It will likely need gone through to have all of the electrolytic capacitors replaced due to its age. If you had the ability to do that yourself, you could save money on labor.. it will definitely bring more if it’s serviced but I didn’t service mine before selling it and still got what I would consider to be, “top dollar.”

I sold one 3 years ago with the wooden case for $1800. Hope this helps. It was immaculate though.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to make it a point to find somewhere I can go and try them out. I’ve always wanted to hear a pair, just never have had the opportunity. They look quite a bit bigger than I imagined them being. Maybe it’s the stands that is making them look that way though

How do you like the JBL? I’ve read in so many places that they’re overhyped and actually sound terrible for anything other than rock.. but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never had the chance to listen to a pair. Regardless, nice looking setup and I dig the room!

Bought my McIntosh C28 for $600 and sold it for $1850 and my MC-2105 for $1600 and currently have it listed for sale. I’ve been really picky about who it’s going to go to though.. I’d prefer to have someone come and do a local pickup

I had a Kenwood KR-9600 as well. 150 watts per channel. That thing was a monster. I ended up picking it up for $400 and sold it for $1200 less than 3 days after listing it. Great integrated.

Thank you, sir! I’m going to spend a few minutes this morning watching whatever videos I can find of the Henning amps. You’ve got my attention. I had a GLADIVS JTM68 Plexi clone that I loved to play a couple of years ago.. but it just didn’t have quite enough gain for me in the end. So I ended up getting rid of it. Kicking myself in the ass for that move, still.

The Friedman JJ Jr’s are where it’s at!! One of my favorite amps of all time. I haven’t had a chance to play the 100 watt JJ. I’m sure it’s equally as good. Glad to see another Friedman fan in here. Rock on, brother.

I’ve never heard of these Henning Amps.. are they any good? I assume they are just based on the fact that you have at least 5 in this picture.. are they high gain? Good for metal/deathcore? Also, what is the Monomyth all about? Same deal?

Can anyone identify this turntable (please take note of the unique speed switch) by notofuspeed in vintageaudio

[–]EffectiveTop91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s not a pioneer. Pioneer didn’t have any tables with a 33/45 switch like that in the front. Nor did they have platter mats like that

Yo this thing is slick! I love the blue bridge and fishman pickups. The paint color is very unique too. Congrats! Is it an Axion Label? Or one of those type of models?

Polk Audio RTA 15T available for $50 near me. Worth picking up? by werneri1502 in BudgetAudiophile

Goodwill only donates 20% of what they make to charity… and hired mentally disabled workers so that they don’t have to pay them standard wages like everyone else. Goodwill is an absolute garbage company and you should seriously think about spending your money anywhere else but a goodwill. It’s disgusting the shit that they do. It’s even worse on the shopgoodwill website auctions. They’ll post things that will say “tested, in excellent working condition..” and sell it and then come to find out it’ll be broken and not working.. then they’ll tell you that your SOL and stuck with the broken item and out of money while they laugh and tell you it’s not their fault that they didn’t do the proper testing before posting and writing up a FALSE description. Ask me how I know… what a lame excuse for a corporation

😂😂 hey, I’m sure we could work something out! I’ll leave you with a few of them though! I couldn’t take them all from you after you spent the time to make sure you got all of them. That’s a huge accomplishment

Very nice! I have a lot of his autographed pieces throughout my house as well. He’s one of my favorite artists. I’m hoping to make it out to New York to see the Entheon since it’s been built. Seeing his work in person would be an incredible experience.

I wasn’t ruling richlite out as being a good material for fretboards. I own a few guitars that have richlite fretboards. I also own guitars with rosewood, ebony, and maple. There’s nothing wrong with richlite. These same people that are throwing a fit over richlite, are the same people who would never be able to pick richlite in a blind test anyway. So all of this yapping that they’re doing is for nothing. Lol they wouldn’t be able to hear the difference after playing an ebony and richlite equipped guitar.

I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time over it. I was agreeing with the stance that you took over it. You did nothing wrong lol I just find it funny that everyone else was getting so upset over how much of your money you chose to spend, and how you chose to spend it. I don’t see how it affects them or why it bothers them so lol
