G.A.S. man
Okay, here it is. The Great American Sound Company Club has now begun. Sign up and let's get to sharing info on this great gear. Do you own a Thaedra and an Ampzilla? How about a Sleeping Beauty cartridge? Have any info, photos or stories? Let us hear about it!
My system is built around my G.A.S. Thoebe preamp. It's the middle of the line of the three GAS preamps. Years ago, I owned a Thalia preamp and matching Grandson power amp, purchased when I worked for G.A.S.
I found my Thoebe in a pawn shop last year for $59. It is the "R" model, meaning "Rack mount" front panel. The R is marked on the end of the serial number on the rear sticker. In 1979, a Thoebe sold for $499. Fortunately, mine is completely stock. The time delay relay had poor contact due to some oxidation but, I got that sorted out in short order. Pretty good for being over 30 years old!
Thoebe is pushing a JBL 6260 power amp, JBL ARC30 monitors and a JBL PSW-100 sub.
