| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... "I got lucky and located a NOS McIntosh MR-67 FM tuner."Talk about lucky...excellent score. NEVER seen a listing for a NOS Mac tubed tuner.My 1965 MR71 has been seeing overtime lately. If one can't have a Marantz 10B or the rare REL, a Mac or Sc... | |

| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? Why would you pay 38 grand when you can get the same category for 1500?Sigh...consider another hobby | |

| Charity store bin diving? Am I the only one that suffers this addiction? Bin diving at the Goodwill is a favorite pastime. I can shop like a king for $20. Timing is everything, however. Good finds get picked up fast. So it's a matter of when something is put in the bins. | |
