Just (back) in A great Power & Preamp combo. "Back in the day" when you walked in to a Stereo Shop, you were greeted with shelves full of shiny silver receivers. Those of us who new better, walked right past those shelves to the Back Room, where gear like this was displayed :)
Both of these were sold to a customer/friend who recently downsized, and were traded in for something that works better for him now.
The Pre-Amp is a Yamaha C-85. It was serviced about a year and a half ago by a Tampa Area tech. It was re-capped where needed including the hard to find main PS caps, and a few transistors were replaced as needed, It is a fantastic sounding piece, priced at $350.
The Power-Amp is a Sony ES-330, the ES series is known to compete with some of the best gear made. This is a low use piece, in excellent original condition, priced at $250.
This combo plays well together and sounds insanely good. $500 keeps them together and is truly an audio bargain.
Of course I have plenty of speakers & turntables to choose from if you need a complete setup. Feel free to pop in and give them a listen!
