jeff spicoli Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I was thinking about getting a Craftsmen RC-2 amp and RC-10 tuner, but was wondering what to expect to pay for one? I currently am using a Pioneer sx-1250 to power my 1984 Cornwalls and was thinking of trying out tubes but I have absolutely NO experience with them. Would this be a good setup to start out with? Are they good quality? I just dont want to overspend on them and I would like to get the most bang for my buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 That's a vintage amp, more vintage than me! Are you good with a circuit diagram and a soldering iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 These are mono tube amps and tuners. In other words no you don't want to get them. You could get two of the amps and use them as monoblocs, with a different preamplifier/tuner. What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff spicoli Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have a chance to get the pair for $400 brand new in the box, so I guess that would be my budget. I could possible go a little higher. I am not skilled in electronics at all, I just know that I love to listen to music and I know what I like. I am glad I came to this forum. You guys saved me from spending $400 on something that I do not want or cant use. Unless I bought them to resell, but that was not my original plan. What do you guys think?
