The Vool Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Latest hardware purchase (a few months ago): Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro (250 ohm) Although I don't really like the gleamy grey ear-pad, I love these headphones! The sound and it's wearing comfort are superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpingBean Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just pulled the trigger on a mint condition McIntosh C712 preamp to match my MC7150 amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just pulled the trigger on a mint condition McIntosh C712 preamp to match my MC7150 amp. I've always liked the way McIntosh equipment looks, never owned any as it's very rare over here but it's always on my to do list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpingBean Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've come to see Mac equipment kind of like BMW cars. It's not the last word in anything, but it's great at almost everything and sexy to boot. There's far higher end pieces than Mac, but it's kinda one of those "I've arrived" things.

Well I'll have to push them up the list then, you're talking to a man who thinks BMW stopped making cars around 1988 when everyone else jumped on the band wagon, I collect old BMW's as well.

roygbiv Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Welcome to the Pink club, like the sound? Love it, tested it out before purchase and against the VPI Classic 1 it was the clear winner, one very happy camper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think even with their high prices, modern Mac equipment is a steal for their value considering how pricey the upper-echelon has become. Yeah sure a new Mac amp will cost you 5 grand, but if you compare that to the type of stuff that's written up in Stereophile, it will seem like chump change. I personally think Mac has a very high price-performance ratio in both new and vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I picked up a Technics SL-D202 for my father today. He has been wanting to get back into vinyl and this sounds like a decent TT for him to get started with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbrew22 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just ordered the Marantz PM5004 - can't wait for this to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just ordered the Marantz PM5004 - can't wait for this to come in. Can I ask where you ordered from and what you paid? Most places are selling the PM6004 for the same price due to the newer model being released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered it new off of ebay for $360, if I didn't get that deal I probably would have gone with a Yamaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 as long as you didn't pay the $450 most places are asking for, it's not too bad. for a while the PM6004 was going for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alburrito Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just ordered the Marantz PM5004 - can't wait for this to come in. I picked this up today at bestbuy for 150. They had it on clearance. Extremely YMMV I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time trying to link a pic I checked over the phone but they said that none of the stores reported any in stock and to order it would be $450, and there were no open box items. Oh well, thanks for the info! Bought a pair of Blumenstein Orca's (older style with recessed driver) for a second setup downstairs! Very excited...there is so much heart and soul in single driver, crossoverless speakers: Wow those are nice! I love the design, so simple!
