Soon to be at Casa De La stu, well after Stephen picks it up in LA and plays with it for awhile, thanks Stephen for everything!! He said he'll loan me a Jeff Rowland high current amp to compare my new baby with, just for slaps and giggles. What fun that's gonna be!

I talked with the seller this afternoon, nice feller, retired SAE marketing rep from back in the day. He and Stephen may have crossed paths before, small world. I'm sure they'll have a wonderful meeting!

I think I got a hellova deal, it's very nice cosmetically, was probably barely used in a overkill system.

Glad to see things came together.....so he's loaning a Rowland?? Too bad the SS400 isn't there....I'd like to see how it would do on the slabs...

I had that one on my watch list to see how much it fetched...

WOW! What a beauty! Congrats on the win!

One bid Stuwee sniped it at the last minute...

Nice score Craig. I've never heard this amp before but from what I've read it's quite the beast. Damn - a new kick ass amp and speaks - you're rocking dude!

Looks like you'll need a new circuit breaker to go with it...

One bid Stuwee sniped it at the last minute...

Don't blame him a bit. I've sniped a few times myself...

Congrats! I hope it exceeds your expectations.

Thanks my friends, I have been blessed lately and I am extremely grateful !! Having gone through not listening to music for many months I'm getting my groove back

At 80lbs and underside vents, it can't sit on the ceramic vase footers I have it's little brother on see pics in the Martin Logan Summit thread. I'm thinking a nice slab of marble on some spikes. Maybe Stephen has something I could buy off him? Haha on the circuit breaker!! I must talk to the landlord, I like the amp near the speakers and right now the right Summit is plugged into the same outlet as the big screen/DVD player. That shouldn't be an issue but, using that amp on the same power strip will not do

Speaker cables will need upgrading as well, I'm waiting to hear back from a ML forum member who offered some ZU Audio Jullians, Gortez M2, and something called 'anti-cables' that might be custom for me to test out. I'm not a big cable freak but know you can't send that much power down the line to such amazing speakers without some serious cord!

Thanks again my fellow audio fiends , much love, the stumiester

 

[Fairchild]

Yeah Craig!

 

[laatsch55]

When is Stephen gonna fetch?

 

[stuwee]

Thanks Jim, but have you heard that SAE is back? http://hear-sae.com/products/sae-2hp/

2 horsepower, made in the USA, James is gone...R.I.P. Brother!!

See that little amp on the floor on the left ? the A202 drives me nuts, it just loves to please like a puppy, I have the peak meters on steady and no sign/sound of clipping nasties!

 

[laatsch55]

That's a bad mo-fo. ....

 

[stuwee]

When is Stephen gonna fetch?

I'm still waiting to hear back from him, I'm sure he'll call me soon today, he had to check on some stuff with work. The seller understands it might be a couple of days, no worries...

 

[stuwee]

That's a bad mo-fo. ....

And his big bro is a knock your dick upside your Mo Fo head till you say "Thank you Sir, may I have another"

Look at the difference between the 1001 and the D-500 of PL's. Both are advertised at 500wpc into 8 . Looking at the construction of each amp it's pretty easy to see which one is the better amp. Different set of bean counters for sho. ....

 

[laatsch55]

Did my package make it?

 

[Web Police]

Nice amp Craig. You are gonna make old James get up and rock!

 

[Elite-ist]

Congratulations on your new amp purchase, Craig. I didn't know SAE built power amps that big, but I certainly like what you've bought.
