In the past I have had a Yamaha CR-640, Technics SA-5150, and Sansui 350A. I really enjoyed both the Yammy and the Sansui. But currently I...

    Older Audio Equipment

    I have a Sony STR-v2 and was just wondering what does everyone use for an audio stand? I've looked at newer ones but I assume that my old receiver won't fit, along with a lot of other vintage receivers. What are you all using?

    Audio dropping out intermittently - Marantz Integrated amps, Preamps from 1970-198x

    This will be the 3rd Marantz time I've had this problem on personal units. If you have something similar happening when playing your unit and it is driving you nuts you are not alone. It seems like a simple issue at first glance. You're thinking it stems from a dirty switch, push button or...

    Pioneer sx-1000TW VS Pioneer sx-6000 ?

    What would the main differences in sound be between these two receivers? I currently own an Sx-6000. I really like the warm sound I get from it, combined with my Fisher XP7 speakers. There is an Sx-1000TW for sale that the owner says sounds almost like a tube amp. It's been recently...
