It has been a good audio hunting day for me today. Went to the local record store that also sells used audio gear, and picked up a few pieces.
First, a Yamaha CR-2020 receiver in amazing shape complete with wood case. Can't wait to bring that down and play around with it.
Price...$149 (has been around going rate on ebay lately, I think it is undervalued at that price) I think it rates in at about 100 wpc RMS. Anyone have any other info or thoughts about this?
Second, a Kenwood KT-8300 tuner. If you know kenwood tuners you probably have heard about this Great shape. I think I'll hang on to my KT-7500 and stick this one on ebay.
Price....$69! Price on ebay has been around 220$ or so lately so I will be putting it up on the bay to pay for the cr-2020
We stopped by goodwill afterwards on a lark and there were a few turntables there, but nothing to write home about. I was about to leave and saw a little kid picking up a pair of headphones that looked pretty nice. He threw them down and I ran up and checked them out. Some Audio Technica ATH-5's...have never heard of them but had heard of the brand and they seemed very well made. So, picked em up.
Price....$1! Anyone have any info on these? They sound awesome, but I've never had a good set of cans. I would appreciate any info because I cannot find squat on the net!
Thanks in advance
Anyone else get new gear this weekend?
