She used to play on Austin City Limits a lot, back in the late-'80s and early-'90s.

I am really surprised how heavy the box is on this 2-channel Integrated! Marantz Model 40N Will be unpacking shortly.

Done unpacking lol. Build quality looks to be rock solid, like the binding posts and the remote has some heft to it. I am spoiled with Class D, This 2 Channel Class A/B weighs a lot.

Scored a pair of Dayton B652’s. 6.99ea at goodwill. Always been curious about them since people seem impressed by them. Hooked them up in my bedroom system as
mains. Haven’t tested yet.

A great find. Have fun with them and find them a good home.

Thanks Jim. I think I’ll keep them in the BR system. I have two other surround systems, and a 2.1 up in my studio. I think they might be better than the Yamaha BS speakers that were in there. We’ll see. For the price I had to see! Iirc, there’s a XO mod. Might be Dennis murphys?

After dropping over two grand on my transmission, I decided to ease the pain a bit.

Thought of you when I saw this yesterday at a thrift store. It was $69. Nope didn't get it, but decent deal though.

The thrift stores around here don't have anything like that- goodwill has been taking the good stuff and putting it on their website. I was looking a guitar amps today and saw a stereo power amp with a $4000 price.

Damn that sucks I see guitar amps all the time. From small to big at my thrift stores.

Yep came in Monday. Still setting it up, one of the mods wasn't correct so not completely built/rideable yet. I can only last so long in the garage this time of year, its damn cold out there (we got snow Monday evening too, so riding opportunities are slim anyways).

 

[afterlife2]

Some more 3D Blu-rays and one 4K with a 3D Blu-ray.

 

[gimpy]

Ahhhh, I actually, just yesterday, watched Alita, Battle Angel. On TV.

I have heard of people walking into a Goodwill and buying a Tweed Champ for fifteen bucks, but not recently. THAT'S the kind of deal I'd like to see.

I thought I had checked every place that might have something, but forgot about one that's not terribly far from my house. Started as a jewelry store but they have added artwork, collectible knives, guitars & amps and the last one is partly due to the fact that the owner plays guitar and, I assume, collects. Checked out a small Vox and saw an Orange Crush 20RT sitting on another amp. I haven't been interested in little amps since "they all sound boxy". No, they don't. The used to, but that's not necessarily the case, now. I had also avoided solid state amps like the plague, but it's pretty good. I didn't have high expectations and was only looking for something to use while my other amp gets new filter caps- this one may stick around for awhile. The distortion channel is terrible- grindy, nasty, nothing I will use. I was familiar with Orange amps of the '70s, but hadn't needed something different in decades. My main amp turns 65 this month.

I'm surprised no one has started a musical instrument thread. I have a vintage Ampeg V4B head that's all original (mid '70s). The V4B was basically the V4 without the reverb targeted at bass players. I haven't powered it up in years because I know that some of those caps have most certainly gone by now. A lot of players don't realize that while the amp may still work, those bad caps can leak DC that will fry the tubes. Hoping to do a complete restoration some day but the thing weighs over 40 lbs and there is 540V on the secondary from the power transformer, so not for the inexperienced tech.
