The other half of my recent vintage stereo purchase arrived today, and all I can say is, "Wow!"
I haven't done any cleanup on it yet because it was only delivered this morning and I rushed home at lunch to hook it up, but it—like the amplifier—is about as close to mint as you're going to find for a 45 year old piece of gear. Unlike the amp however, it was packed properly to ensure it made it across country in perfect condition. Why the seller packed one (the heavier one!) like crap and the other so perfectly is a mystery I may never unravel.
In my brief listening session at lunch, I can attest to everything good I've read about the T-1, and since—with retirement looming—this is in all likelihood going to be my last stereo purchase, I'm more convinced than ever I made the right choice with these pieces.
