Here’s my current systems:
Living room: Oppo BDP-95, Dual 1249 with Stanton 681EE, Snell Type CV speakers, a pair of McIntosh MC30s, Scott 296, McIntosh MX110 / McIntosh MC275, a pair of Pilot HF-56 mono receivers, an NAD pre-amp and Acurus A250 power-amp for movies, and a McIntosh 2155 driving JBL L830s in the kitchen / dining room. (That’s a 1938 Philco 38-690 sitting between the speakers.) http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psgnx66ghn.jpg TV room: The source is an Oppo BDP-105. The speakers are Klipsch Palladium P-37Fs. The amps are Scott 399, Fisher 800B, Kenwood KR-9050, Pioneer SX-1980, Fisher X-1000, Scott 299C, McIntosh MC240, and an NAD C375BEE. The tube amps are for music. The solid state amps are for movies. At the bottom of the shelves, the patch panel allows me to connect the speakers to whichever amp I want, and two ganged Niles AXP-1 RCA selector switches connect the Oppo to the amp. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psa73acf48.jpg Office: Oppo DV-980H, JBL L880s, Fisher 500C, Scott 299B, Altec 353A. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psklx00gh9.jpg Basement: Oppo DV-980H SACD/CD/DVD, Klipsch RF-7s, Scott 272, Inspire “Fire Bottle” SE Stereo Tube Amplifier HO, Scott 222C, McIntosh MX110Z, Fisher KX-200, Marantz 2325 solid state receiver, Pilot SA-260, Scott 210F (mono), Fisher TA 500 (mono), Scott LK150. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psg0gcvxz0.jpg Bedroom: Fisher TA 500 (AM/FM mono receiver) driving a Klipsch WF-35.

Love the Pioneer SX-1980, I had one myself. Great gear all around, thanks for sharing!
|
Nice classic gear!
|
Very nice systems and a great collection of classic gear.

Robert.......Very eclectic collection of vintage gear among other things. I particularly like the old Scott tuner and the Fisher receiver and integrated amps in this photo. Thanks for letting us peek.

Robert, I'm drooling ! Thanks for sharing, love the old Philco, my grandfather had one very similar to yours, he would tell me of listening to FDR's 'fireside chats' on it. Sadly we did not keep it .....

Thanks for the nice compliments everyone!

At any rate, the old radios are interesting, and many are works of art. (I can’t take credit for restoring them.) I have all five of the Philco “High Fidelity” radios, 1936 – 38. The pic above shows my 1938 Philco 38-690. Here’s my 1937 Philco 37-690: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps3175576b.jpg Plus I have some beautiful Zeniths, an E.H. Scott, and others. Here’s an unusual one – my Stewart Warner “Painted Lady”: http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psed04cf42.jpg I have a radio or piece of hi-fi equipment from every decade from the 1920’s to present. The sound quality of consumer audio products jumped significantly in the 1950s (e.g., McIntosh MC30), but IMO nothing beats the beauty of some of the 1930s radios. |
P.S. I haven't gotten through all of the posts of AA members' systems - but I'm working on it. There are some amazing systems posted here! AA is a great place to visit.

again Robert, thanks for posting the 'memories' !
