WTF are you prattling on about now? I love my Pilot 654 and my Scott
222C. They're far better than anything those companies are currently
producing, as are my Dynaco A-25s.

I grew up listening through my father's 222C.
Endless repititions of the Pet Sounds album,
Four Tops "Reach Out" and the Byrds
"Younger than Yesterday"
Having such a sweet amp helped
instill the joy of music.

My current bedroom unit is a 299D

What are you running it through? And what are you running through it?

I use an old Denon DCD-615 that I picked up for $20. The A-25s sound
good too. I paid $10 for them. The 222c was $60. I also have an old
Thorens TT that was $30. So for less than the cost of an "all-in-one"
system I have a fun bedroom system.

((In lieu of US 7189s, which are going for $30-40 each on eBay, I run
6P14P-ER from old Soviet military stock in the 222c. I got them for $5/
each. They're rated for 10,000 hours just like the old Mullard 10M player
series. They have higher ratings than the 7189. And they sound great
even though they were made by Slavs. Shhhh!))
