What vintage gear are you currently lusting for?

vintage rules!
Hey guys just wondering what's on your vintage lust list? For me it's a Nikko NR-1415 a Rotel RX-1603 and some AR-9's. :drool: Those are the main ones along with about 50 others. Try to keep it under 30 or 40 items.:D

TOTL Genesis speakers would be nice . A Sansui receiver is on my list . B & W speakers would be nice to check out .
 
McINTOSH MCP-1 PHONO PRE AMP, been wanting to try one not needed thou.

I don't realy need anything until I see it so it boils down to what it is, what price, and do I feel like popping for it.
 
Lusting after:

Studer A80
EV Sentry III's or IVB's
EV Sentry 500's
EV Sentry 100A's (the Crest 1001A below took mine out :tears: )

Bozak Concert Grands
Single EV Patrician IV
Stanton 881 or better with NOS stylii
Garrard 301

On the "have, but needs service" list:

In the practical/possible realm, Infinity RS 1.5 speakers.
I have the Infinity Reference Studio Monitors and wonder how much the Watkins woofer in the 1.5's adds to the sound.

In the dreaming realm, some of the larger classic Infinitys.
 
Coral Beta 8
Gray 108C like I used to have...
MC30 monos like I used to have...
Altec 604
Arcturus 145 globes

An SAE Mk VI FM tuner

An SAE MKIII power amp with meters

A Threshold 400A power amp

A Klyne SK-6 preamp

A Kenwood KT-7001 tuner

That's about it.
 
Not much maybe another pair of DQ10s. I'd love a pair of Sony SS-M9 speakers although they hardly qualify as vintage. Some nice vintage tube gear would always be welcome.

Electronics

McIntosh C22, MC 30, MC 60, MC 225, MC 2300.

Speakers

AR 9, Bozak CG, Altec 19, JBL L300, Mc XRT 26
 
A pair of EICO HF-35 monoblocks or a Bogen DS225 would do me nicely (need to see if they live up to the hype). Also a Garrard 301 or 401 with a nice 12" tonearm could be interesting...
