    Kenwood KA 3500 vs. Hitachi HA 330

    Hello all. These units are both available in my area, very close in price, same WPC, and similar year production/era. Last year I acquired my first Hitachi piece, SR 703, which exceeded my expectations in build quality, aesthetics, and most importantly, sound! Made my Dynaco A25's sound like new...

    Harman/Kardon HK6250: Thumbs up or down.

    Found an ugly HK6250 integrated amp from a trusted tech that has been gone through completely, but no new components, for $150.+ shipping. I say ugly because I am a silver face Pioneer fan and this piece does have some smudgy mars on the black face and back panel. Apparently all it needed was a...

    Looking at buying Amp + Bookshelf speakers + Sub woofer

    Hi, a friend has convinced me to invest in a proper music system. I just have a basic JBL wireless since 2017. I bought the Ruark R2 MK3 and returned it after a day as I just wasn't happy as it couldn't play music off a USB drive and couldn't read the CD either. Perhaps I'd be better off buying...

    Germanium amplifiers

    I saw a Leak Stereo 30 amplifier on line, and discovered that it was a germanium-transistor integrated amplifier, soon replaced with the Leak Stereo 30+, which used silicon. I thought it might be fun to get a hold of a germanium amplifier, but the Leak is rare in the US, and I can't find a list...

    The Sansui Awesome Foursome Review 2020

    The Sansui Awesome Foursome Review 2020. List on contenders; Sansui AU-111 (1966) vs AU-1111 MOS Vintage (1989) vs Alpha 907 Limited (1994) vs Alpha 907 NRA (1998). Might add another contender or two in the mix. I'd love a restored AU-X1 into the mix that way we have pretty much one from...

    Integrated Amp for Klipsch RP-600Ms

    Hi everyone – I’m looking for some advice on an integrated amp to pair with my Klipsch RP-600Ms. I’m new to the scene and this will be my first setup so please excuse any ignorance. For context, I live in a small apartment in NYC, so I won’t be cranking the 600M’s too high. I plan to play...

    Hello - "New" SA-6700 owner here.

    Hello - I've been lurking for a while, this is my first post. I recently bought a Pioneer SA-6700 - it's not in what I would call "collector" condition, but I'm hoping to perform whatever maintenance is required to make it reliable as a daily use amplifier. The unit I purchased included the...
