    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?

    No affiliation, they may be flexible on price. Found on letgo app. Just visiting the KC area from Oregon and was checking out the deals. I am not sure what the going rate is, but looks like they sell for more on the bay. May be worth someone’s time.
