Lou was also a Ham operator. That was where I got my start in ham radio.
he was a wonderful guy and I would go over there for hours and hang out with him. He had a garage and back room FILLEDDDDDDDDDD with tubed stereos that people were just getting rid of. He was a fun and interesting guy that dies all too suddenly.
His widow offered me a pile of audio gear that today would have paid for my entire house!!!!
Wonderful guys Al and Lou and I think of Lou often.
Just wish I would have taken at least one of those Marantz's.

Did Lou have Marantz tube gear as well? Al had the Marantz 9s,the 7C,and the Scott 4310..The speakers he had were the Quad ESL63s.All this stuff he bought new but he also had some Rogers LS5s and he was driving those with a Denon Integrated amp..That's how I met him because high end audio store in our town whom I was friends with,told me to go up there and help him hook it up..From then on,I had the grandpa I never had.

Yes it was ALL tube gear. He had shelves and shelves filed with stereos and tubes. At the time I was lusting after a Marantz 2230. So the Marantz logo always popped out at me. The model numbers???? But there were several Marantz's of various types. I know there were several amps and most definitely a few preamps. The preamps were very noticeable because of the look of them.
I'm sure he also had to other goodies like Citations and Fishers, etc.....
Funny but I don't remember much in the way of speakers????
