I'll side with ha1156 here. In 1967 my folks bought one that had the identical cabinet appearance, but it had the older style Collaro changer with the thick black plastic tonearm. Yours is defintely newer than that.

How come no one has grabbed these Pioneer S-910's? They're a real baragin. All they need is surrounds. http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/ele/400955428.html They were the follow-up model to the HPM-900, only better because they have a nicer cabinetry and prettier all around appearance...

By far the best deal right now is also at PE -- they're selling 'ordinary' RCA style patch cords for a mere 18 cents (not a misprint) each! Not only are they adequate for everyday use, but at that price it makes sense to buy a few dozen so you can give away a couple with each vintage piece...

The lazy sphicter L300 seller ripped the description and photos from an eBay auction. I wouldn't trust his conniving butt. :nono:

If you don't routinely douse the case with citrus oil, it might not be vintage

NosMatt, The series you're speaking about was made from 1978-80 and had four receivers in the lineup. First, the 340, which was a 20 watter, the 450, which was a 30 watter, the 40 watt 560 and finally, the 60 watt 670. I've attached a photo of an ad circular of the time showing the four...

xaophexox, While the HPM's were apart did you coat the insides of the boxe with damping like Blackhole 5 or Plast-i-clay? Did you use bypass caps with your new Solens? If you didn't, you still have some work left to do.... :))

Alex, It's interesting that you mentioned that your tuning indicator doesn't move. When I got my 560, the tuner would move about half way down the scale and then do an abrupt stop. If I pushed 'in' on the round white string wheel it would then work properly, but only until the wheel and...

Nothing induced that euphoric feeling faster than my bedroom system Pioneer SX-980 and JBL L46's. It usually took less than a minute.

Hmm, well so far it's a clean sweep -- everyone except me likes NADs. Oh well, at least Joe Rosen of AA fame is on my side. He called the NAD sound "turgid". Hey, there is a bright side! It' seems there's a ready market here for a nice NAD piece. When the member classifieds come back up...

Congrats, Bully, you did the right thing since you weren't using it anyway. Opinions vary, but I don't think you lost out at all. To me the sound of the early NAD's tends to be 'diffuse', which some enjoy, but personally, I like a more focused sound. I take it you do too judging from the...

Thanks for all of the tips, guys! I did try a few things to get what I wanted out of them, but didn't succeed. As a result, I sent them down the road yesterday. BTW, thanks for the alert about them being "not quite" Heritages. That gives me new hope that there's still something good...

Hi guys, today I found a nice pair of Chorus' and snapped them up. I have KG 3.2's and was looking forward to my first taste the Heritage line. However, now that they're playing, they're a real letdown. The sound is rounded, slow, recessed and out of focus. :boring: Is this...

OK, I've been storing this up for a while.... Just from my own experience, I think most '70's era oriental SS amps sound grainy. I've tried multiple examples of them all, including Marantz, Kenwood, Pioneer, Yamaha, etc. Oddly, the best one I ever had was an Onkyo 4500MKII. That thing was...

You can contact BC himself at his AudioCircle forum. http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?PHPSESSID=gvagiqkki6o7nip09sgvff3684&board=39.0 If you think his old designs are good, wait until you hear his ultra transparent new RM40's. They use two 12" woofers for the lows and then...

So does the number "97" in your name mean you were born in 19997? :)

Here's the brochure from NAD themselves. BTW, I agree wholeheartedly about the "lack of focus" complaint in the TNT review. I judge my 3120 as being all but unlistenable because of that. The effect is to audio what a blurry picture is to video. The pre section does have a good phono stage...

Cool, a nice Pioneer system and JBL L36's!! They ought to sound fine together!! Quite a score! Get some new surrounds for the 125A woofers and let 'er rip! Jay

Lots of ultra cool picks so far, but I'll go most of Rockfords Firebirds or the GTO's and Firebirds used in I Dream of Jeanie. Better yet, The Aston-Martin DBS from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. To me, that was the best ever Aston...

Ok guys, seriously, I am looking to step up from 3.2's, so of your above list, which DON"T have a rear or side firing port or woofer? I have a modest sized room and can't place anything too far from the walls. Jay

Ultra-hog, I'm standing in your boots almost exactly! I sure like my 3.2's for the bedroom system. In the larger room main system, they show a midrange dip and a pronounced "plasticy" coloration from the woofers, but in the bedroom system, it's pure pleasure. It must have something to do with...

I once had AR-4X's and had the same question about power handling. I contacted Winslow Burhoe, the original designer of the 4x's, and asked him. He said that he thought that 100 watts would be too much, but 50 ought to be safe. Even with their low efficiency, 50 watts going through them would...

Dynaco did a lot of business, but no one has topped Rat Shack. Not even close. They've been #1 for a long time. Think about it, they've been around for decades and have a retail store every few miles in populated areas. It's too bad they're throwing it all away in favor of cell phone sales --...

eThink, the 505 was above the 503, and was the top integrated in the '78-80 period. It was rated at 60 watts per, just like its corrsponding receiver, the 670. There's more about it over on AA, and if you search deep enough, you'll find that even Joe Rosen recommended it. Supposedly it...

His name is familiar. Didn't he design the Shelby Daytona race car in 1965? He had the touch.
