I've only heard of turntables that could move to specific tracks. Thanks for showing me one! What a clever machine. Like yours, my LaserDisc player still works; my collection is much smaller, but it's still entertaining. Used to have an RT-909, but I made the mistake of fretting about the tape noise. Used a dbx-224, but the pumping and breathing were very distracting on quiet music. It might have been nice on heavy metal, but I never cared for that. Always wanted an outboard Dolby C noise reducer for the reel-to-reel, but I didn't find one. I have to admit, though, the slow spinning of the reels kept me hypnotised. Still have a cassette deck on which I occasionally play my 40+ year-old tapes. I've had to change the rubber belts in it a few times over the decades. I like your collection of equipment; this is my first visit to your channel. Continue enjoying your hi-fi! Aloha.
The RT-909 is a lovely machine, I tend not to get to caught up in seeking amazing quality out of old analogue gear more just enjoy it for what it is and the novelty of it still working and or repairing it to working condition. I always enjoy listening to music on my Hi-Fi not using music to listen to my Hi-Fi !!
@@Vintage-Tech Indeed! These are lessons I have learnt over the years. So happy to be out of the rat race to "improve" things. It was nice to listen to your video over electronics and speakers that are still working 31 years on.
I had a Pioneer SX-727 as my first stereo receiver way back in the day and loved it. I regret selling it but was cash poor at the time and wanted to upgrade to something flashier, what a mistake. I would love to find another. I also have a Pioneer Elite CLD-79 laser disc player which is hooked up to my home video system, never thought about using it as a CD player, I'll have to check out that feature. I love to wow the kids when I pull out an original version of Star Wars without all the additional scenes added over the years.
I now have my father's old Pioneer system, by way of my late sibling who did not take care of it. It's an SX-1010. I genuinely don't know what to do with it. The cab speakers are both non-functional. I considered trying to barter to get one or the other repaired: offering the CS-99A cabinets to get the receiver repaired, or vice versa.
Sweet setup 👍🏻
I always thought your personal HI FI set up world be a Radiogram! Very impressed!
That is a lovely setup you have.

Laserdisc players make good CD players I have found, perhaps because the motor, player and laser mechanism is a little more beefy!
@@Vintage-Tech Do you use an external DAC or the one internal to the laser disc player?
@@Bob_Betker The internal one
My Hi-Res-Fi setup = old laptop streaming Tidal and library of lossless music files + USB DAC headphone amp + Focal Utopia headphone
Very nice - Love the sx-727. I did cringe a bit at those lovely speakers sitting on the floor. Hopefully you'll find a spot for them a bit higher.
Thanks! Im hoping to get some stands sorted soon..
Great set up , and it works for you , sold many of the Pioneer tuner amps!!
