Amplifier

dudeinaroom

I don't care if it works, I don't care what it is. I just need one. I'm broke so I'm looking to pay nothing -shipping. Tube solid state I don't care as long as it has inputs, speaker outputs, a power switch and a power cord. PM me with info and I'll set it up so you can slap me up side the head.

Later all,

Anyone have a decent amp for $300.00 or less shipped? if so and he wants it im buying. I have been planning on sending him the amp I am currently using which thats about what its worth $$ wise as soon as my main amp was out of the shop but unfortunately it is still there a year later

I have a nice Yamaha MX630 amp. It has 135W into 8ohms, 160W into 6ohms and 190W into 4ohms. I would sell it for 150.00 plus shipping if you were interested.

george daniel

Can you let us know what the rest of the rig is? That might help.:)

dudeinaroom

Monitor 7s cheapy Sony turntable, Kenwood tuner, Yamaha tape deck, B&K pre.

Snow no biggie, but I would really go see that repair guy, and see if it is in his rig, or if he fixed it and returned it to the wrong person. That's a long time too have some thing and not have it fixed. I believe you said it had a problem with an rca connector? That is like less than a half hour fix. If I was up there I would fix it for you for nothing (which I hope is what he charges you for as long as he has had it).

I just started this thread to get some chuckles. If I can't afford and amp after tax time this year, I will most likely re karma the tuner, and the pre.

snow

Well the offer still stands, if you see something you want just let me know Ted. I go there about once evey month or two to bug him about fixing my stuff, he has 3 of my audio items there two amps and a receiver, one of the amps has been there over 2 years :eek:

Snow:

Is one of those your sunfire? That is a pretty crappy deal $500 to fix a broken RCA not to mention shipping.

George:

I forgot to mention it may power sda 2s also

Are you still looking? I am sure there's something in the basement that could have your name on it for the cost of shipping (continental US)... maybe a receiver instead of amplifier; 2-channel(?).

dudeinaroom

yup, only problem is, I'm so broke I can't even um..............what was I saying, oh yeah, pay attention.

Libertyc

I might have something for you. let me check my closet.

No I managed to get the Sunfire out of the shop after only 6 months or so of waiting but sold it a few days later. The one I really want to get out of the shop now is a proton AA-2120. Or the receiver thats sitting there since last sept or october also, if I manage to get it out I will sell it and buy another amp for my main amp and probally just pull my other stuff out. Here are a few pics of the proton and the receiver.

Those are killer. I really like the Proton. Have had a couple come up locally for dirt cheap and wishing I had the money then. You really don't see high end stuff come up around here too often. Main thing you see here are the independent department store type of HT in a box. You know the type with 5 speakers with 2" drivers and a MASSIVELY HUGE 6.5" sub that digs all the way down to 70hz. about a year ago a guy had a carver set up with I thin a c6 pre 2 tcb?? 1.5s a tuner and CD player for $500, and a pair of B&Ws in another add. I E-mailed him, and he never got back to me. I was going to buy it for the amps, and pass the rest on to polkies for what ever the cost break down ended up being.

I understand it is like an audio desert wasteland up here very few items to be had that are even semi worthwhile at any price. If you find something local or if something catches your eye on here send me a PM and I will send you or the seller some money.

I can not let you do that. If you want though you could adopt me and my family,then I won't have to worry about audio equipment, and you would be able to listen to another set of sdas. LOL. Now if you wanted to buy me house I would not refuse. lol. I've been this long with out an amp, my receiver is still getting me by, I just miss the added depth, detail, accuracy and visceral power. I miss having a sound stage that is pinpoint accurate and extends beyond my walls.

snow

I understand. It would be cheaper to buy you an amp rather than the adoption option though

Oh come on, last night I told my wife I'd love love to live in Alaska, every thing I have ever seen of the country side is so beautiful. I love Snow I don't care how deep it is, I just hate the cold. Yeah It may get down into the teens during the days here in the winter, but 40 below I just don't know.

Don't sell it like the last time someone gave you gear.

Its only -29 and snowing at the moment but I have seen it very cold up here, hard to even imagine how it feels until you experience it. The coldest ambient temp I have personally seen was -83 in a little town about 200 miles from here in 67-68? I was living in a small Indian village on the yukon river in 1975 and one day it reached -74 with average winds around 60 mph and gusts over 80 mph that felt bitterly cold, any exposed skin froze in seconds. If you were to throw a cup of coffee in the air at that temp it would freeze and make a loud cracking sound before it hit the ground no joke!

Oh I won't. And it was the same person. Had real bad times then, and was hurting real bad for money then. It's not that bad now. My wife might be getting on disability for her MS and if that's the case even if it does get bad, it won't be as bad as it was. Last summer we live in a tent for 3 months. The owner of the camp ground let us stay there for a month at half the normal rate. After that he moved us out to his canoe launch site, and was going to pay us to stay there, but I told him I would not accept any type of payment as he was already being a big help to us. And we had free electricity. You would have laughed if you saw the inside of our tent. We had a 27" tv, receiver dvd player and some tiny realistic speakers. Nothing tastes as good as food cooked over a camp fire.

dudeinaroom

Oh I believe the coffee thing. And I know about the frost bite thing. Temps right now are in the low 40's. Not expecting snow until next week. Coldest I've seen is -20 with 30 mph winds with 45 mph gusts.

dudeinaroom

Come join in the thread, no fighting allowed. OK, I'll take anything, I've already got a pre and a tuna and a tape deck. My DVD/SACD/CD player (does not do DVD-A), and Turntable are mediocre. But I really could use an amp. I think a Belles would be nice, or a Proton, or a Pass labs, or a Manley

concealer404

God that Proton is gorgeous.

I've been thinking about you, though.... i'm trying to sack up and grab a new amp for my 2-channel rig. If i manage to find something i like before you find something, you can have my Oinker.
