    Building a retro system for my mancave....(influence welcome)

    I spied with m little eye this decent piece on craigs. I haven't decided on speakers as of yet, so any input or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I also need a little help find a nice vinyl rotation device. I may just go new school on that.

    Please help! Audiophile newbie in the makes. Even pointing me in the right direction of a good audiophile site would be great.

    Cheers,

    AJ

    P.S. These speakers may be in the mix... http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/1755464809.html

    Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
    Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
    Lobsterbacks attack the town again
    Wrap all my things in aluminum
    Beams of darkness streak across the sky
    Pink rays from the ancient satellite
    Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
    Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

    I still get newsletters from hometheaterforum, might want to check them out.

    I've still got some bitchin' JBLs for the living room out here, but my receiver took a dump awhile ago. I've got to see if I can CL something up.

      Ooh today I found a kickass Harman Kardon 330C amplifier on CL. For $100! It is awesome, and I will have it in about 2 weeks.

        That is some "loud" marble.

          sweet. I have an hk 50+ in my garage. it was a great garage radio til the right speaker outputs took a dump. I wish I knew how to fix that thing.

            Yeah actually better yet, I found a bunch of cheaper ones on eBay. I will be buying the earlier generation one for $60 with shipping. They are a beauty, and supposedly sound as close to a tube as you can get with a SS.

            330b is a tad different - http://vintageelectronics.betamaxcol...model330b.html

              You can't beat a home made tube amp for the true retro feel and true audiophile sound. Once you get into that then you might consider making your own speakers too. I guess it is a bit like building a megasquirt, you still have to learn a lot of tuning theory to pull it off.

              As far as a turntable, a solid reliable technics direct drive is the way to go. There are some pretty good diy audio forums out there.

                  Glad to see that there are a few other audiophiles around. I just picked up a pair of Klipsch La Scala's to pair with my McIntosh MC-30 amps w/ a nice preamp and a Rega-P1 turntable. The sound quality is AMAZING.
