Technics SA 600 (purchased new)
Yamaha CR 1040 (recent purchase)
Was going to sell the Technics, but I very much still like it. Just ordered new bulbs for Yamaha from David. Also ordered DeOxit, Tunerlube and Gold to clean switches and pots.
I purchased from original owner who is downsizing. I’m still playing with it. I like it, but am not blown away. The bulbs are though! Looks like you have LED’s. I was orig going to buy new Yamaha 801, but this 1040 came along in a pkg deal.I just bought a 1040 also. I am pretty impressed with the power and sound. How do you like yours?

I like your lamp display and can’t wait to get mine installed. Agree on the difficulty of reading the display from above and don’t believe the cabinet is solid wood. This said,it is a solid heavy unit and overall has a nice appearance. They are prone to output issues and certain parts are no longer available but it is built like a tank compared to my Technics. Also like your Realistic component! I have a small equalizer that despite missing a button or two, still works perfectly.No, they are the old incandescent lamps.
I like the ice cold clarity of the 1040. I have put several different speakers on it and loved all but one.
The only thing I dont like about it the small fonts on the face that are hard to read from above. The case should be nicer but the damn thing brings it.

Hi, I wanted to contribute to this post as others have done and in my collection I have the following....
Marantz;
2230 Restored. is one of my favorites when pre is hooked up to main from the 2285
2252B Restored. Very nice sounding.
2265B Restored
2285 Partially restored.
Yamaha;
CR420
Luxman;
L-30 upgraded Hilberink. My favorite!
R1040
R800 Restored. Very nice sound.
Pioneer;
SX 727 being shipped here!
SX 750 Partially restored. Very nice tuner section.
SX 880 Partially restored.
JVC;
AX 50 Restored. Childhood amp and very nice sounding unit.
Philips;
AH 578 Partially restored.
I built the rack and it is on wheels and has about 450 pounds on it right now, also all the loudspeakers on the pic are self built and designed to match several of the receivers and all working.
I use all of them and have switch boxes to choose whatever I am in the mood of listening to at that moment.
I really like the l-30 as my favorite but the 2230 is a close second, depends on what I want to listen to for music, that will select the receiver.
The Pioneer SX 750 is very nice as well and excellent to use in combination with internet New age music channels.
Welcome to the posting side of AK.Just purchased a Fisher 400. I'm new to tube receivers and was wondering where you ground your turntable? Thanks
