter slaughtering 12 innocen... 
Antique Turntables
Nice find, tardisjohn ...I don't have any info for you, but I'm curious as to what brand the electronics are. There were some pretty nice Scott electronics put into some of the consoles in their day.I love the old stuff that we had as kids.Frank 
Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why?
Geek101 ...Here’s the deal ... you don’t have to spend a fortune on an amp to get the best out of Legacy speakers. They seem to prefer tubes, by the way. I have a pair of Legacy Signature III’s (94db) that I love. Presently driving them with an AR...

^^^ I can vouch for everything Steve said above. I cannot believe how good that Pioneer Elite DV-05 sounds with Grover's mods. The ARC CD-7se is/was a very good tube CD player. It retailed for 10k. The Pioneer has better bass and more extended hig... 
What I miss about vintage gear

^^^ Holy Smokes is right.Prior to the evacuation orders, I decided to stay and fight. As I was hosing down the shrubbery and my roof, the wind was blowing at 50mph and driving lit cinders past me and into me. It was literally raining lit cinders. ...

Haven’t had Internet service for a couple of days ...Hurray! My house didn’t burn down. So scary. Had to evacuate. Two homes on my street burned down to the ground. Mine was untouched. Poured a spiced rum on ice and listened to some soothing music...

Geoff ...True ... Sweetmaria's charges for shipping, but my green beans cost an average of around $6.50 per pound. That would be for some excellent Guatemalan or Kenyan coffee. Granted, in order to use the green coffee, you'd have to invest in a r...
