Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
Thanks, scottie, it's performing very well. Powerful, transparent and spacious, so I'm liking it a lot. The tone controls seem to have been implemented well, so even the loudness makes sense in some recordings! Love those VU-meters going back and fro while I'm working... Bass is very good. I...- REB

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
I know about their tape decks (the vintage knob has a nice on-line collection), but in terms of amplifiers and other separates they never did as well (saleswise) as the really big names in Europe, did they? Or perhaps I just never paid much attention to the brand. Esoteric seems to be pretty...- REB

Will do, but I haven't hooked up any speakers yet. And I don't think I'm going to fiddle with the insides... I don't trust myself with a soldering iron. Quote:- REB

And it's got this cool reverse stereo switch (I guess for if you wire the speakers the wrong way?) Playing with it and listening to it, I don't think it's in the same class as the kenwood ka7002, but it's more involving in a way. Maybe because it's a bit 'lighter' than the kenwood. It is...- REB

Well, the teac bx500 arrived and except for a faint crackle in the volume pot which appears now and then it is in the condition the seller promised me it would be in. That is to say, very good, all the pot meter (alps) are fine, no channel imbalance, the vu meters work and so do the lights. With...- REB

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
I decided to take a gamble on a brand that is only seen as a major brand in australia afaik: TEAC. I bought a TEAC bx500 for the measly sum of 25 euros. It's supposed to be in a good state (guy who sells it knows how to maintain audio gear) and a bit of a sleeper according to a number of euro...- REB

Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners
A pair of fostex r20v2 just showed up at the office today :), courtesy of leeperry from whom I bought these. Plugged them into the Kenwood and instant synergy happened. Fiddling with the tone controls is now even more important, but, boy, do these sound good! the kenwood has tons of power and...- REB
