Hmmm... wanted to hear about the Teac cassette deck (center shelf, top right) 
Otherwise - nice vid, quite the collection you have there. Favorite piece is the Kenwood KR 9050, I'll never forget seeing and hearing one in a local audio store way back when.

What an impressive collection you have, my dude! Honestly, I had no idea what I thought you looked like (mind's eye, and all that) but I'd say you're doing well, and seem healthy.
Thanks for sharing this, and best wishes!

Congratulations and beautiful collection! I like that you enjoy the accessories as much as me, EQ's, reverb, DBX, oh yea most stink but they still look cool lit up along with the stack. While your racking scares me a little, I just bought the more heavy duty black a-la-carte stuff from Menards, I love the wood stained back panel, great idea, I might steal that.

Why does it scare you? Each shelf can hold 400lbs.

I just worry about shelves falling or collapsing, I tend to go overboard with my equipment racking. Some of my shelves have three units stacked up x2 for 4' wide and x3 for 6' wide, the weight adds up fast. I just built a monster rack wall 6'H x 10'W with the black Menards a-la-carte and have no worries about tipping or collapsing.
I do want to dress it up and I love the fusion of wood and metal, with the racking notches, it's easy to attach wood panels to "dress" it up. The nice thing is they can all connect for a long wall and the heights are very easy to change, plus Menards also sells desks, cabinets and other options that easy clip into place.
I just watched the ending and RJ (the next guy) has shelves similar to mine, you can see how versatile they are. Grand Rapids, I used to love going to Wind, Waves and Wheels Skateboard Park up there.

So you sold the bearded dude a nice little Sansui comparator.
As Crocodile Dundee said: That's not a comparator- that's a (my) comparator.
The virtually unobtanium Yamaha is the one you want. Can't recall the model number. It is three pieces, with a cool Nixie tube remote display, connected via an umbilical and has individual speaker level controls to level match all ten pairs.

Back in the early 90s, I'd get given that job- the speaker/amp/CD player demo room took me a bit over half a day, including cutting all the new wires, wiring all the speakers into wall mounted aluminium slide covered conduits at floor and shelf levels, along with the display unit.
But that was retail. The shelves were powered and you could get wires/cables easily behind the shelves.
The Technics (like yours perhaps) has the facility to have lights on each speaker and each source/amp to show what is selected- I never bothered with that.
Post a pic when it's all wired up again.

Cool collection!
Nice collection Dave. There are two gigantic concessions in that compliment. I have never been a receiver guy nor do I aspire to collecting. Being more a "One System" guy.
I loved your collection. After hanging around here for 23 years, I know about all the good receivers. You might not have them all but the ones you have carefully bought, selected, are great receivers. Throw in a handy cross-section of speaker design divergence. Where widly different design philosophies have each produced an excellent end result. They all sound totally different and all sound great in their own way.
I love your receiver collection and your other choices. Is everything Solid State? No tubes?

Thanks,not all receivers though, I've got 3 sets of separates.After I got all the SS gear I wanted I ran out of room.There's still a few pieces I had left out but never got around to tubes.
