    Marantz Model 9 Decent price? 2025?

    Hi all, I was wondering what you would consider a decent price on a set of model 9s. The most recent sales on eBay are all from a few years ago. I have the opportunity to buy a rebuilt to spec pair (rebuilt 3 years ago) for 12.5k. Is this too high? I feel like in the world of tube amps prices...

    Peavey PVi 10 value and amp

    Hey there! I'm Jonathan, currently spending a year abroad in Canada working in a thrift store. I love music, especially loud and with good sound quality, I'm just not in touch with the technical sound of it... which is why I'm here. I wanted to upgrade our living room sound system a little bit...

    What to pay for RS-4b

    Found a pair of minty, 1 owner RS-4b for sale for $425 and wondering if this is a fair price in Seattle or other similar metro area? They are in pristine shape and recently refoamed. I plan to audition them with my Cambridge AXR100 if the price sounds fair. This is very near the top of my...

    Anyone have experience with Technics SB-X30 ?

    Hey all, Came across a set of Technics SB-X30 at a local second hand audio store. Can't find much information or any eBay sales on them that would indicate how they are perceived. If anyone can help me find some write-up about these speakers it would be greatly appreciated. And yes, they are...

    Everything you wanted to know about valuing Audio components

    I see these threads all the time. You know, how much is my gear worth? I see a new one this morning actually. So I thought, why not put together a guide for valuing audio gear for the newbie and oldie, alike. I’m hoping people can add their valuing methodology and experiences here. It will be...

    What speaker cables should I buy?

    Hello, I've heard that buying more expensive speaker cables can greatly enhance the sound of the speakers. I currently have older speaker cables, and am about to purchase some new speakers that don't come with speaker cables. Is there a specific type or brand that are recommended? I can't...

    Thoughts on vintage receiver prices?

    I've always wanted to own a 70's woodgrain receiver. Not one of those bottom of the barrel/compact systems, but a "real" receiver, like a Pioneer SX-3800. I really love that flourescent display. They are quite expensive, though. SX-3800's on eBay can be found for $600+. I have a hard time...

    The value of vintage gear in 2000's vs 2020

    Hi guys, Long time reader, infrequent poster. I have a question about the value of vintage gear in modern times. As all of us AK junkies do, I regularly trawl Ebay/Craigslist for vintage speakers/amps. I will find some pieces that look great - so naturally what do I do next? I search the AK...

    AU-5500 and AU-6600 price for good condition models

    I am looking for a vintage amplifier for quite some time now and I kind of fell in love with Sansui for the design of some of their models (black front plate and silver knobs). Now I found an AU-5500 and an AU-6600 in good condition. I just wonder if the price mark of 500 and 650 EUR is okay or...

    Newcomb KX-30 value?

    I can't find too much information on the thing. I had a Newcomb H25 that was modified and I've seen that a lot, but can't find anything on this model. I didn't know if this has a value because I've never seen one sell or what it could be best utilized for if anything. It turns on and worked okay...

    Does it really matter how much or little you spend on a Turntable?

    My question is does it matter the price of the actual turntable or is it better to spend more on the cartridge?

    Kenwood Model 650 - Bronze

    As most of you in here know, these are pretty rare amps. One has come for sale in my area. It is a Model 650 with the bronze face. I was told that caps and things were never touched and the the inside had been "cleaned" at one point. I like the the specs of the amp and I also like the rarity of...

    XP-56 / HK40 Priced too high?

    I have been eyeing these units for a bit. They are insanely clean, but the price seems to be a bit steep for the model. Thoughts? https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ele/d/fisher-xp56-vintage-stereo-speakers/6760598184.html He is also selling these units as well, but don't think these are in...

    Please help a dumbo out with this turntable sale

    Hello, I don't know anything about turntable, but I am trying to purchase one for a friend of mine to surprise him. I also don't know anyone personally that has knowledge on these things. All I've gathered from the web was to not get LP-60, Crosby, and such. Instead, it would be better to...

    Infinity RS-IIa Value

    I'm thinking of putting my current primary set of speakers (Infinity IRS Sigmas) into temporary storage in order to better preserve them for when I have a more suitable listening room and amplifier setup as I'm renting now and there isn't really a good place for them. I have a line on a pair of...
