Do I get a finder's fee if I find it for you?
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

I had an Aragon 4004 for a few weeks. If you're after that cold sound with a dark background, it might be your animal.

Good luck with your search!

Man, I wish I saw this earlier. I just traded a Krell KAV 2250 away. I do, however have something quite new and exciting. I will send you a photo through email. It sounds frickin' incredible.

Put the star of david on slim as well! 

It needs to be one of those two,  the damping factor and other characteristics seem to suit the infinity woofer coffins in biamp duty Aragon 4004 ideally.   

If you know of any av locally let me know.

Thanks,

Pepe

I remember that Aragon pre/amp combo that Tom had at the shop a few years ago.  Sounded like ass.  I think that's Deek's new goal, get the worse sounding system by spending the most amount of money.   :laugh:

2 months old. If it's still around, it could probably be had for $400... if they are willing to ship it.

Ok  - the Orlando amp is still available,  but it feels a bit dicey to send money that far away w no info on the seller.  Another amp that seems to work with these speakers if the Hafler D-500.  Any leads on that amp would be appreciated.

And to prove to Rev I am willing to do work I will write it and post it myself:

I hope my self awareness calms you down.

The D-500 is an awesome amp. Loads of clean, great sounding power for a great price.

The ones I was referring to are the ASL Hurricane DT Amplifiers which have been modded.  They have an incredibly sweet and tuby sound which is very different than other Antique Sound Lab amplifiers I have heard.  This is probably due to having 0 global feedback.  For the first time in my life I have a plethora of big amps, 3 different pairs of tube amps that each put 200+ watts out at 8 ohms... Anyone want to take a pair of these off my hands?  ;)  The Golden Tube SE 100 x 2 and Antique Sound Lab Hurricanes possibly for sale.  PM for more information.  I will probably make a new thread about that eventually.
