Who to trust when buying vintage ss ?


A co worker wants to start getting into audio. I suggested an harmon kardonn 670 as a starter. Any suggestions for trustworthy online sellers of this sort?

 

Thanks

@tonydennison No. AB.  Pure Class A runs HOT. You don't need or want that. Especially at this low price point. 

Are these Class A?

I agree, Schitt is a good idea. Do they do integrated?

Yes! Look at Ragnarok Integrated Amp $1499 Power Output, Speaker Outputs:
8 Ohms: 60W RMS per channel
4 Ohms: 100W RMS per channel

No way i could have reach Hi-Fi at low cost ( 700 bucks with reparations and dac included few years ago ) with new products on the market...

Then i would have bought in all probabilities under 10,000 dollars of the wrong stuff...Especially the headphones...

What headphone can outshine my K340 and which Amplifier will outshine the Sansui alpha and at what price?

The same reasonnings go with my 50 bucks more than average Mission Cyrus 781...So low in price because the owner did not know if they even worked... 😊

The bonus is before buying you must read and study the vintage products among the other choices... Most people dont do this with new offerings... They succumb to the marketing ...

my grain of salt...

The worst products i bought were all new one...After reading reviews speaking of the new offerings...

With vintage you have tons of USERS reviews...

Very different reviews than reviewers reviews ...😊

New never means better in my book...

Save if you pay a huge amount of money corresponding to TOP product of today which will rival or beat TOP product of yesterday...(it will be true for my amplifiers and for my speakers if you pay a lot of money but good luck to replace the K340 with anything even the costlier headphone )

Ok my grain of salt is already too big for most ...😊

Anyway most people here seems to swim in money sea,and reviewers, sellers and consumers dont like my claim : "audiophile high-End experience for those who lack money "...my claim is a devaluation of their experience or worst  : a lie... But the gear can lie , acoustic never lie ... 😁

I must be an audiophile "provocateur"....
