I have that AA32... what a jem! Looks only a mother could love but midrange to die for and fun punchy bass.
Tubes are pricey but have a stash from way back, so I should be good for a while.

Lokie, that AA32 had all new orange caps in it and the controls and switches have never made a pop. It was a lucky find and put the myth of the passive preamp to rest for me. My father had built one long ago and I remember listening to Light My Fire when it just came out. I got it hooked up to a pair of home made Weems pipes with the added woomp of a Parts Express Titanic 12 inch sub. Got my Danish Vifa co-ax's for 25 bucks, close out. Take care Lokie.....I painted that flag on because I'm half Danish and I had some Frog tape and some extra time....Mark Korda

Here's the amp Lokie. I like to keep my sound room interesting....I live in a single wide trailer home...Mark
and interesting.
And real and comfy looking.
Mentioned in previous threads, I really dig your rural/aqua inspired audio equipment cases.

Hi Musetap, thanks.Once again I apologize for the extra pictures.One thing I found out with these cases that the old weathered DownEast effect will cover up an unimportant key to sound......like an abraded on/off switch lettering that has worn off.It might add to the effect(visual) and calm the phobia that Monk has,you would have to have watched that show to get it.Sometimes I look at these systems pictures and it looks like the operating room in the Exorcist or they have their huge amps way off the wall and sitting on the floor.Where do you sit to enjoy some tunes?, in the kitchen? Take care Musetap...you the man!...Mark Korda
of a small flat in SF, where we've been a LONG time.
Comfortable to be surrounded by stuff you love - books, records,
CDs, art and CATS and finding the right audio equipment to fit the
room so IT is the sweet spot. Listening to music should be part of
life, not a process separate from it.
(Have been in proper listening rooms that were rather sterile and the
sound was great, but lacking... luster, depth... meaning)
There are some pics in my photo gallery/profile.
Can crank the system to fill the whole place with gorgeous sound too.
Just bought a used pair of Reference 3A DeCapo to do so with too.
Life is GOOD, GOOD, GOOD!
We are Blessed.
Thanks Mark!

Hi Musetap, your comments were a real pick me up,thanks.Here is the other side with my cat Jack on my grand ma's chair,a Sou'wester on a hunk of drift wood on milk case shelves with stereo mags. My buddy threw out a nice piano stool next to my aquarium/ terrium I've had for well over 50 years.Theres other weird stuff if you blow up the picture....thanks again..Mark K.

Tre', I got everything together to restore some Dyna PAM's but I'll never find a PS-1.I could prolly build one if I could track down every part but then I found these the AA-60 mono preamps with a power supply and an alligator skin.They got cool feet too.....nothing to do with the sound but they look real solid....Mark
