    Get some 604's man and make some Big Reds! I love my pair.

    The Reason My Heart Races When I See 1970s Gear: Anyone Else?

    I don't discriminate, I like them all! :) The wood veneers, the smell, the sound, the styling. It all harkens back to my youth strolling through all of the high end audio shops drooling over the cool gear.

    1980's - 90's era integrated amplifier collecting

    I would say it is a very popular opinion here on AK as it seems to come up EVERY time anyone mentions they collect audio gear. I don't reply as to why I collect because I made a video about it so I don't have to keep explaining it to non-collectors. I've never been a sports fan, but I never ask...

    Vintage collection recommendations

    Hey Dony, great topic. Not sure why some feel the urge to comment on something they clearly don't understand, but some just can't help themselves. Hundreds of other threads to bemoan not understanding collecting. LOL In any case, as a long time collector, I went through many changes along the...

    value of Pioneer Elite TZ-7 speakers?

    I have two pair of TZ-9, but different finishes, the oak and the piano gloss black. They are exceptional speakers.

    11 vintage 70s receivers, one photo - am I crazy to have 50 more‍♂️

    Maybe AK needs to look into putting a discretion cover over photos like they used to do for Playboy mags for the overly sensitive?

    Was the HPM-100 the GREATEST speaker Pioneer ever produced?

    Barring number of units sold, I would say the Elite models were quite stellar.

    ADS L620 shipping cartons keep or discard?

    For the metal grill ADS models, once those grills are dented, quite the challenge ever getting that dent out. The original boxes are about the ONLY way to securely move them from point A to point B when you eventually move. As a long time collector, I ALWAYS seek out gear with original...

    1960 JBL - The Dale speaker

    Quite sure the original owner I bought them from did not modify them. There are other pictures of the C49 that can be found with the same "port" covered, but I have also seen some without a port as well. Perhaps some models were mounted with drivers at the factory while others were sent out...

    Acoustic research AR-1 single

    OK, but not sure that is really the point of this thread. The OP was asking if they are collectible, like the AR3 (a very quick search would have shown the answer), and should they get it for the small price of $200. They are certainly an iconic speaker from a historical and collectible value...

    Am I Being Ureasonable?

    How about 3 yrs? I took one of my two Nakamichi 1000zxl on a 6 hr drive to drop it off at a well known Nakamichi specialist. Said it would take a while, but then the pandemic hit, he closed his shop, but to only work on Nakamichi gear. Eventually, I just relayed I was coming to get it in a few...

    Curious how people here collect

    I collect gear from the 1950's - mid 80's, but mostly amps/pres, receivers and speakers. Some turntables and cassettes, but I shy away from R2R's/8 tracks. The collection has grown to a fairly large level, so I decided to start my own YouTube channel as I think many other collectors are...
