Thank you all for the "free" bumps....if you haven't already, you really should go to the Schiit website, it is a great read. Not to mention the fact that they produce some terrific products at very good prices.

I purchased the Marantz 1250 from Earl. He did a great packaging job, and it arrived safely. I had intended to hook it up this weekend, but other stuff got in the way (mainly football and red wine...)...anyway, just now got it cranked up on a pair of Cornwalls, playing Led Zeppelin II......as they say on track nine...."Bring it on home"....it rocks. Thanks Earl.

Zeus/Mark, where are you located?

I've heard that some of Colter's parties resemble that video....And the Super 8 in Hope as well.....

Hey Earl, don't distract the man.....he's a buying and selling machine!! (mostly buying.....)

I have a Schiit Asgard 2 headphone amp/preamp that I have barely used. Maybe 2 hours. It's great, but I just don't use it, and I'm hoping someone else will....Not a mark or scratch on it. $200 shipped to your door. I am located in NW Indiana. http://schiit.com/products/asgard-2

FYI. As you know personally Jimjimbo, I share lots of deals from my search (jweber and Eth2 are painfully aware of this). If anyone is looking for something, let me know. If I see it, I will fire off an alert to you. Also, I am in selling mode at the moment. I would rather share the deals (except maybe a pair of La Scala II or a nice Cornscala). Back on topic. bump. I know that of course my audio addicted compatriot....I was just pullin' your chain....Keep those deals coming!!

pre-dibs....that's a good one. You already have pre-dibs with your super duper search engine you employ 24/7....

Makes no difference. Folks here do what it takes to get to their happy place. Bunch of hard headed ol' farts... Dave thank you, I resemble that remark....

you want to replace AL's? Oh, come now....one of the finest crossover designs and builds ever produced? I think most of us are shocked, saddened, and most of all, happy for you.

Very, very nice. Have fun with those!!

You tell em Schu....more bunk. Would be nice if posters would not generalize what "most" people on this forum do or do not do, without first having been in "most" members listening rooms or living rooms. For myself, I use the absolutely most expensive speaker wire available, regardless of construction, condition or reviews. I mean, doesn't everyone here? Oh, wait, I didn't mean everyone, I meant most.

its not bunk and i wasn't kidding. i've bought 40 sets of heritage over the last 25 yrs and i never once heard them until i brought them home. kinda hard to listen to them when you have them shipped across country what do you need hear. it says klipsch on them. everybody knows, well maybe some people don't Yea, and I buy cars sight unseen, without even driving them, They all say Porsche, what else do you need......bunk.

Yea, but still a corporate marketing decision to be made......

Mark, That's what you said about the hum at my Ithaca house! So, I know you moved, but did you ever find the cause? It was probably the 1250 he just sold.

Well, I know that he was going to get married soon, so maybe that's it....

Thanks for the photos. Nice job on the exterior restore. I know how tedious and time consuming it is to work on all of those trim pieces. GLWS

The more I read in this thread, the happier I am that I even started it....once again, thanks for all of the opinions, advice and general foolin' around....Earl.

Punk kids who didn't work for them... Or spouse that has no idea. My spouse scratched one of my 1970s Sansui's. When I asked her to be careful with the antique stereo equip she asked "why it's not like it's new". She had no clue. Yea, my first wife had no clue either.....

So much easier and far more effective to post pics here. Plus, we love pics. GLWS

Deep, very deep....are you really Ringo?

You got that right...for once....

Am I reading that article wrong, or is that just a single person? If so, do you call that turnover/churn?

Well, ok then....it's all good.
