Anyone into Vintage Audio HiFi?

[MikeGriese]

I agree about the electrostatic speaker sound quality, I had a set of then vintage electrostatic speakers that I bought used and thought I paid too much for them in the eighties but they sounded incredible. They didn't have low bass capability but I had them on a crossover and ran sub woofers in my system which resolved that issue. Then in 89-90 a guy offered me almost three times what I paid for them, I wish I didn't sell them. They are the only speakers I have ever owned that were so clear you could hear on a master recording of Rush 2112 that the waterfall in oracle was synthesized.

You never pay too much, you just buy too early.

New LEDs in the old Marantz. Twenty bucks well spent.

My radio Shack classic receiver is a now a restomod!
When I moved it to the garage, I added added an adapter cable to use my MP3 player and old cell phones with audio jacks as an inputs. It now has a new life and works great.

Went out and picked up a couple bookshelf speakers and hooked them up to this old girl and it still works.
It’s struggling to pick up stations but it sounds good.

Lots of good stuff! I finally got my EQ and DBX hooked up so my system is complete as of now but the EQ is a cheapy and seems to introduce some hiss in the background. I may have to upgrade to something better. I don't really like to use an EQ but I like a little more control over tone than just 2 knobs, LOL!

Nice collection!
I bought a set of 15 inch C-V’s in 92 and I loved those loud speakers.
