What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[Eppie]

It has great playback after adjustments on sound. Insides were clean. The inside of the cassette area had major dust. After using a blower and some alcohol on the heads I'm so happy with it, especially at the price. I have (4) 2 head decks now. Which Pioneer TT did you sell? He got a good deal.

Took me a while to find the photos. Turns out I had the CT-W404R cassette deck. The tt was the PL-600 with a no-name cartridge. The receiver did not look like much but actually had decent specs. Plenty of power and drove my Paradigms quite well. Everything worked well. This was a church bazaar purchase. Didn't pay more than $40 for the whole lot. Nice thing was that the donor included all power cables, owners manuals, remotes, and interconnects, including the remote control cables that allow you to operate the cassette and CD with the main remote. The tt was meh. I had to order a belt for it so I also grabbed a spare, but when I walked across the living room floor it would skip. It needed a totally stable platform and was sensitive to vibration. We asked $100 for the system and got $80. Not a bad starter system for someone looking on the cheap side. The buyer was from out east and looking for a complete system as he moved recently. He was very happy with the purchase.

Was the twist-tie on the tonearm (at least that's what it looks like) to prepare it for transport or needed generally ?

Wise guy.
Yes it was for transport. The base had too much spring to it, like many overpriced vintage Thorens.

At first when I saw the red case I thought you had somehow found an HD-DVD version of it.

I saw Fogerty live a few years back, at the Austin City Limits Theater.

Fogerty toured through Canada a number of years ago. It was a great show, full of high energy despite his age and his voice was still good. What killed me is that he used every stage show trick in the book. It was like a lesson in what you can do at a rock concert.

Thanks Brother, Was looking to pick up the RX-A4A can't find any A4A Yamaha's. BestBuy said it had one on it's site. So I called into the store dude checked said they had none. Amazon has 16 RX-A2A, well 15 now. I let my Son talk me into selling my RX- A1080 to him, wish I hadn't, knowing now no telling when the RX-A4A gonna pop up on the web. From the reviews, of the A2A, A4A seems Yamaha made good on the 2.1 issues with Aventage line. One dude reviewed went on to say he hooked up his PS5 and all's good. But as you guy's know doesn't mean some won't get one with hiccups. Anyways I'll post up photo's and a lil short review when I get it setup.
