The Technics is fine. I have it boxed up in the walk-in closet here in the library. The closet is what amounts to our basement I just wanted to give it a rest and conversely give the Sony some exercise. The Sony STR-AV900 is a very nice unit in my opinion. Always had a soft spot fir it's built in EQ and dancing blue lights.
The plan is to bring the Technics back out on Christmas Day. I do miss it a lot.
What a great idea. Man, Santa Claus is smart. Wisdom beyond his years.
