I like this thread because most people just look at me like I'm nuts when I start talking about the stuff I've bought.

Pioneer Sound Project 300 at Goodwill for $3.99. Works great but the FM is really quiet and stereo mode doesn't kick in. AM and AUX works great. This has to be the smallest Pioneer receiver I've seen @ 7WPC. I had to scrounge around for a pair of small speakers to use with it because everything else I have is too power hungry.

A few months ago, I did score a Marantz Model 1060 integrated amp - very good condition. $5

I need help!!! Is their a Thrift Store Anonymous? Visiting the daughter in Nicholasville, KY. Made the rounds of the GW's in the area. Found a Denon DRA-685 for $11.50. Couldn't leave it there. It's hiding from the wife in the car. Will sneak it in Monday night while she is at a meeting. Not really vintage as only 4 years old. info. here:-

I have one with the companion distinctive orange/black grilled real walnut veneered CS-R300 speakers my little bro bought new in ca '74. I call them the little JBL wanna-beez cuz of the sharp look and the sound and are they ever built! Even at the entry level the Pioneer stuff was nicer than one could expect for the price.

California Audio Labs Icon MK2. This higher-end CDP was buried beneath a stack of BPC at a Value Village the other day. No remote. Read the positive reviews on-line. MSRP: $995.00. Playing some John Coltrane discs as I write. Full-bodied sound if I may say so...
