Very retro. Nice setup. :coolyeah:
I like working on the vintage stuff. Most of the stuff out there needs a little something when buying from a regular Joe. Pots need cleaning, capacitors need replacing. Finding replacement hardware can be the biggest headache and sometimes it is possible to find superior components to the originals. Speakers are fun because they can challenge my woodworking skills. There is plenty of helpful people and ideas in these forums who are willing to help out. Plus, there is always the option to customize / experiment / hopefully enhance ones gear. The payoff can be quite gratifying when the heavenly sounds come out.
With the amount of retired people in Hi Fi could a company like a Heath Kit style company make a retro kit and sell enough to make it worth it. It might not be your main system but a small office or den with a tube amp and preamp might be a source of pride if you built it your self. The kit could come with a magnifying glass and we would be golden. Could be sold in a choice of parts quality level A 6,000 dollars level B 4,000 dollars Level C 2,000 dollars all the same just better parts. It would be vintage without the Ebay and the rust the rip offs. Good sounding gear not Soulution level but good sounding with Million dollars worth of pride built in. Would the business model work.
Very nice work cc43fan! How is it sounding?
