Sir Thrift a Lot
Is that one of the "granite" plinths? I've never found one but always wanted to.

Yes. I don't know what the material actually is. Seems similar to Corian countertop material.

Picked up a Technics SL-BD25 for $15.00 today. Nothing fancy. Black and fully auto belt driven p-mount. No cover or cart but it does appear to work. I have been looking for a starter turntable for my 15 yr old daughter and this may fill the bill. As it happens I have a brand new AT3482p cart, the one with the graphite stylus and conical needle I picked up somewhere. I have heard good things about its performance.
I have one. Simple and excellent performance on a budget.

A little GW fun today.
Minimus 25s, couple of cool Shure cartridge test albums, album and CD for $10 and some change.
I am not suppose to be buying more speakers, but who can resist?
Edit: I know this is not a music thread, but The Who BBC Sessions is now my favorite Who selection. An hour and 10 minutes of great rock!

ACI made some great speakers. I've got the Jaguar 2000 and Sapphire 25th Anniv models. The Jags are the best speakers I've ever owned. Congrats on the scores.
Do you know what model the ACIs are?
Found a dirty but working Pioneer SX-650 for $50. Pulled in an FM station without an antenna. I think it’ll clean up very nicely.

It's bonded marble, similar to the stuff they make molded bathroom vanity tops from. It's a mix of stone and resin.

650 is a nice little receiver. My son has it powering his HPM 40's now. Nice sounding little unit for sure...

Denon AVR 4806, HDMI Monster & Adcom 535 L. GW $40
UPDATE: Got her home and good news is it works, here it is pared with a DVD-3910. I have a DVD-3930CI that I will probably use with it. This receiver sounds noticeably better than the AVR-3805 I swapped it with.
UPDATE #2: Come on lets get serious here- Snell J/III’s

That is a real steal. 
That GFA 535 looks real clean. so does the Denon, but I'd be more interested in the Adcom.

I'm sure you couldn't buy the connectors for $20...

Sorry to bug you again VWGUY, but what kind of VW do you have? We had a '03 Passat that we loved. Sadly it was totaled.
We had the same key you have in the photo.

I almost never regret a sell decision but when my AVR-4806CI departed, I kicked myself. I still talk to the guy who bought it but I doubt he will give it back.
BTW, yours is the later CI version based on the top grill openings.

The remote is going to cost a lot more that what he paid for the group.

Actually mine is the 4806 not the CI version
