Advent 300 receiver and a vintage morning

[RichPA]

Picked up an Advent 300 receiver at the Fest (thanks, djnagle!), and have it hooked up to an AR-XB and Dynaco A25s. I'm remembering why I liked this gear so much 30 years ago! Pics later.

Very nice receiver, Rich, enjoy! One of the things I like about it is that its looks belie it's capabilities.

That receiver is one great little piece... Enjoy!

I was wondering where that wound up.
Didn't Terry Dewickt go through that one???
I think Grumpy was saying what a nice phono stage it had in it.

Congrats!!

Sounds like a cool set. I am looking forward to your pics!

A week late, but here's a pic. Lurking behind is a Dynaco ST-35 amp - I'll soon by trying the Advent as a preamp for this amp, driving Dynaco A25s.

Makes a great preamp. I paired mine with a Hafler DH200 for many years.

Have the Power and Stereo indicator LEDs been changed out for a different colour than red? Or is that just camera flash?

Cool unit -- some good stuff behind that humble facade.

Power indicator is green, stereo indicator is blue on this one. I bought this at the Fest - it had been gone over by Terry Dewick, and sounds great.
