I found them y’all. 1969 Klipschorns in oiled walnut. With the paperwork. In fine working condition! I tested em with a McIntosh 4100 I also got ☠️. It’s like heaven. It cost money but I think I got it at 25%...or a 75% discount.1mo ⋅ cdub_synth ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile

Amazon wanted $30+ for a pair of speaker stands that only serve to angle your speakers up a few degrees... so I bought a $5 five-pack of non-slip door stops instead... it's working great!1yr ⋅ Citrusface ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile

So much satisfaction restoring vintage Hi-Fi gear to its former glory. This was my sixth Marantz 6300 turntable and re-veneered it with burled walnut, replaced the dust cover, and installed stainless feet. Also did a complete recap and DeoxIT job.2yr ⋅ einstein8124U ⋅ r/BudgetAudiophile

Talked with my wife yesterday morning about how I'd like to put together a classic-style home audio system. Last night I took a walk after dinner and found my first two components on the sidewalk: an Audiolab 8000A amplifier and an Onkyo C-7030 CD player.
