    Wharfedale Jade

    Get a Handspree. Their monitors are bullet proof. I also have one of their televisions and with a 1080p feed, the picture is outstanding. Have owned both for some 5 years each with no problems.

    Another "New" Camera... This Time An Older Film Camera...

    These are really nice daily users. I carried a few in my collection for a number of years and they were bullet proof. The secret with the camera is a great lens. If nothing else, Olympus knew as well as any company how to make great lenses. Their lenses were the reason I went with them when...

    Holy BOGEN! D265 stereo amp and PR2 preamplifier find

    Can not believe you walked by them. I would have hit the brakes immediately and pulled the wallet. Those look in mint condition. You can restuff the cans. Those opts are larger than most power transformers.

    Heresey II with Mac 2505 amp/c-26 pre..thoughts

    I ran a set of HII in stock form with a 2505 and C28 and they can be magic. Yes, the bass is not thumpy, it just is so smooth and has great resolution. Check Bob Crites' site for some things he has for the HII. I used his recap kit and though my tweeters were good put in the titanium...

    Mystery cassette

    You will need special tools, a rather expensive investment. Order a Lee Valley catalog. The company has an expansive line of high quality mini tools. When it comes to the house I drool over it from just a tool collector's perspective. It is good to experiment on things written off so, go to...

    Old Receiver languishing on Craigslist for weeks.... couldn't resist

    The US manufactured receivers while low power, were great sounding. I have the SEL200 receiver that was just repaired and love it. It has the oem wood case that really dresses it up.

    Name some of your favorite stereo preamplifiers.

    Has anyone got an Audio Research d'76....

    Used to run a Sp3-1 with a pair of D-76a in dual mono format to power 2 pair of KLH Nines, that is 4 panels. The preamp was bullet proof. The amps were good except I. Did seem to replace a set of 6550s each year. One amp did blow the electrolytics within a year of buying the amp. I did not...
