Hello Everyone. My name is Chris. I found your site while researching vintage receivers and promptly joined. I'm 33 years old, and from 1975-1991 my Father was the manager of various stereo stores. I grew up with high end audio equipment at the house all my life. When I got to be driving age, I stuck a ton of money into my car audio habit and largely ignored home systems because of living in apartments and what not.
Now I have a beautiful home in Central Minnesota and am getting serious about having a vintage system. Currently I run a newer Onkyo receiver to a pair of Cerwin Vega RE30s. The only thing hooked up to it is my computer - with a serious library of music. I'm putting together pieces to make an old school system that will probably blow my "new" one away, and thought I'd join up and read about all the gear others on this site have.
I'm a guitar player, and even though my Les Paul through my Marshall stack sounds sweet, I long for hearing a great home stereo system with Eddie Van Halen playing his instead.

Cheers

Very cool. Thanks for saying hi everyone. I like the post about "what you got and what you looking for". I'm sure that happens often. I've been on the hunt for a 70's model Toshiba SA-775 or SA-7100 receiver. They're out there, but it's more of a matter of waiting for the right deal. I had one of those in my bedroom when I was a kid, and I always thought they looked pretty cool with the drop front panel.
I picked up a Pioneer PL-5 turn table because I started framing old LP's and hanging them on the wall.. Figured, why not have art you can listen to?
It's very interesting reading the posts I've found here. Seems to be a very bright group of people that are involved with rebuilds and fixing broken equipment. Almost gives me the courage to do it just seeing someone else.
