Wow! More Sony VFET stuff! That's not common these days, especially with the Vfets still intact!
I have a ST-5950SD tuner, TAE-8450 preamp, and TAN-8550 VEFT power amp that I am someday going to set up as a "very vintage solid state" system, along with a TTS-3000 Turntable, Kenwood KC-6060A scope, Pioneer RT-707 reel to reel, and Nakamichi 1000 cassette deck. Another project....
As far as recent deals, in the last month, I have dragged home:
what is supposedly Aaron Copland's OTHER McIntosh MC40 (long story there....)
A large haul from Deadfish's (RIP) wife, Susan:
Mapletree Audio Magic 5B SE linestage
Bryston 10BNRB active crossover (the solder resistor frequency change one, not the knob based change one)
Bryston 2B
Fisher combo radio/phono all in one
Theta DSPro Basic II DAC
Theta Universal Transport (picked up earlier)
Theta Linear filter somethings?
Some Kimber digital cable in a velvet box
Hagerman Cornet tube phono stage
Hagerman Clarinet tube linestage
Bottlehead SEX kit
Van Alstine Tanscendence Five SLR
Unknown 300B stereo amp with a lot of iron, pins bent on the 300Bs so they sit funny, was told it smoked
Dynaco SCA-35, maybe modded
Dynaco ST-70, modded
JVC 105E/5107 amplifier and matching tuner
Kenwood KA-5002? I think
Harman Kardon AVR from the nineties
JVC TD-V99A cassette deck
Dual 1219 in a nice base with an Audio Technica AT12 cart
Yamaha 3 way bookshelf speakers
Altec 890C Boleros in poor condition
A box of tubes, but nothing that looks crazy interesting. Everything that said Mullard said 12aU7 and there weren’t many power tubes. Some US 6SN7 and 12AX7, a few others
Box of cables including some decent looking speaker cables.
Haul 2, from the sold-to-a-rehabber-who-knew-me home of our deceased friend Bob Armbruster, who was my earliest audio mentor:
Pair of LEE Catenoids in Blonde
Pair of Klipsch Decorator Cornwalls
Pair of EV Sentry 2 in rough shape
Pickering Model 180C
1.25 milk crates of records including a Telarc direct to disc and a couple Telarc digitals
2 Teac reel to reel cassettes
7.5ips Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow tape
1 empty 35mm cool looking takeup reel
1 35mm roll of film
6 rolling dollies (for speakers)
Advent 400 radio and speaker
2 boxes filled with random tapes and books
Variac lighting control panel
I had to go back for a second trip to get the ElectroVoice Sentry 3s, and a friend got the Magnavox mono tube console.
Likely more to come. It's been a busy month-expect a bit of this stuff to make it up to the Flea Market thread. I can't keep it all!
