Retro, of all the gear we hear about you picking up, do you ever sell any?

If not, your house must be wall to wall rack systems!

Not that that's a bad thing mind you...

Tell us about the tuner. Are you getting that too? Shouldn't be more than $25 at the pricing he has for the rest of the system.

I'm interested in your thoughts on the L-990s, too.

 

[Urizen]

Yes!!!:thmbsp:

 

[Redboy]

Well, it looks like I dropped the ball on that one. I still equate the color black with BPC, so I passed on by...

Congrats to ya, Retro! :thmbsp:

Any late-night reports on the set?

 

[Carve it]

Congrats! :thmbsp:



Just waiting for the review and curious about the tuner also.

I'm picking everything up this afternoon, I'll get some pictures when I get it set up tonight.

The tuner ended up being a Nakamichi ST-7, which ranks 75th in the tuner shoot-outs. It was $850 new, but usually sells for $200 or less on eBay. The owner of this one wants $300, so I don't think I'll be bringing that home. If anyone else wants it, let me know.

The owner sure has his prices mangled. Keep us posted on the set.
I emailed him after you and before I had checked the forums (didn't know an AK'er was after them).

 

[Blue Shadow]

That is right, prices just wrong on the items. Nice score and good to leave the tuner at his house. Wait until he tries to unload that and tells the prospective buyer what he let go of for less.

Okay, here are a couple of pictures I promised. The gentleman I bought the system from is living in a very upscale neighborhood loaded with million dollars houses. He had me sit in his listening chair and proceeded to put on some opera music and when I closed my eyes, it felt like I was at the opera. Very nice sounding and very well cared for system. The Citation 24 and 21 are absolutely mint and the speakers only issue is one grill is missing one of the six pegs, the good news is, it's one of the middle pegs and not a corner one. I am very happy with this deal and wish you guys could all hear how awesome it sounds. Oh, and in checking prices from my Orion Blue Book, the total value of this system new was over $2100......
