As usual Craig, that's good advice! Hope you're doing ok! Call me sometime and we can catch up! Cheers josh

Not sure how you thought that I was referring to AEAUDIO having a personal vendetta with Craig. For the record I was not.

While I am sure that a Ken from aeaaudio will do a fine job and his 6 month warranty is good, my experience with Craig at novales has been nothing short of incredible. Craig has worked on no fewer than 3 Scott integrated amps for me and for each one he has never disappointed. He truly works magic. He has rebuilt and upgraded a 299 a 299b and a 299d. In addition to those I have owned a 222 and another 299b that he has done the full Monty rebuild on. No 6 month bs warranty- my experience is that Craig stands behind his work for as long as forever. If you are thinking of buying a Scott integrated look no further than the master-Craig Otsby to turn into a magical piece. Dont let personal vendettas from others here cloud your judgement Craig delivers. He has in the past and from that experience I know he will in the future. Just saying

New reissue c22. This is an awesome preamp and the phono section is to die for

Sad News indeed. Just a few months ago a tribute album of his songs performed by a variety of artists was released and if you haven't heard it I suggest you do! Gentle Giants: The Songs Of Don Williams.

pre amp for sure

Is this still available ? If so I will purchase. Please advise thx!

Benchmark is top of the class as far as I'm concerned. I would be surprised if they don't have a replacement faceplate.

Panasonic plasmas are incredible. Love mine. Kind of shocking to me that when I went to buy a tv for the bedroom I found that Panasonic no longer sells televisions in the states. https://www.consumerreports.org/lcd-led-oled-tvs/why-you-might-be-having-a-tough-time-buying-a-panasonic-tv/

There are lots really good you tube videos of his guitar playing. This is one of them. Wait for the guitar break

sold

I really like amazon prime. One thing to remember however is Don't Drink and Prime!

Wow. Glad to hear know one was hurt. With you on a knee scooter let me know if you need any help moving things etc . Josh

I own two Benchmark AHB2's. Truly remarkable amps. Incredible value. Cant touch the performance for anywhere near the cost. I have owned any number of amplifiers and these are the only solid state amps that stayed in my system for any length of time. I will certainly be interested in your impressions. I posted about the AHB2 in the past and I think most here thought it should be compared to a chip amp. Not even close. These are serious pieces of audio state of the art engineering and implementation. Josh

still for sale

I happen to own a pair of Rivals. I know nothing of the forum issues with Greg alluded to here. To me the Rivals are by far the best speakers I have owned period. Seems like the folks here who have actually heard them have positive reactions. The ones that haven't resort to personally bashing Greg. Pretty bush league if you ask me. Like Justin said - to each their own. And what I say " I like what I have and I have owned a lot" Josh

If I recall correctly (these days a bit of a challenge!) but I seem to recall a dead mouse (or should I say fried) preamp thread a few years ago! Josh

Hey Scott, Good luck with your sale! Are you still hitting the tennis ball or have you migrated completely to golf?! I sure hope your still putting up the good fight on the court. I still give it my best. But the older I get i pretty much feel like I did when I was younger , only with something wrong with me all the time! Cheers

Blueberry extreme with nice walnut case. I bought this recently from forum member Nailbender (Brian). Not that I was looking to change, but soon after I was able to land a virtually new reissue McIntosh C22 . Needless to say I dont need both. Ill sell it for what I paid $1200.00. No LOMC. Photos are actually from the original listing but if you want new ones let me know!

Sold!

Yes this amp is DEAD quiet!!. Amazing detail and very musical. Its awesome. At the moment Opus has dibs. If he decides otherwise I will repost. Josh

For those that are looking to try out a fantastic tube amp for a very affordable price this is your lucky day! I bought this from Justin a few years ago and it has been sitting in my office not really being used. It is a wonderful sounding amp that will certainly make your klipsch speakers sing. I cannot tell you anything about the specs and I dont think Justin sells this model anymore so there isnt info on his site regarding this amp. I bought it for 950.00 ( I think) Im selling for 475.00 shipped ( usa) . Note that Justin installed a volume pot so you can hook an iphone up directly. It really is a nifty fantastic sounding amp. Contact me through the forum Cheers Josh

the stock crossover in the MKII's is great. No real need to upgrade.
