Vintage Gear, Talkin' about a bargain

Talkin' about a bargain! It's fascinating to me how easy it was for our custom department (Jim & Tom) to build such a widely known reputation for exceeding customer expectations not just in service and support, but product quality vs price. And it’s this steadfast ideal which became the model for the Hi-Fi shoppe. For instance, though our retail shoppe is only months old we’ve already won a surprising amount of customers from our competitors who were astonished by how much more performance they got for the same dollar on receivers, speakers, subwoofers, and turntables. But some of the best bargains in my opinion have to be our used gear! As we accept trades for new, we’ve acquired some fabulous vintage pieces. One couple was blown away by the nice little system they were able to assemble for just $250.00 bucks, which included a receiver, CD player and speakers. So the other day, I was tinkering around in the Loft (display location for the vintage gear) and was able to put together not just a nice little stereo system, but a kick ass audiophile system, which would rival anything today! A Sansui CA2000 Preamplifier, InterM R500 Power Amp, Denon DV3910 all format player, Triad Monitor Speakers, and a Mirage Powered Sub. Nearly every component returned a 5 star customer review when “googled”. To assemble an equivalent system new, you’d have to lay out about $7500.00! vs the paltry $1705.00 the vintage system costs here! The heart of this ultimate vintage system would give even the most discerning audiophile no excuse to ever upgrade. As the CA2000 provides an amazing assortment of controls, inputs and outputs, while staying true to its super wide frequency response of 10hz – 80 khz w/less than .03THD. And the R500 is a super cool running 250WPC power house capable of driving even the most demanding electro-stats. So whenever one might want to upgrade the speakers or anything else, the heart of this system would easily stay the course... Smokin’ Hott Deal!!!
