I believe it's having a time of it's life since this is the only chance to have his cones massaged by the purest watts of a marantz 8. The rest of it's blood brothers with me will just have to contend themselves with a marantz 8 wannabe (pilot sa-260).
Any new observations with regards to the team-up?
ichabod wrote:Yup, I have some dream list of my own too. THe AP55 from SC would be one. MOno amps and they're rare and sell high too on ebay. How about ampex amps, any experience with them? There's one that Dan Hayes of Washington own and I wonder if Dan had the amp going? Maybe we can hear from him. It's similar to the size of the pilot but uses another tube.
POsting any amp anyway with the LS should widen the variety of amps that can match with the LS.
odaey wrote:Yes, the fisher 400cx2 preamp together with the pilot 216 has been on my wish list for quite some time now. I was dreaming of teaming either of them up with my small tube based cabinet system consisting of a scott 350b tuner, an eico hf-85 preamp and a pilot 232. It would seem practical to use the pilot 232 in a cabinet system since it gives off less heat, small size and its auto bias. That's how it started it's life anyway since my 232 was pulled out of a stereo console.
I still remember your advice about the fisher 400 series preamps but they're not easy to find and not cheap
ichabod wrote:Dan, so you sent the amp to Cebu. A Pilot SA232 look a like this ampex. Our friend is mum about it. All seem busy pursuing our own little big things. See YOU summer next year. Once a year get together listening, not bad! I'm off to Siquijor this week. Hopefully some nice shots to bring back home. Ah! Those beaches in bleach white. You should visit it and go scuba at Apo Island.

Am enjoying the Harbeth LS3/5A with the Eico HF-60 using KT-77 tubes. Much better than EL-34's IMO.

Thank you so much for a great time, Doc! It was a real privillege to have the opportunity to spend time and listen to your great collection of vintage gear!
Aside from the rare chance to see all those LS3/5as in one place, I really must say that the match between the Pilot el34 amp and the acoustic research pre-amp was breath taking for me!
Doc what was the model of that pair of Spemdor's that we listened to last of all?
Thank you so much for your family's warm hospitality and for sharing your collection with me!
