garymd Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thebes - That could be a peach of a deal. I think he needs a Blueberry though Mark. Any BB demos coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschfoot Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thanks for the invite. I still have your number. If I can make it, I will call ahead and maybe bring a contender. Can Klipschorns handle 200 wpc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholtl Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Thebes, that's RAD! You lucky bugger, you! I bet the lady's husband, once he found out what she did, gave her a nasty scolding. With the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 No word from Thebes. Maybe he's doing a little listening with the twins? More likely getting to bed early so he can get back over to the estate sale in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 Well I first in line, first in the door, the console was there but it had been gutted. No joy. I could kick myself. Well live and learn, still in all though, not to bad a day for the Thebes, although I didn't win the lottery either. OK. Now on to finding a real good, really low budget pre for the Thebes until he can scare up the scratch to get something better. Tube stuff on ebay is ridiculous right now, but there are some on Audiogon that still seem reasonable. Here's some links to what I'm looking at: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1110604514 http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1110682130 http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1109004086 http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1108679049 I'm particularly interested in the last one which is a Dynaco PAS3 that has basically been rebuilt by a guy who uses Klipsch, name of Bill Alexander-that name sounds familiar to me for some reason. $335. Need some solid advice here. Don't want to starve or abuse my new toy but this is a really, really bad time of the year to try to strectch muct farther than $300 to $400.

3dzapper Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Yoo bad the cubboard was bare. No bone for you today. Here is another pre for your perusal: CJ PV-3. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 thebes, I'd tell you to be patient and do your research (but others here will tell you, as they've told me, I'm full of @#$% (can I say that?), and can't make up my mind). Aw, they don't understand the fini approach! Can't you use the pre-out from your Scott amp? Maybe you could work out a trade with a forum member, the Scott for a good preamp. One thing I have gotten through my thick skull (through the advice I've gotten from some good folks here), there are a lot of things to consider with regard to preamps. Budget, features, controls. Take some time, you still have plenty of good Karma in your bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 trading a board member for a preamp is not a bad idea...post a pic of the scott integrated and perhaps someone will offer something they have in the closet...hint, hint. tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 for $260 you could but theBEZ, a bunch of people seem to like and it should hold you over until you can buy a 7C... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14974&item=5744214775&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW warm regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
