  2. I bought this AMP off of Chris Keller here in North Carolina it is a PP el-84 making approx 17 wpc. It is dead quiet on my 100DB Open Baffle Full Range speakers. I pasted Chris'es description below. The amp sounds great. Everyone here knows me by now and knows I am in a constant state of upheaval with my system. I had never heard a S.R. amp and I wanted to,  so I bought it. I paid 875.00 for it and picked it up directly from Chris. I have put approx 30 hours on the amp and it is hands down one of the best EL-84 PP amps I have heard. 

    I will sell it here for 750.00plus shipping and fees if any. Tubes included are same as mentioned in the description below. Pics are the actual amp offered

     

    "Here is a wonderful example of an extremely rare power amplifier - the Sargent Rayment SR 534. Sargent Rayment audio gear is as scarce as hens teeth.

    It was a company out of California back in the 40's through early 60's that made limited models of tube power amps, integrateds, preamps and tuners.

    The company didn't sell very far outside of the west coast. However, the limited information on the web blogs all said S-R amplifiers were fantastic,

    if you could find them. Thus, you rarely ever see them come up for sale anywhere, and the few I have seen over the years have been beat up pretty badly.

    This one is in very nice condition.
    Stock, it sounded very good. However, when I updated this with all new PIO caps, and all new metal film resistors throughout the signal path, it brought

    it to a whole new level. It sounds absolutely amazing. The music just floats, with 3-D-like imaging, and mids and highs just life-like.
    I would compare the sound of the 534 to the venerable Pilot 232 but with perhaps a bit more "oomph" in the low end, and a wider, even more detailed soundstage.

    This 534 runs absolutely dead quiet, so it is ideal for even the most efficient speakers. It also runs very cool - the S-R design being more spacious

    underneath perhaps helps in that regard. Tubes are vintage 6AN8 drivers, a quad of milspec 6p14p outputs, and a vintage 5AR4 rectifier. All tubes test

    super strong and are tightly matched.
    As noted, it is in very nice shape cosmetically. The front and top show almost no signs of wear. It appears the side panels had been painted when I received it,

    but they match pretty close. I did replace the barrier strips with binding posts and added a power switch. You are getting this for what I paid for it in stock condition"

  3. "Whole House" implies you wish to power the whole house. If you are contemplating Solar why not just switch the house over to solar.

     

    Used existing Gen twice in 20 years....................Wish my power was that stable I had to get out of bed at 12am last night and start our gen. That powers the whole house and costs under 1K. I have to press a button to start it and throw 2 breakers (Make sure there's gas in the Gen of course

  4. I have a basically brand New Technics 1200 MK7 (Latest Version) Its black and has 10 hours maximum use absolutely as new works perfect. I also bought the Cartridge overhang guage and I am using an AT-VM95EN
    Orange Stylus
    I have original double box packing manual everything that comes with it new. There is not a mark on it. The dust cover is as new
    sell the Table for 950.00 (New it was 1300.00) Plus fees and shipping, I will include the cartridge which is 170.00 new if my asking price of 950 is met.....................So 950 you get the new (ish) Table and the Cartridge with under 10 hours use

    I absolutely do, and I just accept it. And when I go rob banks or bury bodies, I leave the celly at home. Also, *their, again.

    *celly  What the hell is that ? Perhaps some hipster slang word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I can play infant as well)

     

    AH the difference between the generation's is now apparent................Where the older generation refuses to roll over and ACCEPT It. The younger Generation practices APATHY rolls over and asks. "Thank you sir may I have another".........................

     

    Thank you for providing the fodder,  with which I get to use a great movie quote (Animal House)

    Because they older paranoid generation still walks around with a cellphone in their pocket, which gives the real big brother all the data points they would ever need.

    Speak for yourself, I strongly doubt you know  "they older paranoid generation" ( by the way that's your misspell not my older paranoid *** ) as a whole. You may know a few, and they may walk around with cell phones in there pockets.

     

    But for arguments sake you apparently agree that its bad to even use / carry a cell phone as it constitutes an intrusion of privacy. " the real big brother all the data points they would ever need " So then how can one be considered Paranoid or Crazy when one feels there privacy is being usurped ?

  7. Why is it the younger generation raised on internet and computers thinks the older generation raised on privacy and not trusting big brother are crazy when they find some intrusive program being slid in under the radar.

     

    These programs always to try and tell you they are helping you, making life easier. 

     

    If the current state of affairs in this country and around the world are what constitutes making life better and easier. I personally would like an opt out button

    No alcohol! See the manual! 

    Agreed and you will probably void any chance of a return / exchange if you use any chemicals on the speakers. I personally would not touch them I would take pics to BB make sure they are aware, Move my other speakers into the room to see if they discolor. If they do not dis color I would return the speakers for exchange
