Audio is exasperating.

I recently literally gave away some tube sets and some nice Sansui pieces.

Now I have an hitch for a MC 240, which was a model I owned many years ago. I am trying to ignore this feeling because I know it gonna cost me some.

But, hey, what an old fart like me going to do with money?

There are two listed in Bargain Town.
A cheaper alternative is experimentation with the newer class D chip amps, like the Nobsound Dual chip TPA3116+ f.i., which has impressed me.

Finally some decent albums at the GW.
Most of them sound pretty good for 40 year old records.

It was on the cart that GW just rolled out. In my area they roll the cart out with new stuff and then let the carts sit so customers can lighten the load.
I left behind Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, and Deep Purple's Made In Japan because I had those on LP already, except for the Deep Purple one I don't really like them.

I picked up an entire McIntosh SS system today; seller would not sell individual pieces. The couple lived for years in Singapore which is where they bought all the pieces. A cdp, preamp, three amps (for tri-amping

), speakers and a gorgeous wooden rack for all the gear. It was a fantastic deal and he had several buyers lined up behind me, but I had the first dibs. Lucky me.

Best I can do is to keep my fingers crossed.

These pieces all came from the original owner (bought in 1998) and they are in exceptional condition, not over driven or abused. All I really was looking for was a minimum 300wpc Mac amp and now I am swimming in Mac amps (and Brystons).

Sell the ones you don't need and you'll have plenty of $ to fix up the keepers.
