Look what the Postman delivered today!  Needs a good deoxit treatment but otherwise in good condition and sounds sweet playing 24bit 96k FLACs from the ole trusty rockboxed iPod to the HE-500s.

Whats the word on the phono stage on these AU-x17 'Suis?  I've really been digging spinning vinyl lately on my Realistic LAB-400 through my Realistic STA-2100D even more than through the Luxman R-1150.
 
I cant wait to hear the Scott 299b but I'm going to have it restored by Craig at NOS Valves first.

Anybody know what kind of wattage or Mili-wattage the SX750 puts out the headphone jack? 

It depends on the impedance of the headphone, of course. Pioneer used mostly 150 ohm dropping resistors, so that factors in as well. Somewhere I have the spreadsheet that does the calculation. I remember that the SX-1980 from its headphone jack puts out a max of about 25 WATTS into the LCD-3

BCE, beautiful Sui! I'm sure the phono stage is quite good. Phono was everything back then!

A coworker (who also owns a 1250, not for sale) has a mint condition 707 with 2 boxes full of tape he's offering to me for $125. Never used one. Any thoughts?

Wow. All I know is that I have yet to bring the volume knob past the 10 o'clock spot. Usually it is in the 8-9 spot with both my T50rp and my Q701. What are we talking here, something like 5 watts or so max into about 50-62ohm headphones from the SX-750?

I had one 2 years ago, nice one. I sold it since I got 2 ailing AU-717 which are still waiting for restore. There were lots talk about this model at the beginning of this thread.
 
What's wrong with R-1120 phono stage? I don't listen to phono, but no one said bad thing about Luxman phono on the internet.

Just for the heck of it, I searched for the Pioneer SX750 service manual.
 
You're Skylab, its 150ohms.

As a rough guess that would probably be about right, yes.

RUN. Don't walk. RUN over there, with cash in hand, and hope its still there!!!!

 

[MattTCG]

Um Trav...I think you been given a pearl of wisdom here. Better jump on it!!

 

[wuwhere]

The size of the resistor depends on the receiver's power rating. The Pioneer SX-2900 is rated at 65wpc @ 8ohms. Its headphone resistors' value was 330ohms.

There is nothing wrong with it.  Im going to clean the phono contacts and have a compare session  between all my amp phono stages.  I gotta tell ya i love the luxman with phones and digital source material. i definately love it.

Trav that is a smoking deal, better jump on that while its still available!'

TX-6500 II tuner, and SA-8500 integrated. My camera happened to be sitting right beside me when I glanced over.
