Power, power, power, clean and detailed, bass to spare, hardly breathes to bring concert level sound. Milspec, built, i love it. I was second owner, it arrived kinda beaten up, but it still sounded great, so i kept it. Use it in my vinyl rig, with a 5.1 set up for SACDs and DVD/Blu-ray concerts using a vintage Yamaha flagship for the center and rear channels and balance the two amps by ear.
Audio Research PH 3 (upgraded) Phono pre-amp
Vintage tubes, lovely sound for my vintage system. Connected to my KW500 with Tara Labs 0.8 interconnects.
Clearaudio Anniversary
Clearaudio 25th Anniversary Turntable with TT2 Tangential tone arm with the first generation of Clearaudio Goldfinger Cart. The synergy is gorgeous.
Vienna Acoustics Beethovens and Mozarts
Beethovens give musical, detailed sound as my main speakers with Mozarts as my surround speakers. Connected with vintage MIT- 750 speaker cables. Sound is impressive for the price point. A-rated sounding amp, turntable, and phono pre with B-rated speakers. Still good enough to being me to tears with a well-produced album.
FYI….Lots of audio gear lasts 50+ years. Very few other consumer products can make the same claim, with a little maintenance, if needed? Talk about a great value over time. Enjoy!!
