So, lately the vintage-audio virus has come out of remission, and I am now gripped with the fever. It all started so innocently...
I went hunting for a turntable for my son at Goodwill and found a boxed Yamaha TT-400u. Still had the protector on the headshell. Also found an Onkyo TX-SR608 (no remote, HDMI circuits kaput, but otherwise, a decent hunk) and some unremarkable, but good-enough-for-now Phase Tech Euro-somethingorother floor-standing speakers. For the rest of the week, it was like a dam had burst, and I was awash in crazy-cheap deals. Klipsch Epic CF-2 (meh.) Sansui 9090db, Sansui 8080db and Klipsch Heresy's (overpaid, even before I realized they need to be recapped) A low-level Dual turntable and a curious little pair of Frazier horizontal bookshelf speakers. (one ragged cone)
I know. Weird, right?
Now, all of these have one issue or another, so now I have reason to finally dig into the world of audio gear and start learning in earnest - which is why I am coming out of occasional-lurk-mode to ask a bunch of questions and join in some conversations. .
I really appreciate this place: Low noise/high signal discussions among some really smart, enthusiastic people who are willing to share. I am very much looking forward to participating. I can't add much accumulated knowledge, but I hope I can pose some interesting questions.
Thanks again!
