    I need a phono preamp

    Hola! My new-old-stock Realistic preamp arrived. Plastic sounds pretty! Wow, I love it, even though I'm forced to get off my tail and physically turn records over to hear an entire album (how analog...). Typing of which, it's time to switch to classical, most likely Mozart.

    I need a phono preamp

    Of course I'll keep AK updated on how my vinyl journey goes. Based on the eBay listing's pics this preamp may be new, as in unused! We'll see...

    I need a phono preamp

    I bought it. ~$45, so I'm very happy that my wife will assume I'm off my meds buying old Radio Shack parts! I hope the model # is a 'new,' heavy, Class A, low-noise, hi-fi treasure for me.

    Well, shoot. I missed it! EBay is now directing me to identical auctions, so I'll get my rear in gear and arrive at hi-end audio vinyl assp.

    I need a phono preamp

    You grabbed my attention with pure Class-A. I owned/loved the three Class-A Marantz amplifiers I used before the eighty-mile-per-hour blow to my noggin ten years ago. My ridiculously good hearing is no more, but I've healed enough to be picky again! Realistic phono preamps would've been items...

    I need a phono preamp

    Friends! I bought my first turntable recently. I've had an important-to-me record over ten years that I've never heard. Since I bought my $5.00 British turntable I've found several more local thrift that I believe I'll enjoy! Neither receiver in my home speaks vinyl. I think I need a phono...

    Anyone here ever buy at shopgoodwill?

    While living in Round Rock (on top of Austin, TX) I shopped the local GoodWill store as often as possible! It was as large as a Super WalMart. One day I was quickly walking through it and almost knocked over a waist high stack of records. ON TOP OF THE STACK was a 'Light Force' record. One of...

    What TT's do you folks have

    Hello, 'friends'! I haven't been on ak in a while. My current living-room system uses a YAMAHA RX-V665 7.2 channel receiver. I was very happy to recently come across a Garrard GT120ap turntable in a local Cedar City, UT thrift store to play the ONE record I feel very blessed to have found on...

    Technics SB-E200 Speakers

    I had a GREAT new home built, and the living-room home-theatre system sounds great! I'm relieved to be able to separate the mains by a few more feet. A new friend thought that my new living room would look better with MUCH smaller, more modern speakers. I respectfully disagree, and my...

    Utah AK Meet?

    I've been down in Enoch (tiny rural town on top of Cedar City) for about four years. I LOVE my systems, and don't plan on doing anything different with them anytime soon. I know of no other audiophiles around here, and recently became very fortunate finding a co-worker who was selling A-LOT!

    Technics SB-E200 Speakers

    After I helped her family out when they badly needed it, she decided that I'm trustworthy, and let me take them home! They are large, to me, and barely fit in my mid-sized sedan. The home-made speaker stands went in my trunk. These are the best speakers I've ever owned! AMAZING!!! I awoke...

    Technics SB-E200 Speakers

    Hello, co-listeners. I'll be making another payment very soon. I'm thinking about asking to take them home before they're completely paid for (I'm a disabled audiophile). I think that she'll be fine with that. If she's not, I'll just need to wait a bit longer while I chomp at the bit.

    Technics SB-E200 Speakers

    I have less than $200 left on my payment plan. YES!!! Yes, they're very difficult to find. I was made aware of them by a co-worker whose aunt owned them. They sound SO great!
