Since you are busy, perhaps you might have a suggestion or two for a cheap to make line amp using k216 and j79? I have two pairs of each as NOS. [I had a German really glitzy red plexiglas boxed pre which used these and it would drive my then speakers by itself...........(they were Impulse H1 horns)!

c2c.............Please save yourself the trouble of writing..............someone else has offered to 'dispose' of them safely- in the best green approved manner!:D:D

Those devices are to modern for me - need stuff with 2N numberz....:D:D:D
 
The (2S)J79s must be Irish as they are encased in green plastic! The Irish use a lot of it to make cheap moulded leprachauns and shamrock etc. to sell at rip-off prices from American tourists......................... they can't resist that sh*te.;)

:D:D:D

Also got two pairs of K226.................same applies c2c.

A set of audio cables that go for $3500 bucks for 2 meters. :eek:

YAMAMURA 6000 CABLES SPEAKERS, SPADES, 8 FTS | Speaker | AudiogoN - The High-end Audio Community

I don't think that model iz made anymore - most likely have upgraded to even more advanced (read expensive) units.

Perhaps Brian can help out - he iz a big fan of Mr. Yamamura.... :D

If you avoid CAT5 and such cables it is possible to make interconnect, digital, loudspeaker, USB and mains cables yourself for a very low cost.
However some work hours are required, but with superb results in fidelity.
