I use a Kenwood C2 pre and M2A power-amp, the C2 is completely over-worked with new, better and capped op-amps, etc.
The M2A need some replacement parts, but I have to import them from the US, postage is expensive an then customs and tax. -.-
It's cheaper to buy a new power amp...

Nice job OD and those pads look super comfy

Trip down memory lane. Kit back then sounded so good. I wasn't into audio in those days.

You got that right. You all should add your thoughts to the vintage integrated / receiver thread.

They really are, most comfortable pad I've ever used. I had them custom made by Vesper Audio, all alcantara with memory foam.

I'll have to do that sometime myself SB, have had many vintage gears pass through the Ponderosa over the years and tons of friends still running theirs as well

Ha, Pod's been hooked since he was a 10 year old boy! Older brother was Huey mechanic in the Army (Marshal Islands) and when he upgraded his stereo system in 1968 my hand-me-down was a Grundig Short Wave tube receiver w/matching two ways (10" Sub & 3/4 paper cone tweets), my parents took me to a local repair/used gear shop and the guy sold me a Dual 1249 table with a V15 on it and he put a matching DIN cord on it to work with the Grundig. I remember the first record album (Every Picture Tells A Story) I ever bought myself with my own money summer of 1971 like it was yesterday!

You remember 1971 like yesterday? Damn, I can't remember last week

I know Midg, I've actually been cursed with this crazy visual memory. Numbers are the worst, Co-workers always rib me because once I work with numbers they come back just like that and I'd rather be a ding bat like my wife where I can't remember where I laid/left my keys 5 minutes ago As Tennessee would say "Bless her pea pickin' heart"

I can remember up to 1974 then it gets a bit cloudy

Close! It's the HiFiMan HE-560 v2 headband. Adorama has/had them for $9.99. I bought 2, lol.

EDIT. It's still there for $9.99

Thought it looked familiar, just that it was orange instead of the silver that I thought it was for the Sundara.

Those purchases were parts costing less than the threshold for qualifying audio items; you're probably still only at 3 pieces of audio gear purchased so far this year . I'm sure if we say it enough, we can convince everyone it's true

Ah, my Jr. year of HS. Come to think of it I did have a few cloudy incidents but obviously no long term damage Doh, then again
