Welcome to the family LugBug! Meet your American cousin (well, Canadian actually - I bought it in Montreal):
 
 
 
Mine is back in my office closet unfortunately. I just have no use for it right now...

If you only had $400 would you use it:
 
1. restore your Scott 299b tube amp which you refuse to use until restored.  (worth saying i play vinyl, have klipsch cornwalls, and this amp has no headphone out)
 
2. purchase a cosmetically B+/A Kenwood Supreme 600 that is non-functioning (needs basic restore service).
 
Im so confused.

I just closed a deal on a fully restored Sansui model 8. I passed on it a few times but kept coming back to it because the price was just too good to pass up on. I should be able to pick it up maybe Sunday when of course I will post some pics.

Come to my place.
I can loan you my 500 or KA-907. Then you won't be confused.

Its beautiful and I love it. I keep it for sentimental reasons, but it doesn't have the performance to drive my headphones or home speakers well enough.

oh by the way, whats the clinical definition for the individual that consistently carries 50lb vintage receiver/amps outside to the deck to listen to headphones outside on beautiful New England summer nights?  It has to be a sickness (no matter how sweet the sound).

That's some kind of crazy dedication to move the equipment. I moved my old Kenny KR-9600 exactly twice, which was twice more than I wanted to haha. I have only moved the sx-1980 to the shop and back (a few more times than I wanted to grumble grumble...), and every time it leaves its mark (literally prints heatsink grill marks into the skin on my arms).
If I want to hear it from the porch, I just turn the knob clockwise haha :D
That's not as good as some good hp's or speakers, but my back prefers it that way.
