I’d Like to spend no more than 2k on a new pair of speakers. My system is now a pair of Vandersteen model ones driven by a Sansui AU517 (totally rebuilt, it’s staying!) I really do like the Vandys, I love the smooth sweetness, lots of low end. I think they sound best at moderate levels, great...

I’m restoring a an Au-517 that sounds excellent now and is in great, and clean shape. I bought a pair a rack handles for it separately, not so clean. I can media blast the old pair at work, and rattle can spray them. Anyone able to recommend a paint that will look original? It will be placed in...

The other day I finished a restoration of a Spec 2, I posted here how happy I was with it. Now unfortunately the same issue I had with the left channel is popping up again. Here is what happens: -When listening, usually at low volume, the left channel sometimes get really low volume with high...

I scored an excellent deal on a Spec 2 earlier this year that was in meh shape, but sounded pretty good, but had some quirks in the left channel and ran pretty warm. Thanks to the many excellent threads here on AK, particularly from @mattsd and @EchoWars (wherever he may be), I just finished a...

I've been watching a recent thread of @hjames re: high res streaming for a mac system, closely.I think I'm in a similar position; I'm committed to the Mac ecosystem, I have a Mac Mini connected to the TV and contains many ALAC files, which I listen to through the apple music app. We have a...

Anyone have an idea what a good offer would be on the amp in the title? Yes it includes the phono preamp, and Bob Carvers signature (lah-dee-dah). The only one sold on eBay recently had no phono, but fetched an eye watering $1,700... that seems incredible to me, as the MSRP was $1500? Am I...

I’m currently restoring a 800c (from a kit, caps, a few upgrades and so fourth). My test speakers are 8ohm and I’ve got it selected accordingly on the back. When I’m finished I’m going to move it over to my Vandersteen’s which have a nominal impedance of 6 ohm. Question is; should I select 8ohm...

Maybe this is a joke. It’s funny though. https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/ele/d/fredericksburg-vintage-white-van/7087726430.html

Please check out this pictures help me Id them. A little googling turned me onto to CP-1 but these do not look like them, as they are covered in carpet. Someone just wrap some regular Cornwalls in carpet? Install the handles?

This came up on my OfferUp app... I wouldn’t ever buy something long distance through this app but if you’re in south Florida this could be an inexpensive way into a M-25. It’s ugly though, definitely a project. Not mine btw.

Please some AKer get this.... I keep missing out on these sweet freebies https://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/d/richmond-hafler-500-amp-free/7027676094.html

They are a project mind you, price is right... if they were closer to me I’d grab them, worth the eye rolls I’d get from my wife. https://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/d/richmond-free-vintage-audio-speakers/7023108627.html

can you guys identify drivers from the front?

This isn't mine. Seems like a pretty good deal if you're in the market for a universal disc player. If I were closer I'd be allover it. https://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/ele/d/stafford-oppo-bdp-93-blu-ray-player/6844847516.html

Anyone have a reasonable valuation of these? Excellent condition, fabric a little worn. I know they are rare, I see a set for sale on ebay that seem WAY over priced? no recent sales...

Not mine. I wonder what happened to the rest of these speakers. But I saw them and though they may make a cool beginning to an Econowave. https://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/d/midlothian-pair-vintage-kef-model-105/6830594472.html

I’ve checked eBay sold listings... and there aren’t any. Any one know the value of a very nice looking and recently serviced Mcintosh MAC 4275?

So I have been shopping for a high quality affordable used CD player, or DVD that will play SACD. Well I do t have any SACDs but I wanted a player that sounded good and left me the option. I've stumbled across a Marantz PMD-526C (I know it doesn't play SACDs..) it's a Marantz Proffesional unit...

does anyone have experience with this DVD player? I'd use it as a CD player exclusively. It can play SACD is why I'm looking at it although I don't have any... just looking for an excuse to get some I guess. Wondering if it sounds good.

not mine, someone maybe interested: https://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/d/crozier-altec-voice-of-the-theatre-box/6787362964.html

I just acquired a really nice RX-505 and I'm OD-ing on nostalgia listening to some old tapes. I've never had a "Good" tape deck before, and this thing sounds really good. I'm pumped. Any way, I've download the service manual and saw there is a RX-505E as well. What is the difference between...

what are these beauties called?

has anyone here heard theses Heco Superior, I think they're 840. I thought they may be white van, but Google search proves they're a legitimate German brand, I can't find any info on them (in English) https://norfolk.craigslist.org/ele/d/standing-speakers-heco/6715637967.html

I know this isn't the best name in quality, but there sure are a lot of them. It's kind of interesting.... I'm not affiliated. Anyone think there is some value in this? I have no idea. https://easternshore.craigslist.org/ele/d/box-lot-vintage-record-player/6658794316.html
