I bought a house from an engineer who briefly worked at AR in the sixties. He left a bunch of stuff in the attic including some eico el84 "integrated monoblocks" an eico tuner with a cats eye rectifier and a bag of vintage tubes. Also some open back Tannoy Reds with deteriorated surroundd but he came back for those. The amps sounded great with some old Cornwalls
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
Yes, the CJ ART, various Audio Research were all great...but I do remember lower priced items that gave much pleasure for their price.
In no order, The Large Advent, DQ-10, Nakamichi SR receivers, inexpensive Nordost cables, many tuners giving good vibes vis "FREE" music. Also, in a different way, the Nakamichi TM radios and SoundSpace systems.
There was a solid state ARC pre that was very good....ls-12?
And I do remember "free" listening at some friends homes/systems that were great values. I was exceedingly lucky to have a best friend that bought most of my gear when I was "moving on". It gave me the chance to listen to what I had had compared to what I currently had....at least once what I had sold to him was better than what my replacement gear was...........the old "live and learn".
