I just sold a mint perfect D-150 a few months ago on audiogon. I will say people weren't jumping at it as I expected. Person who bought it could not believe condition. Cleaned and replaced power caps by ARC. he bought my sp-10 mint perfect also.
Killed me to sell my vintage system but am getting physically challenged to fiddle with equipment. So one system is enough. getting harder to play records. my have to sell TT etc. before long. The D-150 was a great listen. Had last pair made of D-76A's driving maggies years ago. wish i still had those. I see i need to update my sig. been awhile since i have been on forums.

Hifi Sand ,
Same situation as you I seldom listen to my vintage system as well ( ARC SP10MK2 , a Pair of newly recapped D79B’s . EC21 tube electronic crossover and the Magnepan MG3A ( factory rebuilt 10 years ago ) . Although I listen to them once in a while , I used my ARC REF 40 Anniversary Linestage and REF Phono 2SE instead of the SP10 . As good as the SP10 back in the day it’s resolution is not as good as these modern Preamps . And there’s a remote control as well . When these modern line/Phonostage are matched w/ the vintage amps , they no longer sound vintage and has a higher resolution but it still has a musical midrange , but the bass is tauter and the high’s are more extended . tdh888 |
