jacksonbart Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 About $14,000. on the Porsche 911 surrounding the Alpine audio system. No really, not counting the 42" Panasonic TV, the Heresy II's new Do you still have the 911? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Oh I forgot my recent acquisition. The Klipsch THX sub system eclipsed the cost of my receiver (as well as the entire cost of all the other speakers in my main room) Feeling my hair blow back when Chris Squire hits the bass pedals......priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAPTORMAN Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Edgarhorn Titans/Seismics Sub 13k. The whole 2 channel system is about 50k retail. Spent maybe 1/2 of that. Damn........I think I'm about to get sick.[][] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cain Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Records and CD's. WAG = $140,450. $25 per week from 1960 - 1970 = 13,000 $50 per week from 1970 - 1975 = 13,000 $100 per week from 1975 - 1990 = 78,000 $50 per week from 1990 - 2000 = $28, 000 $25 per week to present = $8,540 Notice a trend, here? [] Looks like a classic bell curve. I'd say most everything is worth more than I paid for it; so I'll never complain. Equipment, on the other hand.... I want back the two TD-124's I dumped for $100 apiece, when I got my first Technics direct drives; the ones with the digital readouts. Still have my Bozak... from 1975. So I'm not THAT stupid.

Mighty Favog Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Gave $2,900 for the McIntosh MC-252 less than a year ago (MSRP $4k). Whole system ran about $20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Raptorman, how bout a rundown on all the goodies? And what's with the silky blankets under the EdgarHorn bass bins? For easy slideability? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 $3800 on MC252 and same amount on MX 119. The dbb's are continuously upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 jwcullison, great Macs! I miss my MC7200 I bought used for $1200 several years ago (and still the most expensive audio component I've ever bought). Present gear? My BEZ Model T3B 300B SET amp at only $550 shipped! Everything else I either got at closeout and clearance prices, employee discounts from my bro in NY who worked for an audio retailer, or free/trades from family members and friends.

jwc Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Wouldn't mind getting one of those 7200. Need an extra MAC for 2 more channels. Was it a great amp? How did it compare to other stuff you've owned? jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 IMO it was an excellent, powerful amp (and one of the most attractive Macs I think). It was a direct-coupled amp without the patented autoformers, so I found my older MC250 to be warmer and more tube-like soundwise, whereas the newer MC7200 was perhaps brighter (definately sounds more like today's SS Macs rather than Mac's very first transistor amp), also punchier, more solid, and robust! Its high current design had gobs of clean power that's dynamic and very detailed. I highly recommend one if you can find one...I don't see too many MC7200s on sale anywhere these days.

RAPTORMAN Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Raptorman, how bout a rundown on all the goodies? And what's with the silky blankets under the EdgarHorn bass bins? For easy slideability? M First off the silky blankets are just to cover the ugly looking casters Dr. Bruce put on his Titans--I was never a big fun of casters on any speakers. I can easily pull them off and replace them with spikes, but they come in handy when ever my friends are over for a texas hold em poker game--I make sure they are out of the way. Now for the goodies: Speakers are Titan II with the Seismic Sub. They are the first Titan II in production 001 and 002. TT= VPI SuperScout Master with a JMW 9 and an Ortofon SL15E MK II LOMC 0.065 mv (decimal on the correct place) Phono Stage= BAT VK P10SE with superpac Preamp= Emotive Sira and a CAT SL1 Amps=Cary 805C monoblocks 50 watts of Single Ended Triode CD=Cary 2000/303 Tuner=Sansui TU-717 Conditioner=Panamax 5510 RCM=VPI HW-17F Speaker wires/IC/Power Cords=Can't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 That is interesting. I just obtained an MC250 myself. It is definately not as bright as my MC252. I haven't listened to it enough to say I like it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
