Re: Mac Mc-275 vs. Marantz 8B vs. Dynaco Stereo 70

Visitor, why spend damn near 2 grand for a sonic replica, when you can get that added pride-of-ownership value an original bestows? Got two Peavey Transformer 112 guitar amps in da arsenal, which digitally model a 50s Fender Bassman, 60s Marshall Bluesbreaker, 60s Fender Blackface Twin, 70s Canefront Boogie Mark I, & Vox AC 30 Top Boost amps, amongst other tones! One of them Peaveys is loaded with a hemp-reconed Celestion Vintage 30, which elicits alnico-alchemized tube warmth da stock Eminence speaker couldn't; da other 112 has a hemp-reconed Mesa Boogie Black Shadow deliverin' Electro-Voiced clarity through Celestion craftmanship. Both 112s are sonically robust, & well under that 2 G price point; thus this hipster can live comfortably with their inherent limitations! 2 G's, though, might git moi one of them aforementioned classics! Though it's been known to happen in hi-fi occasionally, re-creations shouldn't out-price originals!!!
