    I cannot see what it is, though :-P
    Onkyo? Sony? Pie-O-neer?

    I'm gonna guess Pioneer on the bottom and possibly a Kenwood, or another Pioneer on top?

    mmm - I thought the bottom unit looked like a Sony CDP to me... but you may well be right :-)

    I love this game ;-)

    My entire setup is from Craigslist. Craigslist does not suck.

    Yeah, Randy was just kidding about that. I've also gotten some gems from CL including EPI 120Cs, my Monitor 10As and 7Bs and a number of other things. Including some nice vintage silver face receivers, etc.

    My only actual brush with Craigslist was a pair of functional but needy ReVox A77s and a more-or-less intact EICO HF-85 preamp from a very nice guy in Pepperell, MA.

    :-) Next time, sneak a photo of the 'tube amp'...

    The Concord's not exactly high-end, but it's also not something you see every day.

    It didn't start out life looking like that! :-)
    Nice lookin' piece of hardware; should sound good, too.
    Stromberg-Carlson had a tendency to use "odd" (off-the-beaten-path) output tubes; but this one is, it appears, using 6V6. Looks like this amp has been "adapted" to use something in place of 7199 for the voltage amp/phase splitter?

    Thanks, I bought these adapters that convert the 7199 socket to accept 6gh8a tubes.
    To my ears the amperex 6gh8a sounds a little more musical than the 7199 did. Tube swapping is another offshoot of this "sickness" we share.

    I got this Thorens TD-125 mkII (with SME 3009) for free on CL!

    P1060635.JPG



    Well basically free.

    It was part of a listing of "Stereo Stuff $500.00". It was this TT, a Kenwood kr-9940 and a pair of JBL Aquarius IV's and some massive teac cassette deck (top loader). And a new in the box Stanton quad cartridge with 2 needles (1 shibata).

    At the time I really didn't have any money to "spare" ; But I went for it anyway.

    I had to replace the surrounds on the JBL's ($30-40); And a friend of mine was over when I hooked them up he fell in love and gave me $300 for them.

    Sold the Kenwood for $150

    Sold the cart for $100

    Hell; I even sold the hinges off the dust-cover for $75!

    So I guess I got paid a few bucks to keep the Thorens!

    Craigslist does not suck!


    I also recently bought a Western Electric KS-15750 for $100 (tube tester)


    That SANSUI G2000 was the fist stereo I ever owned!

    Picked up a ok package deal last night in Portland All Minty. R30 fronts-r15 rears-csi3 centre-psw202-onkyo txsr602.. The guy said the tweet was gone in one of the r30's-- it wasnt the case RECEIVER ISSUES. This may be my HT temp because being NEW condition for cheap complete set up price was worth it..yeah i know low budget HT. But 98.5 % of my time is music. So this should be better than my C Sworks soundbar---the Onkyo is going? HK or Denon or newer Pioneer.. OH the csi3 is a beefy son of a gun too..
