Vintage equiptment

[Krazyz1]

:)Are any members using any vintage equipt. in their systems?

[HB27]

It's all I use. Tubes rule, gotta use real USA iron to drive!

[Face]

I used to, now I prefer gear that has less coloration.

A vintage 1980 Nikko Alpha VI amp. A real beauty & sonic workhorse...a true 300w dual mono design Actually speced & manufactured by Luxman for Nikko, this is a true testament to the Luxman name. A sonic gem in my system.

What's considered vintage now days ?

[Krazyz1]

Mr. pearsall001. Man that's a "Bitchin " nice looking unit!!!!! I am currently trying to resurrect a Marantz SR 5100. It may end up being parted out.

[Knucklehead]

Just recently accquired a 1969 Allied 395 receiver, walnut case, very nice looking unit. possibly the start of a vintage 2 channel. I think vintage would be anything over 25-30 years old. i guess Im vintage too!:D

There is a gorgeous G22000 on ebay right now, problem is that these monsters weight almost 100+lbs.... shipping costs an arm/leg....Im waiting for one to pop up locally...been waiting for years.


OOOhhhh the Sansui "G"'s are soo beautiful

[Knucklehead]

umm... yah.

WOW!!! Nice stuff mhardy!

[Zitro]

+1 on the Sansui. My dad has a G-9700, and I love it. He won't let me have it though lol. I'm trying to find a good vintage Sansui amp/receiver on ebay and have been trolling thrift stores; hopefully I have some luck.

[halo71]

Vintage? Hell that is all I can afford to use! lol I think my DVD player is the newest thing I own, and it's 8 years old.

[aggii]

do you know the price of 1960's Polkaudio speakers with fuse and excellent condition. someone wants to buy them so what would i ask

[treitz3]

Not anymore. In the past 5 years I flew threw 1 Nikko, 1 Onkyo, about three or four Carver pre's and somewhere's around 13 or 14 Carver amps. All of those were vintage but I don't have anything vintage anymore, except for what's in the closets. I think the oldest piece I've currently got running would be the Anthem1 amplifier and I have no clue when they were manufactured.

1960's Polkaudio speakers

Huh??

[joeparaski]

I am a certified SAE nut (Scientific Audio Electronics). It's gear from the 70's and 80's. I also have a few Bose 1801 amps from the 80's, although they are going up for sale soon and being replaced with SAE amps.

I've posted this picture before.

SDA-SRS 1.2TL's, a Realistic STA 2300 receiver, a Dual turntable, a Bryston .5 pre-amp. If you want to include "outdated" equipment, the list gets much longer....:D

Dynaco ST-70, 1982 Klipsch Cornwall and an old 6L6 single ended amp pulled from a console.

That works! :-)
What kind of console? Maggotbox?

[concealer404]

Got me a Sansui Tuna.

My amp might be considered vintage, it's 22 years old these days...

[organ]

Yeah it's a Maggotbox lol:). I should give it a try again. Haven't been used for over 5 years.
I need to get a pair of K-77V tweeters for my Cornwalls. When I bought them, they had the wrong tweets and mis-matched woofers.
I ordered new x-over caps, new woofers and the CT-125 tweeters from Bob Crites.

I can't enjoy these Cornwalls with the CT-125. I MUCH prefer the K-77 tweeters from Klipsch which I had on a pair of La Scala. The CT-125 is not as lively and doesn't sound as loud.

[Conradicles]

I love the Sansui tunas. Extra sweet.

[concealer404]

I'll trade it to you for some of your Denon gear. ;)

I haven't heard the Crites tweeters. I owned a pair of 1974 Cornies for a decade (EV T-35 AlNiCo tweeters, I think Klipsch called 'em K-77); sounded great with excellent program material and very good and/or sympathetic amplification... otherwise they could be ear-gougers.

Sold 'em when I got a pair of 846A Valencias. A pair of cosmetically nicer 848A Santiagos (shown in the earlier photo) are currently in the LR as the Valencias await cosmetic restoration (probably a long wait). The Santiagos were too cheap to pass up and sound excellent.

The Magnavox amp would be very good indeed on Cornies :-)

EDIT: Is that Sansui tuna a TU-5500? Had one of those for a while (dump find).

[timpeace]

I guess my Onkyo M-508 and P-308 combo purchased in Okinawa Japan could be considered vintage by some. My Polk SDA 2Bs seem to enjoy the power it provides.

Yep sure is!
