God bless you man!  Thanks for the uplifting post!  Glad to hear you're on the mend...............

  And yes, I always have the 'low level' on because you will get a better balance at low listening levels having more freedom of the volume pot. 

LugBug1 my friend, thanks for pointing that out.  I don't have a Vintage amp with a low level option but my HeadAmp GS-1 does have one.  When I read your posting last night, I switched the level to "low" & Low & Behold (no pun intended) : the sound is somewhat better i.e.  the vocals are not so much forward as on the "high" level = better balance indeed.  Well there you go mate : one is never too old to learn something new & helpful.  Merry Christmas Bugman & the very best to you & family.

  A little background:
I used to send a singing voicemail to over 200 people each Christmas.
About 16 months ago, I was rushed to the ER. Doctors doubted my survival.  I spent several days in a coma, then several months in multiple hospitals,  I came home just before Christmas 2013 in a hospital bed.  Due to severe nerve damage and paralysis of my tongue, vocal chords, and stomach, I was  unable to drink, eat, talk, sit, or stand.  I was fed through a feeding tube implanted into my body for many months.
Today, the future looks bright.  I am up and about in a wheelchair and beginning to use a walker and canes  I'm back to rocking the house with my vintage Pioneer 1250SX and Pioneer HPM100s & Snell CIIIs.
God is AWESOME and blessing me every day!.
I made this greeting to wish alll my friends a VERY Merry Christmas!
I hope it brings you a smile in this holiday season.
 
 

 
God is awesome!  I pray He continues to bless your recovery.  Merry Christmas from a fellow SX1250 owner!

First coat of poly done. Then light sanding and final coat and I'm done.

wow the case really looks pretty nice job. I really need to do something for the case on my concept 16.5 it is really looking a bit ratty .
Maybe after Christmas and when I get caught up with my Christmas expenditures.

I noticed that a few of you guys are from NJ. Any advice on a good tech for vintage turntables? I recently hooked up my thorens td 145 and have a very load hum in the right channel. I'm sure its a ground issue, but really don't feel like ripping it apart and resoldering things

  A thorens td 145 I used to own one of those way back when with he isotrack tonearm. It had a interchangeable arm wand tube to facilitate cartridge swapping. That brings back memories.

  So this is so rare I had to post the holy grail of all receivers......................330 wpc - $2995

  You do not see one of these very often. The king of the monster vintage receiver wars. It would be nice to hear what a restored one would sound like.

I noticed that Apple has a new commercial with a vintage Pioneer receiver. I wasn't able to quite make out the model, but I think that it was an sx-xx80 because of the black meters.

SX-780 I think

 

[MattTCG]

Nice find!! Apple needs to step up their game to something like a 1280.

OK, vintage rig complete. Dynaco sca-50 and thorens td-145 rocking an original pressing of John Barleycorn must die with senn hd580's. Good stuff...

Sounds much better than my tube dac and Asgard 2 with my hi rez copy from hdtracks. Not even close really. Sometimes I wonder about hdtracks, because I've got some hi rez albums I ripped myself from DVD audios that sound similar between the 2 systems
