Here's my vintage Dynaco SCA-35 Tube amp I'm restoring - it's no McIntosh but it's quite nice
Also, I have a few vintage Technics TT's, this one is a quite rare 1976 sl-23 BD with a Grado Red Prestige needle.

Gotta love Google. Here is a pic and a webpage with my Technics amp:

And my EQ, which was the pride of the setup back in the day:

Technics was actually Panasonic's high end audio line. same as Dewalt is Black & Deckers high end line. i work in a panasonic factory authorized service center and worked on lots of audio units. it was a damn shame when we threw out most of our paper service manuals a few years ago. but since most if it is avaliable from manufactuers web sites or on cd the power that be didnt really see a need to keep it anymore.

I have a few old pieces in the garage setup, a couple of which I just sold. Still have a few NIP 8 tracks. I really like the sound of the Pioneer SX series. Been on the lookout for an SX-1050, but they are selling way too high right now. That is a sweet Marantz 8rad!

Me too I'm told I'll need to replace a few of the tubes, but otherwise it's in great condition.
I love going to audio classics and drooling over all the McIntosh stuff I can't afford

Funny you should post that, I was just considering going there tomorrow on my day off to take a look around. I lived right down the hill from them for a year(in the apartments by the skating rink), and now live a few miles away, but have never actually been in the store.

Coool, talk to Ernie he's super cool and always up for a chit-chat about audiophile stuff when he's not busy

My "vintage" will be from the early 90's when the time comes (not now with a 2 and 6 year old running around). In 1994-1996 I worked on and off in a high end audio store with Mark Levinson, Wilson Audio, Spectrel, MIT cables, Rotel, Marantz, Faroudja (spelling?). It was a fun place to work!

I have a Marantz 2230B receiver that I found on Craigslist from the original owner. It also came with the owners manual. The sound is so full and rich compared to modern equipment. I bought it to replace the old boom box radio I'd been using in the garage. I feel a little guilty usiing it in the garage, but I spend a lot of time out there and it really fills the space with great sound.

Lately I have been finding myself diverting funds from RC into a new found interest of mine. Vintage stereo equipment.

Having become somewhat irritated by our "Its cheaper to buy a new one than fix the old one." society we live in, I acquired this stereo. A 1973 Marantz 2245.



Does anyone else have any sweet gear to show off?

I used to have that Amp, weigh an absolute ton! Classic

[urpaldan]

8rad, that marantz is lush! ive got tons of marantz separates in my loft. Just upgraded to a new onkyo surround receiver. good stuff!

Sweet solid state Marantz pieces *droool*

Nothing to add as far as pics. But going to the drugs store with my mom to test tubes for the radio and tv sucked.
