Pictures of exclusive and cheap hifi equipment, and everything in between...

[P-pan]

A while ago we had a similar thread but it seems to have disappeared into the shadows.
I contributed a bit to that thread so to avoid having that work completely undone I'm starting a new thread and posting the pictures again as I find them on my computer, there will be other new pictures too I hope.

The more people who can contribute with pictures, as long as the pictures are your own which is probably stated in the forum rules,
the more fun the thread will be I hope
So don't be shy, just join in.

Since I was not born with English as my native language my spelling may be a bit backwards, when or if I have to write, so please bear with me.

A Brinkmann Bardo from slightly different angles...





...and of course with the associated power supply RöNt II

I'm adding some more "replay pictures".
You've probably seen them before I guess.

I'd like to know what you mean by "cheap hifi equipment".
What I see in the photos is not cheap hifi.

 

[P-pan]

The idea was that whoever posts the pictures simply gets to decide for themselves what they want to show.
New, used, vintage, expensive, cheap, trade shows, retailer demos, private listening rooms...

Some manufacturers get more attention than others and Gryphon is not completely unknown, I guess.

I really like the looks of Esoteric Audio Research products.

Here's something to match with...

I love the Gryphon remotes, such a cool industrial design.

Nothing too exclusive here. The VanAlstine DVA600 monoblocks aren't seen to often and are quite cheap, and the VTL tl6.5 series ii preamp isn't very common either.

Esoteric, the word that can refer to something that is mysterious, secret, difficult to understand or just downright lovely to listen to

Nice photos and good looking gear, P-pan. Thank you for starting the thread.

Thanks Peter, glad you appreciate it.

More pictures...













This is something that @struts should recognize as he was one of the enthusiasts who made sure there was a small "can-jam" in Stockholm-Sweden quite a few years ago.
I think I have more pictures of other gadgets from that occasion that I can show eventually.

@DasguteOhr, looks like you've cracked the secret code to gold.
Can I have a copy of the recipe?

The Alchemist reminds me a bit of the Musical Fidelity Nuvista M-3
