    What's your latest audio purchase?

    Fosgate Audionics FAP-T1 Preamp/Processor. I haven't tried "everthing" with it yet, but I'm very pleased so far. These are the original pics from the CL ad, I'll do my own in better lighting later.

    Anyone recognize this Magnavox console?

    I just recently got a free "Astro Sonic" from a co-worker. I too, was hoping it would be a tube stereo, but it was not. The cabinet is a different front style, but the front speaker placement, receiver and cabinet size are almost identical to the pics posted by the other member here. Hope that helps

    Anybody using gear 30+ years old that hasn't been restored?

    Pioneer SX1000TW that I bought from the original owner a few months ago. As far as I can tell everything works perfectly even though they we first sold in the late 60s. Beautiful sounding old receiver, but I couldn't see myself spending possibly hundreds to have it restored after having only...

    To the Technics bashers...

    Great post, I own both the Realistic STA 2300 & 2000D and love them. The 2300 is on par with Pioneer SX 1050 or 1080 or even Marantz 2325 which I have owned and done a side by side with.

    This is my system. What is the "weak link"?

    I'm a little disappointed in some of the newer klipsch, it's why I suggested these 8os-90s models, plenty of oomph

    Really bad or embarrassing albums you actually secretely love

    Lots Kenny G, Mariah Cary, Vanessa Williams, Celine Dion. Hey if it sounds great on my system(s) It's gonna get some play time.I burn my own discs of favorite tracks and you will find a few by those artists, I rarely like "every" song on even some of my favorite artists albums.

    This is my system. What is the "weak link"?

    If budget is still an issue I'd personally suggest some used Klipsch, I've owned several pair of the less expensive models and believe they can be a very good deal.In my area there are usually lots on craigslist.I like the KG series myself KG3.5, 3.2, 4s, 4.2 all can be found for $200 or...

    Hi-end Finds in MA

    New, unopened in the box? I see that too often on CL, Why would someone spend $1500 on speakers, never open them & take a $500 loss :screwy:

    Drugs are bad. Mkay? Infinity RSM's

    Woofers or passive radiators? Those look an awful lot like passives from some Polks :scratch2:

    Realistic Optimus t-100

    You can have mine for free :) That's what I paid for them.Best part though was the Realistic SA 1001 integrated & TM 1001 tuner that came free too, from a garage sale where they just wanted them gone.Guy said the amp didn't work, well he was half right (one channel).Amaziing what some contact...

    Denon AVR-3805 - good deal?

    Provided it works properly I'd jump on it for that price myself.I have an AVR 3300 that works great as a preamp.I'm not really a home theater guy but a lot of these models have 2 & 5 and even 7 channel stereo.No remote would be a bummer because as some one else mentioned, so many of the set-up...

    Goodwill/SA/Thrift Store Discussions & Finds

    Almost 10 year old thread, how cool is that Realistic STA 2300, must have been at least 15 years ago I bought it for $50 at Goodwill.I've cleaned the controls half a dozen times since but she's still working great, not even a bulb out :thmbsp:

    Have you ever feel you were done ?

    Or 3 or 4 I'm poor,I can't afford better than the best that I have BUT I can afford more :yes: I usually keep 3 systems hooked up and even the lesser price/quality gear gets listened to on a regular basis :music:

    Pioneer cs-99a

    Wow, that's high Saw 2 pair near me on CL a little over a year ago for $225 each pair.I bought some 77As last year for $60.Not sure how much better the 99As sound but I felt like I paid only a fair price based on how they sound to me.Love the cabinets though.
