For the 6BQ5 or the 6CG7?

I had to go look at this. There is a store in a mall in Dewitt NY that is
selling vintage audio gear. They had some nice gear from the past but the
prices were a bit high for most of it. Kind of strange seeing gear that I
had dealt with years ago. They had a few tube amps on hand. Sort of weird
though, they had a nice set of Cerwin Vega D series being fed through a
Macintosh amp. The source was an I-Pod!!!

Note that it's a *McIntosh*, not a *Macintosh*.


Shades of me yout! My friend in Phoenix, AZ had a Marantz turntable,
Marantz 4000 Quad preamp (OhMyBuddha, what a treat!) and a McIntosh
amp which fed through Boze 901s and 301s. We rocked the **** outta
that apartment complex. Girls came for miles to listen to it and fall
under our spells. The 4000 removed all the hiss, crackles, scratches,
and pops from those old vinyl records. I almost came the first time I
heard an album through it. g I'm pleasantly surprised that
McIntosh still makes the Mc275!

through which we preview and hear a stereophile preamp, huh?)

Also back in the '70s was my sister's boyfriend's (lead guitar) bass
player, Dave Lines, who started Allied Sound and Lighting in
Oceanside, CA. He had strung together a pair of mono-clamped Phase
Linear 700Bs and let them sing through 4 Voice of the Theater speakers
(with JBL rather than Altec Lansing speakers). I had earplugs and
earmuffs on and could stand in that converted hangar and feel every
note go right through my body.

There is quite an industry in finding older audio gear and shipping it
to places like Vietnam and other turd world ********s. The Party
people are buying it like crazy.

A Vietnamese friend of mine has been going around and buying up a lot
of tube amps and speaker systems and putting it all in good working
order and then when he can fill a seatrain...shipping it off. Making a
decent living at it as well.

I helped him unload a U-haul trailer full of it he had bought from a
"collector" for $8k. Stuff Id not seen in 30 yrs and Thau was
laughing like a bandit because he would profit some $30k from it after
expenses.

Ive had little use for high end audio equipment due to hearing loss
issues..I simply cant hear the "good notes" and havent for almost 40
yrs.

Anyone want a Roberts 771 tape deck? Got one out in one of the sheds.
No idea if it works or not..but it did when I put it up.
It has the cover..and the seperate speakers which button up to the box

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
