Something Vintage

Sherod, I bought the Tyr lls when new after a rave review by Gordon Holt in Stereophile. Nice speakers, if you don't drop them on your toe!

Sansui TU-919 tuner, which I prefer over my previous megabuck Magnum Dynalab MD-108 tuner. Also have a nice collection of 1960's vintage NOS tubes from Telefunken, Amperex & Sylvania.

Here some old Radio Shack catalogs with REAL HIFI gear.LINK>>

Yamaha MX-1000U, CX-1000U, EQ 1000U. All with remote control units. This amp and preamp are incredible STILL. I don't use the EQ much with exception with some of the redbook cd's. In perfect condition.

Yamaha CR 1020. Wonderful unit. Some recent problems with the volume control. Hoping to find a way to fix that.

McIntosh XR-7 loudspeakers (4) with the model #107 Mac equalizer. Also a pair of XR-5s. JBL L65s. All in pristine condition. The Macs blow the JBLs away but I use them in different systems.

I also own a vintage auto as a seasonal car but that's another topic.

Vintage can be fun if one chooses wisely and takes care of it.

Dependent on what you call vintage -- I have either one or three items in my setup.

1 for sure -- a Revox A77 Mk III with a WIRED remote -- yes -- like twenty feet of cable to the remote box.

2 optional -- a 90's vintage Muse Model 2+ DAC and an Audio Alchemy DTI Pro32. These guys are to pull the HDCD stuff off as well as doing what they do best -- work.
