What's your latest audio purchase?

^^^
^^^ Dang they fine! I just got a Nikko NA-690 Integrated amp and a pair of Infinity RS-225's in need of a refoam all for the grand sum of $25, yeah buddy!
 
A pair of cosmetically challenged Pioneer HPM-100 speakers. :thmbsp:
I had to get them out of a garage, poor thing. :sigh:


For $35, no one had to twist my arm to make this purchase. :D
 
A pair of Eminence LAB12 drivers for the new home theater subwoofer project.
(project is on-going, this is a test box, not the final box)

Recently added a VPI Aries I to my main rig, pushing a VPI Classic to the headphone rig, which in turn replaced my long-term VPI HW-19 Mk IV.
 
My latest acquisition was a Toshiba SD-4109x 6 disc multiplayer for $25. Purchased primarily for the HDCD capability, it's in a nearfield setup on the Dining room table with my previous 2 purchases which are a Nakamichi SR3A Stasis receiver and a pair of EPI 70 speakers both also for $25 apiece.

I've been listening to Jazz and females vocals, Joni Mitchell and John Coltrane, and seems to be a level above what I have, BA 70's powered by an Insignia home theater receiver, although I suspect the near field also has something to do it.
 
The latest purchase consisted of four 6BH6 tubes, two 6CG7 tubes, a cap for the Thorens, and parts to build better speaker cables.

I really don't buy much anymore, but the last purchase was a Pioneer DV-563A player for $40.

Before that, it was a batch of Toshiba 2SK170 and 2SJ74 J-fets, just for giggles.

Best Regards,

I got a couple good deals a few weeks ago at Denver's Vintage Voltage Expo. A Cayin A-88T Tube amp for $550 and a pair of Grado HP 1000 headphones for $20. From what I've found on the Net the Grado's were a special edition with only 1000 made.
 
JVC QL Y66F Turntable

Hey Now,

I picked up a JVC QL Y66F turntable yesterday off a CL advert. Paid 60 bucks for it from the original owner who bought on June 9, 1986 in Ramstein AB, Germany for $280.00. It has a Shure ML 140 HE cartridge. It sounds very nice. It needs a good cleaning, a bit dusty. I'm liking it :banana:

Oh yeah, hell of a deal on those Grado HP-1000's!

Finest kind,

A really nice pair of ESS-AMT-1A, all original and re foamed 5 years ago, with all paper work and owners manual. Why didn't anyone tell me the heils were this nice, i would of been looking for a pair of these a long time ago.

Not my picture, but a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9a Headphones. They're quite amazing when amped, and there's a couple mods out there to improve the soundstage. Just need to find some Sticky EVA Foam.
 
Pair of Behringer passive studio monitors B2031P 8.75 inch woofer and 1" dome tweeter have them hooked up to an HP p7 computer with an m audio interface a a 100wpc amp and a separate dedicated powered subwoofer for listening /mixing they sound pretty decent .
