Wow, Melvin...wonder how far up the audiophile ranking you'd go with all your vintage gear! Welcome aboard.

YES we should all meet there, and we should all be well armed, and with a BIG truck.
I have DIBS on the utopia grands , the watt puppies, and anything with mark levinson
stamped on it

I'll take the Guy R. Fountaine Autographs Corner cabinets with Tannoy reds. They are in the first photgraph. Those are very rare and very expensive. I've heard another form of GRF cabinets with the reds and they sound awesome, especially for voice.

By the way, I don;t get some of the jealous comments that followed the article. Some people need to get a life...

Very very nice system Melvin. Your system is almost the same as my friends. He has three pairs of Hartsfields and 4 Marantz 7cs. He also has two 8bs with gold Lion tubes. Also the Mc 275, 240, 225 and 60. I've had the pleasure to listen to his system on many occasions and my question as to why he would collect several of the same thing was answered. Each of the Hartsfields sound slightly different although all sound fantastic, and same goes for the 7cs. Much respect to you, I know your system sounds great because I've heard one just like it...

By the way, have you heard the Jensen Imperials?
