Anyone need some vintage Mcintosh. Don't see cragslist postings like this in Eugene, Or very often. $15,000 takes it all.   http://eugene.craigslist.org/ele/5266289047.html   no affiliation on my part

Here's my headphone amp. It's all I need !!!  

Yep....I have a kenwood ka 907. It'a a highly regarded piece and I certainly like mine. The headphone out will make the HE 6 sing!!! It will, however, not add any warmth or coloration to the sound. The 907 is very detailed and neutral. Mine is fully recapped I have not heard about unobtainable...

  Yes, Yes, This is the best thread by far on head fi. This is the place that got me to go vintage and it's been a great journey. Huge thanks to moodyrn and Skylab and others. I spent plenty time and $$$ chasing the flavor of the month in headphones and dedicated amps. Not anymore. No interest...

Whatever tombo is on...I'd like some.       Oh yeah, I have a G9000 and it's awesome. fully recommended.

I picked up a pair of DCM Time Frame 600 a couple weeks ago. Amazing speaker for the price. I have them hooked up to a Kenwood KA8100 in my living room along with a SVS sub. A very fun listen!!!             I'm not Skylab....but I can recommend some HPM 1500 to go with your SX1250...

congrats harrinj...you have quite a nice collection           WOW, that Portland craigslist listing is unbelievable. $800 for an unrestored SA9800 claiming they go for up to $2500 on ebay......Dreamland

  This is what I was thinking. 

Same thing happened to my ultra desktop amp and it simply turned out to need a new fuse.   Good luck!

Well, a local acquaintance has agreed to recap both my SA 9800 and HPM 1500 speakers. Charging me for parts only. I'll have to come up with a way to compensate him for his time. He is very psyched to do the 9800. 

Thanks folks, great info. Probably all basic knowledge to you folks but very helpful to me. I'll get on is asap.   Today my partner and I are switching out elements on a ceramic kiln and replacing an outlet we fried with said kiln. 

The plastic  tabs on the original speaker taps on the G9000 are a bit shot and i have to use a needle tool to lift the metal bar open to inset the speaker wire. Could the original speaker taps be the problem?

Thanks Guys....The HPMs play fine on my 1250 and Kenwoods but go into protection right away on the G9000. Only hooking up one pair of speakers at a time. I did have a powered sub hooked up to the G9000 a while back with some bookshelf speakers.    I did think that the HPMs somehow didn't agree...

Congrats on your daughter getting thru 3 years at U of O. Hope her last one goes well. The dude (can't remember his name at the moment) with all the cl postings has slowed down a bit with the selling. I purchased a turntable from him and a sx 1010. I loaned him my lcd 2 and later my he6. He was...

I'm in Eugene and for general maintenance I go to Jim's Electronics in Eugene. The guy I need to email about a recap of my 9800 is someone I met thru ebay. He works at the U of O and is a hobbyist who has sold many recapped vintage pioneer, sansui and kenwood integrated on ebay. Not sure he will...

Hey Guys,  my sansui G9000 db plays fine with 8 ohm B&W bookshelf speakers but goes into protection with my 6.3 ohm HPM 1500.  Would this simply be a bias and /or dc offset issue or might I be looking at something else? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Yeah, prices have exploded on these and it must be a few rave reviews. I am really curious about getting it restored and comparing it to my higher end restored units. At this point it is not quite on par. But as we all know, comparing restored units to unrestored is not fair....and I really do...

I paid $450 off cl for this 9800 a couple years ago and quite happy to own this piece. Looking to get it restored when finances permit.     I see people trying to get big bucks for these on ebay. In my opinion, sonically, not worth it. Now...A full restore might change my mind

I must finally confess....I have a new piece.   This is my recapped and restored SX1250             It sounds quite good pushing my HPM 1500 ( I don't listen to headphones any more). The bass on the 1250 is a bit ramped up compared to my Kenwood model 600 (which is what I was usually...

That's a beautiful 500c Groucho. Congrats!!! I would love to own one some day....perhaps pushing some Klipsch Cornwall. But I would need a bigger house for that dream to come true.

Thanks Skylab.....I might have to plop down $40 for 'The Passion Play' remix. Sounds extremely tempting.

Right on Skylab!   Hey....Are you pretty much all vinyl and reel? Do you listen to digital at all these days? Just curious.

If any of you vintage heads are into Pink Floyd (post Roger Waters), I would like to recommend 'The Division Bell" download from hdtracks that just became available this week. I think it is worth the upgrade.    Currently listening to the Floyd via Antelope Zodiak > Pioneer SA-9800 (not...

I love the sound of the SX-1010. Mine has been giving me some problems so it is out of rotation. Hope your 1010 gives you many years of musical joy.

 Nothing else in my collection reminds me of the '70's than my SX 1010. Classic vintage sound and beautiful to boot
