The stereo equipment in the SubBase barracks at Pearl was awesome. Among other things it was the first and only place I ever saw a Nakamichi Dragon, and in 1984 that was the schnizzle. Because we didn’t have a dispersing office on the boat single enlisted guys could get 6 mo advance pay just before we left on WestPac. That did result in some large one time purchases.

I understood that pricing on the hi-fi gear was about the same as todays "industry accommodation" pricing of about 50% off list with base prices that would drop even lower upon model changeovers. What else were you going to spend your money on?

I have been in a couple of friend's houses (medical officers) that had spare rooms piled to the ceilings with hundreds of pieces of vintage "Nam" era hi-fi gear. Some receivers weighed about a 100lbs. I have never seen so many reel to reel decks in my life. They were slowly being refurbed and sold off at stupid prices. This was 15 years ago.

Buying them cheap is long gone.

Nice Cutlass!

What is in the actual stupid shit do you mean?

FIFY.

How do you figure there are less music choices today. Did your cassette player eat one of your tapes or what?

Fewer "good" music choices. I'm not talking "quantity." I'm talking "quality."

I never quite grew out of that phase. Thankfully, I have a very tolerant wife.

Love Mac
Back in late 60's some guy convinced me to trade out all my tube stuff for transistorized stuff. Ugh!

Ummmmm, you still have the same old choices as well as new choices. Making new music does not make old music magically disappear.

Not saying it does. I'm just saying that the new stuff coming out now is not as good as the old stuff. Therefore, fewer "new" things to like, given all the newer things coming out, now.

Nah, that won’t be any trouble for anyone who still drinks that shit

I never was into boats, although I do appreciate them. Cars, motorcycles, audio, and firearms have been my jam for a long time.

McIntosh C1100 tube preamp with McIntosh solid state 1.2KW mono amps running Wilson Audio Alexia II speakers. The KW’s are most likely an updated 1250? Music source is a Linn Klimax DS streamer.

The 1250's are MB1.25KWs. I'm getting a feel that you have the previous version the 1.2s. I have never been introduced formerly to quality streamers but I will be doing so.

I hate to admit but I need several relatives, somewhat rich ones, to will their estates to me, simultaneously, to be able to afford the Wilsons. I could get 2 hand built, concours condition, Mercedes Benz's for that kind of cash. I'd get more "grin" out of them.

I see lots of other goodies too. sound processor, preamp? Pics of cabling?

Nice snapper

I'm in that boat too. 1 of those Wilson's goes for almost twice what I paid for my first house 30 years ago.
