Hi from the Virginia highlands. Just got back into audio recently and found his site while googling about a thrift store purchase I made a few days ago. I bought a Sony STR-6065 for the princely sum of $14.00 (!!!) and it is in fantastic condition and now hooked up to an older first generation Pioneer CD player and some JBL LX-44 and Bose 201 Series IV loudspeakers. I could not be happier and feel like I got lucky with this receiver! Great information on this site and I look forward to sharing my experience soon.
