Getting ThereThis looks like a modern day take on an old school '70s stereo. Very cool indeed. Please don't up grade this system. Keep it intact in another room if you get the itch. (BTW isn't the rx4109 a ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Aaron Knock's SystemI've had my best systems w/ a passive pre or the variable output from a source direct to a tube amp, so I hear you when you say you want to bypass a preamp. It makes for a very rewarding system. Pl... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Living room audioJfg, you definitely don't look 73. Congratulation on your young genes. To entice you, a nice used vintage tt (when they were great in the hay-day) is very modestly priced. I also buy used LPs f... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |

My VINTAGE system from the golden age of tubes.So very nice!!! I've read so much about Bozaks that I need to hear them someday. You are just missing a rebuilt Lenco 75, Dual 1029, Garard 301, or Thorens 124 turntable instead of that modern VPI. posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
