Thanks! I have to say that a lot of the guys in this thread were just the kind of (bad) influence I needed to hunt for this gear in the first place. @Silent One and his G22000 started my hunt for my 33k, and @Oregonian, @SpeakerBox , and @Skylab have been very encouraging as well - especially...

I've moved house to a new place and have the stereo running again. It's nice to be able to decompress a bit after a long day.

I've moved to a new place and the whole kit and kaboodle came with me. For the most part, everything was fine, but the speakers had some mild damage in transit. Somehow about a fourth of the drivers stopped working on the right speaker. After a few days fretting and unpacking, I finally found my...

The remote came in today and I'm really happy! I've set it to control the TV audio volume and CD player audio volume, as well as the power for the receiver and all auxiliaries. My favorite part is that the meters still dance, no matter the input. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I think...

Hi guys, it's been quite a while since I last posted, but I have some new acquisitions that I'm pretty happy about! I put the minimum bid on a sony str-6200f that looked nice in the wood case and original box and ended up getting it. Oops haha. The wife was fairly understanding all things...

No fuse?? Woah! The higher spec models (6065 and up) have one soldered into the power supply board. I like to modify in a fuse bracket to make changing it easier (because of course I never get the troubleshooting right the first time...)

Wow those internals are SPOTLESS! Great find!

The great thing about this journey is that feeling when you've reached a good point along the way and you can finally stop annoying the wife by swapping out components constantly haha. That being said, I still am always on the hunt for new items to try out, so the journey continues. :D

Ahhhhh, I'm really thinking we're on the same sonic wavelength. I'm the proud owner of a number of similar vintage Sony receivers (mostly str-6120's), as well as a sansui G-33000. I love the sansui and it is truly amazing, but the sony's are 99% as good for 10% as much money, so I keep them as...

Great find Oregonian!! This is just a step on the path to the Sansui side. ;)

WOW! What great gear photos! This thread has really been active the last few days. I'm LOVING all the Sansui fans out here! It make me feel more confident in my choice of my main setup for sure. I don't plan to ever get rid of my Big G (unless that crazy guy on that auction site ever gets his...

That sucks man. It looks like the integrated wood case broke, but I don't see any bent metal. It might not be too hard to repair the case. If it works otherwise, it might be worthwhile to try a local sale on craigslist after you make the repairs. Just make sure you're open with the buyer that...

I'm a sucker for a blue meter! Looks great!

That's a lot of receiver for $10!!!! I used one of those for a few months while I was on a long trip and I really liked it. I still own several of its bigger brothers. Very good amp!

That's a good price! Almost too good for a piece in good shape. Nice find Bob!

WOW! New in box!? As a gift! I've got to find a friend like that haha! Great acquisition man, thanks for the photos!

Woah, what a thorough work through of that amp! With that much work done, the tech probably ran it to make sure the amp didn't burn up (more so than to 'burn in' new parts).

Finally getting to my record store day purchases! I played Bowie's "Let's Dance" and Pink Floyd's "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". My impressions: Bowie was a 12" 45 and really not what I was expecting. FIrst off, it was two different single versions of Let's Dance instead of a repressing of the...

Great to see the BIG G out in the wild again! Silent One was the person who originally encouraged me to take the plunge into a Big G as well. It is hands down the best receiver I have ever heard. Currently spinning "Tommy" by the Who. Please pardon the mess... For team Sony, some 6120's. I...

Anyone else listening to their system today? Im enjoying the new lorde album and getting the led out. What’s everyone else enjoying?

Thanks man, a lot of it was just lucky - spotting them as they went for sale locally - then trading up to keep from spending too much or having too much in the house to get WAF.

Hey all, I haven’t posted anything substantial in a while as I haven’t had my system fully running for months due to the move. Everything was put into a container in July and shipped 9 timezones east over to Europe. There have certainly been a few trials on the way haha. Two of my Sony...

I love the turntable! What a great looking piece!

You’ve got a ton (almost literally) of quality there. I am a huge fan of the Sony and I concur with your thoughts to change to a 6120. I’ve compared 6060,6120, and 6200’s side by side and the 6120/6200 are better to my ears, though all are super nice. The 6120/6200 are nearly identical apart...

After 2 days on 220v, I have smoked two Sony STR-6120's that are switched to 240v settings. Both had the same failure - the switch that controls the switched outlet on the back has melted. Looks like the switch is rated for 500v, but it seems like they have both independently decided that 220 is...
