I missed a G33K locally for $1800 about a year ago. That still burns me when I think about it.
That's the same model beast that Silent One just sold.........a second sighting and a rare one at that. $1795 sounds reasonable all things considered.

Hey, I am wondering if you guys could help me with out with a couple of short questions:
1. I've read that replacing all electrolytic capacitors is absolutely essential on any vintage amp. What are the effects of doing so to the sound? And, what are the risks of not replacing them?
2. Do I have to replace the power supply of my vintage amp simply as a matter of age?
3. If anyone here is familiar with vintage NAD amplifiers, are you only supposed to bring the volume knob to 12 o'clock? After which it begins to distort? Or, is that actually a problem with the age of the amp rather than the inherent design?
Thank you guys so much! I don't even want to listen to my vintage amp because I feel like it will explode if I don't get some repairs done .

I just had a bad thought... I wonder how much bass this receiver could push into my xb500... I get the feeling this is something I should most likely not find out.
Not possible... those donuts could resurrect you with their holy taste alone. If I lived closer... I'd probably be doing horrible things to feed my inevitable addiction to them right now. Sorry if that sounds weird, guys. I'm just saying... don't knock 'em 'till you've tried 'em!
But yeah... you should do that with the XB's and the paper test!
I've been to hundreds of garage sales and this is the first time I've found any vintage audio! A little deoxit, some LEDs and now she's looking good.
