Duallyman 18 Posted July 19 Author Posted July 19 Not sure if I m doing this right but here goes! Yes I have a c-1 pre amp purchased new in the 80’s, a TX-11a tuner, and two M-1.0t amplifiers. All purchased new in 80’s. A few days ago I purchased an SD/A 390t reference tube cd changer from eBay. My nakamichi rx-505 is currently being serviced by a local retired sound engineer. Henk audio and video. My speakers are pioneer S1010’s which were refoamed last year by Finn Henk at Henk audio and video. To sum it up all of my equipment except the cd changer were purchased new at about the same time in the 80’s. 9 1

Receiver2000 4,014 Posted July 19 Posted July 19 Welcome!!!! Great to have you with us. You have some nice equipment!!!
Duallyman 18 Posted July 19 Author Posted July 19 Thank you. When my wife and I moved to where we are now, about 20years ago, my stereo equipment got delegated to the basement. I never spent much time down there so it was used very little. My wife passed about a year and a half ago from a long bout with stage 4 colon cancer. So I decided I would move my stereo equipment back up to the living room to take my mind off things a bit. When I did I discovered the nakamichi wouldn’t play at all, so it’s in for service. And the foaming was gone from the s1010 woofers. So they went in as well. I have the s1010’s back, still waiting on the nak. I would like to have all of my equipment recapped and whatever with Bill d upgrades or whatever is available. If my local guy is too busy or doesn’t want to do it I would like to try Nelion ( not sure of spelling) I have read they are very good. I have an issue with my preamp not being able to advance the volume more than a hair without being so loud you can’t stand it. Carver says you should be in the 12 o’clock range, I can’t get anywhere near there. Sorry for being so wordy, thanks for listening. 3
Receiver2000 4,014 Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Sorry to hear about your wife and hope that you are doing OK. Also hope that you get your gear back up to speed - you will really enjoy it. When my kids were in school i took a hiatus from my equipment for a few years because if I wasn't working, I was coaching and had no time of my own so I get it.
Half Life 610 Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Welcome from VA! Enjoy your stay! You've got some nice stereo gear there!

Many of on this site have similar gear we've collected (you'll hear about OCCD: Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder ), but a lot fewer of us can say we are the original owner of most of our gear. Pretty cool.
