charlesphoto Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Early to mid-Seventies Naim NAP CB (chrome bumper) 160 BD (bolt down top case vs later sleeve design). Considered by some to be Naim's most musical amp, picked this beauty up for $460 last month and still sounding incredibly sublime after all of these years.

Popular Post charlesphoto Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 This was my first, a Kenwood 9050 receiver. No idea how I convinced my Mom to buy that for a sixteen year old in 1980. Speakerlabs, I think, 16ga lamp wire of course. It sure lit up cool! Most of the buttons and dials just made things sound worse. And man it could play loud! And for many years that was the whole idea... No idea what happened to it (busted, discarded?) but now super rare and worth $$.
