    I'm curious and not very tube system enlightened. Please list your top three "affordable" tube receivers available now. Say under $600? Thanks in advance.

    Speakers?

    I'm new to tube. I bought a old Heathkit. I overlooked the 9 watt output. I have no speakers that don't need more. Can anyone suggest good sounding speakers that won't break my bank. Wouldn't take much. Thanks all. ✌️

    In the ballpark?

    I'm new to tube equipment. So new I bought my first tube amp and tuner. They've already been paid for and should be arriving any day now. The seller jumped on my first offer. Which makes me wonder how much I may have been off. A heathkit aa-32 and a aj-63. They were asking $600. I offered $475...

    Realistic sta-2100d

    I saw an original ad for this piece that stated it was made in radio shacks own factory?! Is this so or just advertising? Of true where was this factory? If not so then who made it for them. Any opinions on its quality? Thank you all in advance. Just thinking about another addition to the hoard.

    Rs-2010-5

    Is anyone familiar? I've had one mixed in with a few recievers in storage I haven't looked at in years. I don't remember ever putting it on the bench èven. If anyone has any ends for the sliders or some that would just fit let me know. I'm sure we could work something out. I've seen a couple...

    Realistic Sta-2270

    I only have one realistic reciever. Only tried it cause it's Japanese made and was a freebie. It blew my mind. I never gave realistic a thought. Which is weird as I have a few house brands I've bought not cause they were good but just maybe might be the only one left and a little strange...

    Nikko nr-519

    Considering buying one to precondition. I've heard only good things but one thing about it is a violation of the "where it's made matters" rule I have. I believe it was built in Taiwan. Any input? What should I expect to find inside?

    Seems so simple

    I recently purchased a beautiful rs-2007. Not thinking I hurried to set it up. As I pushed the tab to insert the wire it snapped. I have run into this before so I should have known. I do not have a replacement and cant find one .I thought about "borrowing" one from another receiver but the two...

    Olson ra-803

    Anyone have any info for this tuner? I'm looking at one but there is such limited data (absolutely none) for this model. I can see a cpl of other Olson tuners that people say are their fave but that's it. Is the ra-803 just a tuner and how is it really?

    Hard to find used tt's

    I have a couple decent turntables but I've stopped purchasing them online. There condition is almost always misrepresented. Goodwill and eBay are the worst. They rarely even work at all. It's got old.

    allied

    I picked up an allied 333. Radio works and sounds fine but aux is not clear. It sounds like if you were listening to a radio and the station isnt tuned in all the way. This is the first I have run into this. I hooked up a cd player to aux. Any ideas?
