Technics SA-5760 - We need to sit down and talk

[Dingman]

Technics SA-5760, lets talk about appropriate LED color selection. Just because Marantz pulled it off doesn't mean we need to stick blue LED's in every dingin' vintage unit we come across.
Especially this one, look at that beautiful white dial and meters - this unit is screaming for a scuffed soft white IMO. Others colors would work as well, but I've seen enough blue shades for now please. LOL.

I totally agree 100% with you. In fact, I don’t even care for white LED’s. Give me the soft yellow/white color of good old-fashioned incandescent bulbs every time.

If i never saw another blue LED again, that would still be too soon.

^^ Amen.

Hey, it's not purple. Or magenta. Or color changing (has that been done?)

 

[elitopus]

Hey these Altec speakers have color changing lights. Lol.
Maybe they make an equally crappy receiver that has them too.

Hideous, but at least easy to change back on those models.

Agreed, that wouldn't even go into system before the blue was removed.
I noticed one pic in the advert, the table under the unit changed - that's a red flag to me, it may not be an actual picture (the one with the lights out showing the white dial)>

I despise the blue leds on vintage gear.They just don't look right.I equal it to putting 18 and 19 inch wheels on a late 60s musclecar.It just doesn't look right.
