    Marantz 6300 Price

    Thanks for the input. I am not sure on the cartridge. I know that it was in storage and has some light paint specking on the cover. Other than that the strobe works and the wood is in good shape. It was working prior to storage and was lightly used. I would hazard a guess the cartridge is in...

    Summer 2017 New England FrankenFest - June 24th in Clinton MA

    For amps I currently plan on taking both my Eagle 2, SAE x10a and SAE2200. If there is enough space I might take the second X10a for some bi-amping fun.

    SAE X10a vs Eagle 2

    Thanks, I had the cord replaced recently since the original one was getting a bit ratty. Its polarized now. When I did this test it was the first time I had the hum issue. I think it has to do with a ground loop somewhere that I didn't find at the time.It was used in this configuration many...

    SAE X10a vs Eagle 2

    Hi everyone, I wanted to do a comparison of my recently restored X10a against my Eagle 2. Ever since I got the Eagle last year its been my reference amp. I acquired two X10a amps last year dead off ebay and decided to compare them one on one. The second one is almost all original and will be...

    What ONE thing or change added the most to your system's performance?

    The Eagle has been the item to bring the biggest gains so far. Its smooth, dynamic and if the source has the information for a good soundstage and image it will bring it all out. One more bonus is that the sound stage has depth and height. This was the first time I've experenced this anywhere...

    How much more money on repairs.

    Hi everyone, I got a X10a that needs to be fixed. It osolates and because it was worked on prior to my tech correcting some issues on it someone else worked on it. As a result of it changing hands its hard to work on. I'm into this one for 300 bucks. What should my cuttoff point be? Most places...

    SAE X-10 oscillation

    I did some digging and found out that this design is very sensitive to the transisters that are used. Generic verisons don't do well in this amp. Does anyone have the exact spects for all the transisters. Specficily I need the high and low frequency specs and the TF on them. I think the best...

    SAE X-10 oscillation

    Hi everyone, I got a SAE X-10 with an oscillation in it. The back story on it is that I got a pair of them off eBay back in July with the intentions of having them overhauled and added to the collection. The black one had some issues in the power supply that were sorted and it works 100 percent...

    Beat up garage sale speakers, worth saving?

    I second snagging the ESS ones. Looks like someone updated the woofer on those. They are definitely the weak links on them along with the x-overs.

    What made you like/want vintage gear?

    I listened to my Dad's ESS speakers and liked them. While I was in college I wanted a stereo I could afford that sounded good. I went too Best Buy and found the only decent thing there was 2000 bucks a pair. I went home and hit up eBay and Home Depot for the parts to clone the ESS gear for 300...

    Best way to steam audio from PC to analog receiver

    The absolute best way to do this is to go from JRiver into a USB asynchronous DAC or use DAC with a soundcard sending the signal out via TOS link or coax. One other option would be to look into the Bluesound products. I plan on using one to get the music into the basement rig that houses the...
