    Avalon Acoustics

    I'm curious to see that list of Avalons you've owned. I'm going on my second pair with an Indra-D that I'm eagerly awaiting. My current ones are "vintage" Arcus. Although Neil told me not to use the term vintage -- use the term "Classic." The first pair I ever heard were the Ascent running...

    OLD JFRD amps for mid/hi

    It can't have been that long. I refuse to believe it. :) You make really good points. Someone earlier in this thread recommended replacing caps. I'm wondering if I should or if I should leave well enough alone.

    OLD JFRD amps for mid/hi

    I love my Model 5... and I've toyed with the idea of sending it back for upgrades. I called once to ask about price and was told (by Jeff) that there were just too many versions of the 5 (and a 6 month wait) to give me any kind of realistic estimate. Anyone who has been through this process...
