Nice collection. I always wanted to add one of those to my ES collection. 
The real hoarder is a Dr. in Edmonton who uses TA-N77ES amps to drive his 7.1 system. All in mono with a few spares hanging around. Last time had contact with him he had ten (10) of them. Very musical amp. Probably Sony's best sounding bipolar Class A/B amp.
Here are couple of pic's of my matching ST-A6B & TA-F6B.

Certified Crazy.
I'm pretty jealous that you've found an ST-A6B tuner!! I've got my TA-F6B paired up with a Kenwood KT-7550, and if that's not music to my ears, I don't know what is.
Love it!
Love it!

Yeah..........but attaching yourself to the ceiling to be in a proper listening postion for that speaker location has to be a pain. And, no one listens to mono these days.
That system(s) deserves some SS-M9 speakers.

Hey Gerchy,
very nice ES collection you have and congratulations for your very very nice (and stylish) Sony ES homepage.
All:
Just tried my newly acquired TA-P9000ES pre amplifier last weekend and what can I say:
This is absolutely amazing
:drool:, the most transparent active pre amplifier I had in my system so far and the first time I don't want to go back to my passive pre (volume attenuator) again.
I had the following pre amplifiers recently in my current 3way active setup: TA-E86, TA-E88, TA-E901, TA-E900, Diatone DA-P20 and Technics SU-A200.
All of them have their individual merits (some especially related to MM/MC, what the P9000ES lacks), but none of these was as transparent with Line sources as the passive pre to date.
On a very first glance the TA-P9000ES sounds as transparent as the passive pre and on top of that allows some neat features like remote control, gain and source switching (purism is sometimes quite painful ...).
The chain I auditioned was the following:
SCD-777ES (modified) or PS-X9
|
V
TA-P9000ES
|
V
TA-D88 active crossover (3way)
|
V
Pioneer M-22 (treble)
Yamaha MX-10000 (mid)
Sony TA-N901 (bass)

Since the TA-P9000ES is a pre amp with six identical channels, it could even be used behind (!!) the TA-D88 crossover, a setup which from a pure technical standpoint easily has the potential to be almost as transparent as "nothing", which is less than a passive pre ... I'll try this exotic mode of operation soon.

Awesome collection...but I agree, you need to push some SS-m9 speakers instead of those JBLs (yeah, like I wouldn't want those JBLs, too...nice). Great website, too.
That's a very interesting idea.Report-back your findings if and when you try that experiment. :thmbsp:

STR-11L from '78. My father's first stereo that's moved down a generation. It's nice-looking and nice-sounding, but unfortunately the tuner is quite bad
It works great as long as you stick to mono, any stereo channel just ends up in hissy, distorted garbage.

My TA4650 (below it is a JE330 minidisc). What do people use to polish the front plate of their vintage Sony amps (something that won't harm the graphics)?
Love that ES display. Several years ago I had a chance to buy a mint ES receiver for $390 at a pawn shop, they didn't know what they had. I could kick myself now for not doing so.
