What's your latest audio purchase?

[MER71]

Marantz 6370Q and some other stuff for $200.

SX-950, picked it up at the electronic recycle center for $200. Powers up, lights and meters work, but no output (or relay "click"). Took it to my tech this afternoon. Here's a pic of the cover for now.

Angstrom Radix 200 speakers for $40. Not a bad little speaker. Need to find some foams that fit though.

Schiit Fulla 2 DAC / Preamp / Headphone Amp. This little guy is $99 plus some shipping. I've been listening a lot to flacs on headphones, straight out of my laptop, lately. I haven't A-B'd it yet vs. the laptop's inboard DAC, and I'm always wary of the placebo effect, but my initial reaction after an hour or so is "yeah, that's clearly better." A few tunes sound a little bright, one even a little hissy, but early returns are positive.

My first pair of cornwalls

Congrats! Even though the Klipsch sound is not everyone's cup of tea, I say you made a wise purchase! I hope you enjoy them.

Latest was to help a friend purchase a pioneer package from CL that included a six disc cd, laser disc player, dual cassette, tuna and c90/ m90 combo. The m90 unfortunately is in protect mode and was missing the door on the front. The c90 needs a very heavy cleaning and deoxit. He hasn't tried the other pieces yet. I told my friend even with the issues of c90/m90 everything was well bought for $150.

Sweeter by the hour.

Sadly, I only know these amps by reputation. I'd love to hear them someday. They are special, congratulations @mkane.

And this bias just a bit on the hot side with my line voltage. Making adjustments now.

Hey
A few months back I bought this Conrad Johnson pv5 here . I listened to it for a few weeks before catching a case of the upgrade virus. It just came back from Bill Thalman at Music Technology.
I'm pretty happy with it . It has put a stop to my preamp lust.
For awhile.

A big G8000
Ya buddy!

 

[Yodathedog]

4 pairs of ADS L470s, all working except for one woofer. That one's cabinet is damaged so I'm not surprised. Sounds like an off center voice coil. I have replacements. $240 for all 8.

 

[Markoneswift]

My first phono pre - a humble little Pro-Ject Record Box E. It sounds pretty good ( at least as good as my built-in phone stages) and gives me flexibility to listen to records on s couple of amps without phono inputs. Only cost me $40 so I'm happy with that for now.

SVS SB-1000 subwoofer on it's way to me now

 

[holyman772]

Picked up this HK TA 600 on the cheap for the garage. Nice sounding unit.

 

[91r100gs]

A nice dustcover for the VPI Traveler. Only took 5 years.

I stopped at Target to check out a ChromeCast Audio and saw it was on clearance for 1/2 off. So I bought it. At that price, I could use 2 more, so I drove all over town looking for more (6 stores). I bought the LAST ONE in town. The price dropped from $17.50 to $10.50, but they had all sold out by then.

I have it hooked up already. It is a very nice wireless streamer from a mobile device.



Seems like a lot of people bought them up to try to sell on the auction site. I see many for $20 to 25. It hardly seems worth the effort to buy them and then sell them and make only a couple bucks.
