Marantz 3650 for My Birthday

[SoCal Sam]

I decided to treat myself to a Marantz 3650 pre-amp for my birthday. (I know, this is a thin excuse to purchase another piece but hey, at least this excuse is legit.) Will go very nicely with my 300DC and 2130. Most of my friends think I already have enough gear so they won't be giving me what I really want.

What gear did you get for yourself on your birthday?

I gave myself a Realistic 10-band EQ last december.
This december will be a Marantz 2325 or perhaps a 2385 is cash permits.

Happy birthday Sam, and you do have a fine birth date. :yes: That is a good excuse to buy another piece of vintage audio gear. But I thought the sun rising each day was an excuse for you to buy more gear so why wait for your birthday?

Duffinator -- Some days Sam can't see the sun rise (cloudy). For him, if he wakes up it's an excuse to buy more gear.

Thanks guys!! From now on, I'm going to have more than one birthday per year!!! Check her out. It needs a little TLC (from Tom) but as they say, the price is right.

Nice score. That is one of the best pre-amps ever built.

I picked up a pair of original ADS speaker stands for my 810's on Sunday. They need a little TLC but one can of crinkle black paint and they should look like new again.
