North East Ontario - Onkyo TX-6500 - $20

[eddantes]

Oh for the love of Pete! Why does all this good stuff have to be so far away!

Any AKers out east: looks like an Onkyo TX-6500 going for a princely sum of $20!

"Road Trip"!

Thanks for the tip!

100W @ $20 - Definitely needs to be brought to attention. Hope you get it!

hey rushfan, you listening to that Onkyo yet?

No way would I sell my Onkyo TX-6500 for $20. I'v had mine since new and that's a stupid low price for such a nice receiver.

Oh boy!

hey rushfan, you listening to that Onkyo yet?

I'm this close to bringing her home! A colleague from work has agreed to Pony Express the receiver to me in a couple of weeks. She lives um... 125 miles closer to it than me, LOL!

Believe it or not, it won't go down as my best score ever but you guys have got me excited about it for sure. I'm buying it to listen to, not to flip. :yes:

 

[eddantes]

I love my TX-2500... I would think the 6500 rawks!

 

[grillebilly]

you will find lots of love for that model here at AK. It's a keeper, esp if you play records. Congratulations!!! :thmbsp:

Congrats Rushfan: looks like a real beauty!

 

[rushfan]

Eddantes, you were right. It is a TX-6500 MKII!!

Right now it is sitting in the back of my colleague's SUV. She'll bring it to me next week when she visits the city. I can hardly wait.

I downloaded the SM and had a look at the specifications. 87dB S/N ratio in a phono section is good, is it not?

I'm glad to have helped! You owe us pics and listening impressions !

You can count on a review in the near future!

It's here!

Good Karma today! The Onkyo has arrived at last.

Definitely my largest receiver. She's going to need a good scrubbing, inside and out. I'm a little surprised at the lack of power meters, but loving the dual phono inputs.

Sorry, no pics yet. I'll snap a few tomorrow.

eddantes - thanks again for tip! That was a classy thing to do.

Congratulations.

Bummer. The receiver powers up but there's no sound, at least through the headphone jack.

I tried all of the obvious stuff - pulling the amp/pre-amp jumpers, checking the fuse at the back, cycling through the different input selectors. It's dead silent.

All but two lights are burned-out too. No big deal at this point.

Does this thing have a relay? There's no click when I turn it on.

How about the fuses inside?

Bummer. I hope there is some simple fix like fuses inside ti check and replace. Good luck.
