We're running a turntable, receiver, and speakers older than I am, with a newer Sony CD player and Yamaha tape player.

I'm using the Kef 104/2 loudspeakers that I bought back in '85 for $3,750, and they still sound amazing being driven by the Carver M-1.0t amp I bought at the same time. Since then I've been through a few pre-amps.

Turntables and tube amps provide the best sound, but don't try to explain it to anyone. Save your breath.

Still running a Technics amp, tape deck and turntable I bought new in the FRG in 81. Broke down and upgraded the orginal speakers (Bose 601's) to 901's back in 91 while overseas again.

I was using a set of Acoustic Research AR2AXs speakers that I bought in 1972 until recently when I blew out the tweeter.

I've got three Crown DC-300A amps in my main listening system, fed from a Crown IC-150A preamp.
Not old, Vintage.

I've got a G6000 that looks virtually identical to yours - found it at a thrift store for $60. Although it violates my Mandatary Blackout Sliderule Dial rule, it was just too purdy to resist... Physically, they're bigger than the typical Marantz or Pioneer receiver of similar power - guess they needed extra room inside for all that "Pure Power"!

Still got my old Pioneer SX-636. Works like a champ, no need to upgrade.

Oh please, forgive me! I broke my mom's Marantz 2245 two weeks ago. I fucked up one of the knobs. I don't think I can replace it. I broke the balance knob, now sound only comes from one speaker. I'm planning on taking it apart and figuring out if I can put a rheostat on the thing or a resistor or something to just make it work again. It sounds so much better than the JVC thing I replaced it with. My mom couldn't tell the difference!
I broke it while trying to remove the face plate to fix the power button. ETA: If anyone knows where one could purchase a new balance knob assembly for a 2245 (or similar model), feel free to PM me! |

Currently, I am using a Kenwood KR-V126R a/v receiver. Bought it in Germany in 1987. It still sounds incredible, although the Dolby is the first version. It has 2 outputs, but the signal is the same.

This one has the gen-u-ine leather covering on it. They're just great radios, though!

We had one of those TV/turntable deals also. It was Zenith - I can't remember if it had a radio.
The TV shit the bed, and it got moved to the garage, destined for the dump. I was 16, had just bought my own car, and just bought a Rotel receiver and speakers - IIRC from Radio Shack - and ran out of $$ for the turntable. Parents said "Go ahead," so I removed the turntable from that Zenith, and built a box for it, and figured out how to make it work (electricity). That was in 1973. I used that damn thing until the fall of 1976. IIRC, the turntable arm's head looked like a snake - it had was white, and kinda shaped like a snake's head and had two black dots on either side of it - looked like snake eyes. |

I'm not sure how this compares, but I think it's got to be close. I've got two of these to refurbish in the near future for my stereophonic musical enjoyment: 1958ish - 1962ish Heathkit AA-91 55 watt single channel tube amp.    Kent |

That Magnavox doesn't have a TV in it. Those doors on the front are fake!  The radio and turntable work great, though. I need to find a needle for it, though. The old one plumb wore out. |

I got one of these, but most of the front panel controls are skrewed. From years of bad treatment by a family member who it was "lent" to, just say no
 . I need to get around to fixing it up, it still sounds great.

Picky, picky. When I post my results in 6 months I'll get 6 calls of dupe and IBTL's since it was already dicussed tonight. I'm actually using this homebuilt tube powered creation, but its guitar equipment not Hi-Fi  and only a few months old. (I just have to get out of guitar mode.)

kent, nice, very nice. your AA-91 is from roughly the same timeframe as my Dyna ST35. at the time, the ST35 set the standard for value-priced "audiophile" grade amplifiers. the designers at Dyna took great pains to design and manufacture the ST35 output transformer -- the result of which is beautiful sound. www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/dynaco-st35_e.html home.indy.net/~gregdunn/dynaco/components/ST35/ ar-jedi |
