what is nuts ?

What is nuts ? disregarding the spelling .

 

[dbsupercrew]

What I meant is that a for real price on that unit? ie............is that nuts..........

 

[grateful]

The 10B is a rare classic. Maybe not out of line for someone who appreciates it.

 

[dbsupercrew]

Understood, I appreciate good/great gear, but a starting price of that for a tuner......I have to ask myself some serious questions before going that far...

 

[Thatch_Ear]

your opinions please........

Yes.........
















Your nuts or you wouldn't be here, you are missing something if you have never heard one, and the price is in line but still f%#@ing outrageous for a tuner. I have listened to one and it is great tuner......unfortunatly FM mostly sucks (sound quality) so I only listen in a car.

One of the most sought after tunas, obviously.

Now, to make you want to vomit even more, think how many ended up on a thrift store shelf in the 70's, sold at a garage sale for $2, or now reside in the local landfill, covered in diapers and empty 'Billy Beer' cans?

Cheers,

starting price

sounds like he only wants to sell if he gets top dollar. marantz collectibles can command a high price. it is considered one of the greats, but youre paying alot just for collectible status.

Okay Ive been spanked...........just seems a hell of a lot for a tuner, I ve been around , seen and had lot of good/great audio gear in my days, it just seems a lot for a tuner.......in my opinion, thats what the forums are for right??............not flaming........just opinion......after all, most of us are are out to get the best buy for the buck. :yes:

Prices for that piece are up, considerably, from even a year ago. There are two completed auctions, one for a similar unit, case, for $2K. Lotsa $$$$ :yes:

Really the tubed one with the scope for tuning has always brought top dollar. The one I listened to sold for $3K and that was a good 5 years ago. Personally I thought it was way over priced but it did have a coolness factor besides sounding great. I just think that most FM just isn't HiFi enough to merit that kind of expenditure.

Sorry about the yes, but if you ask something like "Am I missing something or crazy?" around here, just expect a wise ass like myself to respond. Welcome to AK by the way, glad to have you around.
