| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear Older stuff will eventually need new capacitors at a minimum as those all have a shelf life. I found a guy locally who recapped the Marantz 1060 and the Sansui for about $150 for both pieces... excellent sound with a 70s flavor at song, and probab... | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear I’ve recently purchased a Marantz 1060 w/ a 112 tuner for $350. Warm, lush, rolled off in the highs... sounds lovely. The last word in Hi-Fi? No. But pretty looking w a phono input. I also bought an old Sansui au-217 for $100. Better frequency res... | |

| Green Mountain Audio Chroma HX Review I just received my GMA Chromas today.... I also just spent the entire weekend at the RMAF hearing big buck systems. I must say, the GMA's have absolutely won me over. The imaging, precision, and lack of effort to play musically is absolutely capti... | |
