What audio did you gift???

[superdog]

Very good karma for this giving season.I want to give someone a Marantz 1550 receiver and Marantz imperial 7's but don't know anyone who would want it.Like what was said earlier not too many stereo enthusiasts around my parts.I was very happy with this at the time but have moved up.I am sure there has to be someone around that wants it just have to keep looking.

Gifted a nice pair of oak cabinet Miller & Kreisel 3-B satellite loudspeakers to my father in law for his desk/office. Great little speakers that seemed to be perfect for this application. Also gave him an older JVC 6-CD changer that was just collecting dust in my basement. It feels good to get people back into audio when they truly have an appreciation for the older stuff.

Happy New Year!

Mike

Nicely done, guys! Well, you are all making me feel cheap, I'm gonna have to say -- I only gave a PL-530 TT away. I do tend to give gear all year long, but I'm sure that you fellows do as well -- it's hard not to. Keep the AK flowing. :thmbsp:

Well, this wasn't explicitly for Christmas, but I just set up my best friend with a system for his new baby's room. Nothing special, a Sony receiver (half decent), Sony CD changer (fairly decent) and a set of like-new Minimus-5's.

And, I gave my dad a couple vintage receivers, Technics and H/K. And he gave me, no kidding, a vintage RV. Drove it home from SoCal yesterday. 500 miles in, um, 14 hours...

sweet looking pioneer rig


my sisters boys spent a few days with me over the christmas holiday. we don't live in the same town/state so our visits are usually during the holidays. my nephew likes music and really took to my system(s) and vinyl, he sat around with my mother and I while we listened to some good ol music. He went back home to ask his mom for a larger set of speakers for his room...

I'm gonna see what i can do to get one of my Pioneer receivers and spare turntable out to him, its the least I can do to get a good(ish) system to him so he can drive my sister nuts with the loud music. I'm such a good brother.

I'll be keeping the PL-530/528/510 but will most likely send him my old Sony PS-LX22 turntable and probably the SX-535

 

[vintage-yungin]

That 535 is an awesome receiver he's a lucky kid I think the lower wattage #3# series are the best sounding.

I have a 434 out in the garage, the 535 used to be out there. its just sitting on a shelf right now not being used. He should be good to go

This gifting hasn't happened yet, but my 14 year old daughter was over this week (she lives with her mum) and was drooling over the Marantz 4300 I have. She'd like a vintage system of her own, so I'm going to put together something really nice for her birthday. Christmas was the (ubiquitous) iPod, her birthday will be something a bit more substantial, methinks. They can't catch the bug too early as far as I'm concerned!

Found someone.My superviser at work.He listens to music at home though the dvd player and tv.It was kind of hard to let go but i have better gear and need to downsize on the big speakers.

Introduced vinyl to a good friend of mine by gifting a newly cleaned up Yamaha YP-B4 and some d4. He had been pretty much a mp3 guy, but had gotten curious about my system(s) over the last few years, so now he's very excited. We got it all hooked up on Sunday, and he's good to go, spinning some Arcade Fire I think.
