Bought some Klipsch floorstanders and as I was loading them up the lady said she had an old receiver and turntable (and a technics CD player) that she'd give me for $20 more. Was definitely happy when I looked at it and discovered it was a perfectly functioning Sansui G-7700 with not a scratch on it. The turntable is a working (and beautifully sounding) Sansui XR-Q9. Best $20 I've ever spent!
Oh this is soooo nice!👍 I bought a new Yamaha CR-620, ran it HARD almost continuously for 4 years (college). Sold it to a Frat boy freshman and he did the same 4 years again. Got it BACK (with original JVC Studio turntable) 10 years later. Still cooking. Only service ever required? New bulb in the slide-rule tuner! Great equipment is worth the investment. Then and… NOW.
I was stationed in Japan in the AirForce in 1974 and 1975 and boy what a time. The yen was 400 to the dollar and audio equipment was dirt cheap. I had a Pioneer SX 1010, Teac top load cassette, Teac Reel to Reel , Technics direct drive turntable and other stuff. I didn't know to keep it, what a dummy! It literally was the years that Japan dominated the audio equipment market with their top of the line products.
I am 71 and still play a lot of music And am VERY glad a lot of my old friends are going the Bluetooth way. I have Phaze linear series 2 preamp series 2 power amp. Carver thx 35x. Luxman MO-2 Marantz 1200B etc etc. NOTHING compares to the old classic amp and preamps
I’m also amazed how fast/easy everything was to set-up. Plug into wall socket, connect 4 speaker wires = MUSIC! My current system takes LOTS more time & attention. 🤷♂️
I was SO jealous of anybody in the early 70s who had a killer sound system. First I had a cheap plastic GE record player. Then I used my paper route earnings and bought one of those suitcase type stereos. It opens up and the turn table comes down and the speakers turn outward. I didn't have the stereo of my dreams until 1977 when I was 19. My parents were flabbergasted when I told them I spent over $800 for an all Pioneer sound system. I didn't have it on for five minutes when my neighbor started pounding on the wall. 😎👍
FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISNT AT LEAST ONE SMALL COMPANYmaking a modern replica of a reel-to-reel cassette recorder as was available in the 70s
Lived just outside of Ft. Bragg most my life and all the GI’s would purchase this wonderful stereo equipment overseas and ship it home. The best of times for home music. Bose sounds great but this was so much cooler. Never forget when “The Who” came out with “Quadrophenia”. Needed 4 speakers to have a proper listening experience. Those were the days.
Love the vintage powerhouses. Took years to find all the Marantz pieces in NM condition but it was worth every single penny. Plus it’s now worth twice what i paid for it without needing one dimes worth of repair. Silver faces forever!!!
I have never been into the monster receivers but i have several of their little brothers.I have Sansui 551,661,5050 and a G2000 plus a Pioneer SX-780 i've owned since high school '79.They are all works of art and oh,that beautiful Sansui sound.
I got that same Carver TX2 tuner...bought new back in 80s. Got it paired with my original PIoneer C90 and M90 amps...Denon DP59L turntable and Cornwall (1978) speakers. Awesome....
I find it rare not to see an APT Holman here which was one of the best phono stages in 1978, the Technics SA-303 and SA-500 had excellent phono stage also.
😊 happy that I was younger and could appreciate all of this superb equipment.just 💘 loved browsing through all 👍 great catalogs &stereo magazines back then.just 👎 nothing like this anymore.😒
I have all vintage equipment, Pioneer RT 701 Reel to Reel, Teac 3300-10 Reel to Reel, Marantz 2220b Receiver, Kenwood KD-2000 turntable, Advent 3 book shelf speakers, if I had room a would get a few more Reel to Reels, they just look and sound so good!
@@LennyFlorentine Thanks, I just gone done listen to a mix tape I made on my reel to reel! I wanted one back in the 1970,s but I used to party a lot back in the day, They take some up keep, to keep them running smooth!
You guys pay attention to detail with Class. AND, what a collection of outstanding Vintage Audio. I mostly collect and restore Vacuum Tube McIntosh. Cheers!
I have owned a few of the vintage stereo system and I know that there and a lot of good ones out there but I seem to prefer Pioneer and Sansui for the best bass and reliability thank you for a trip to memory lane !
Stationed in Germany in the USAF from '68-'71 or so. Had two Elac Miracord turntables and a Teac 4010s reel to reel running through my baby...a Pioneer SX9000 Receiver to two huge pairs of Sansui 3 ways with a Cassette deck (I forget the make) for good measure. Even had an 8 Track RECORDER! Sold all of it back here in the States when money problems cropped their ugly heads up. Had loads of other stereo gear at various times in the service, but the ones I mentioned were the last to go. Wish I'd been smarter about money so I could still have that gorgeous sounding gear. Sigh. If I ever wandered into your store, you'd probably need dynamite to get me out again! LOL! I even, at one point, had a reel to reel with 4! reels! Miracord, dubbing deck I think, for copying reel tapes.
Purchased a Marantz 2330BD, a Kenwood turntable, and a pair of Bose 501's back around 1979 while in the Coast Guard. Still have them today, however the receiver does need some work...developed a 60 cycle hum in one channel, and most likely needs a re-cap and cleaning. I also replaced the woofers in the speakers. Does your business do "rebuilds" for customers?
We loved all those shiny knobs, the heavier they were the more they cost. Until, they got older and all those filter capacitors leaked and them cheap transistors and diodes leaked too. Now, fixing one costs hundreds IF you can get parts and know what to do. And, know what not todo!😊
I sold hi-fi for a couple of big chains in the late '70s. Top brands were Yamaha and Pioneer. Sansui was "Sanscrewi," because it broke often. Sold all my stuff on eBay years ago for crazy money.
I have some wonders from Sansui, receiver- G301, deck -SC 3300, both connected to a pair of SP-X7500 speakers. You don't want to know how I can still, after almost 50 years, make my neighbors cry. It works perfectly, with an enviable sound and I haven't even changed their bulbs. I'm glad that all the broken Sansui devices were sold only in your area.
I had the Pioneer SX 626, received from my parents as a birthday gift when I was 16. Only 26 watts per channel but looked and sounded good, with nice wood cabinet.
Do you now how hard it is to find a decent pair of 3 way speakers? Back in the day, they were practically a staple of every household, nor they're as rare and expensive as platinum.
first and foremost let me say you have an incredible list of electronic equipment, both sound and video, and an exceptional line of great products that I believe are still relevant for the household and a way to break from the cellphones and procure music through the use of smartphones to download. I believe in the use of software like Winamp and the newer Linux base Linamp to run on a PC or LnxPC and or Mac to connect to these amps and equalizers to enhance sounds to 350 or 555 watts while using these beautifully stylized amps and speakers etc. to beautify while improving the home. If you have an email or website plz notify and I'll get back to you.. THank YOu .
Marantz 2325 owner paired with Klipsch Kg 5.5 It was recently refurbished after losing power in 1997. I couldn't let it go and glad i didnt. So, it's powered up with all lights and functions in working order. A new faceplate is needed, baby steps.
Great presentation. It amazes me how those 1970 and 1980 systems had so much better musicality than today’s stereo systems. I guess the Walkman and now mp3 players killed the audiophile market?
Today's quality equipment sounds 100 times better than any of that, easily! I'm referring to hi end. I'm sure even mid priced kit can beat that stuff. It's mostly kit that has very little refinement in sonics. It was ok for its day. But I am absolutely sure the pricier kit of today will make all that kit sound flat and dull. It will be black and white difference. Nostalgia is nice though!
Hi guy's. Love your store especially the love of the vintage gear. I have a Marantz Model 250m as my daily power amp that replaced my model 15 which developed some faults in a channel and on investigation requires a lot of love and $$'s to fix. My question for you guys is have you had any Marantz Model 15s come through your store and if so what's your thoughts.. Of the 50 or so receivers and separates I've owned nothing sounded as good as it running my B&W's. Cheers Luke
I had the Kenwood KR 5030 and a pair of Bose 501s. Great sound. Also had, still have some AKG headphones that over 40 years old still sound better than anything made today.
I have couple of direct drive turntables. One os a 1700 an e the other is 1950 changer. Plus i have maybe 400 lps. Stuff from the 50s thrugh 90s and cd player. And tpe decks
Espectacular todas estas bellezas. Por mi parte tengo un JVC JR-S200 viejito, muy bueno y unas speakers CS-822 Pioneer más un Marantz 2265B impecable! Decks technics, Jvc, tope de linea fines de los 90 y un Akai Gxc 709D. Aunque no es mucho son Hi-Fi vintage y soy feliz.👍👍

Wow.. what an Amazing stroll through time. It brought back memories of looking through the 1979 fall Crutchfield catalogs.
These are the type of stereo where you can hear the real definition of music.
Amazing collection and so impressive.
I got that same Carver TX2 tuner...bought new back in 80s. Got it paired with my original PIoneer C90 and M90 amps...Denon DP59L turntable and Cornwall (1978) speakers. Awesome....
I have rebuilt several of those low watt marantz I think they sound really good.
I find it rare not to see an APT Holman here which was one of the best phono stages in 1978, the Technics SA-303 and SA-500 had excellent phono stage also.

Great trip down memory lane! BUT I was surprised no Setton receivers! Love mine will still blow out my windows!
Came for the beautiful picture of amazing old school build quality. Stayed for the awesome knowledge you shared, glad I did
This video repeats itself halfway through. It’s two exact copies of one shorter video for some reason.
The thumbnail for this vid is sooo beautiful. The Akai: gorgeous.

Any videos on how to clean old receiver and it’s connections
You just can't beat the sound of pioneer and marantz..
Brings back old memories
I have seen some of them in Stereo Review magazine and dreamt of the day I cloud have one.
But now, I am happy with my Sonos.

What happened to theses ? We listen through a phone now ! Shocking
All the classic receivers and integrated amps all had tape monitors & some had adapter loops too. No new amps have those.
I agree!! They need them back!
