Any vintage Audio fans here?

Posted By joel falk

Very nice.

Do they still work well?

I had a Sony STR- 7065 I purchased in 1973. I felt it was very good and better than some of it better known rivals at the time. Shortly after it came out, its rivals came out with their new receivers as well.

I am holding the following for a frioend:
(1)Sony STR - 7065 (Not the one I purchased in 1973.)
(2)A pair of JBL L100.

Do you remember the Ohm F speakers?

For sometime now I remember the XOs being at $319 or. I am not sure if that is 18 or 24 months.

About 18 monthe ago Pentax became very strict in enforcinf a minimum prices on the XWs. Just about everyone now sells them at $339 or $549 depending on size.

any other tube heads here?

Posted By joel falk

So far I have heared some great tube preamps (line and phono stage) as well as tube CD players.

However, amps are another matter. I find they just cannot get the base right (at least for anything that may be considered reasoble in price).

I also understand than some companies will start making tube amps that will do much better getting the base right. However, they will still cost over $10,000.

Currently, I have solid state monoblocks, a tube preamp, and a tube CD player.
