Sony STR-AV1070.
When not abused, quite a nice sounding amplifier.
Older Sony gear, like early seventies. Same with H/K.

Realistic, Onkyo, Toshiba, MCS, Superscope, Technics from the 70's.
Sanyo plus series separates. Who would've thought you could use Sanyo and quality in the same sentence?

You can have a very, very respectable system with patience, perseverance, and some luck. These are all great values, commonly show up in the usual places, and go for under a paycheck, in total.

I'd add his Model 5 power amp, too. It's provided power for my main system for about a year. I haven't heard the matching preamp, however.

Realistic STA 2100D. Probably one of the most underrated recievers of all time. Rated at 120WPC from the factory, another web site that sells electronics bench tested one of these at over 170 WPC. 4 TO-3 metal cased output transistors per channel. Decent size filter capacitors and a large power transformer. The reciever weighs in at right around 50 lbs. The one I have has been in my family for almost 30 years, has only been in the shop for service once in its life by me and needed an Amp adjustment and a couple of bulbs. I like them.

70's Rotel separates. I have 3 and cannot believe how good they sound, when tuned to proper spec. The tuner is superb, integrated amp is full, rich and bottomless, and the preamp so smoothe, clear, clean..... and fully SS so it is easy to repair when (and if) anything goes wrong. Not likely.
