Which should I trade for?

[JiveTurkey]

LX has been on the block for a little bit. GREAT piece, don't use it. I got a trade offer for a 5150 combo in great shape (that I would assume is a plus cash on) or a Single Rectifier that would probably be straight across. I need neither; but both are obviously in my wheel house. I kinda feel like I should complete the trio, even though the 5150 combo is not the same as the OG head.


Thoughts? I legitmately (almost) haven't made up my mind. Yet

 

[la szum]

Neither. Wait it out for some superior options.

We'll see what dude says. I do want a real 5150 again; but the combo is not that itch scratcher

 

[JiveTurkey]

Negotiations ensuing...

I'm fine with nothing happening. This is the first nibble. I don't want to futz with Reverb at all. My idea of superior options at this point is so dang weird it's not even funny

 

[sleewell]

the combo is like 500 bucks tops, plus i prolly wouldnt want move it around much hahaha

yall said single rectos werent loud enough so thats a no.


i would also hold out for somethin better.

Right now, the combos are non-existant on the used market. And it would ABSOLUTELY stay home lol

I did give you that same Single Rec advice a month ago

Yeah. I had one before. Tone is definitely in the preamp in this one Dude is sending 5150 pics this evening and is down for a plus cash. We'll see what I think here in a few hours.

This. The 5150 combo is ungodly large and heavy. You could pay me $500 to take it and I'd say no.

I've owned every version of the Recto from the Rev F to the current Reissue and the Single was my least favorite. I don't get why it has such a cult following lately. I couldn't get rid of that thing fast enough.

I looked at used prices on it and the few I saw at GC were like $1300? I got mine for like $8-850 here a few years back?

 

[TSJMajesty]

yup

And Triple is 150 watts, right?

But doesn't "double" mean it has 2 ways of rectification, tube & diode?
Which the triple also has...

 

[MirrorProfiles]

neither.

wait for one of the ones you actually want.

If i do get the 5150; I'll whip up a thread asking how to take the back off

 

[sleewell]

there was def a lot of lore in the hcaf days about how the combo sounded better and threads about chopping the speaker section off hahaha. good times.

I'd say yes, walk out the door and just leave the amp there. Nice easy money that.
