Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

  Anyone have a favorite integrated amp here?
I am super stoked for the Pioneer SA 9900 I just bought on the ol' auction site, but would like to flesh out a collection sometime soon.


The Sansui AU-717 and AU-719 get a lot of love here and on audiokarma.com ...

Q to MattTCG:
 
How do the MA900s work with Vintage Amps ?
 
Are they too efficient ?

So I was a let to get my SX-680's scruffy cabinet refinished with a real wood veneer. My little bedroom system, the 680, Infinitesimals, and an iPod + Wadia dock, is quite the little rig. And the cool thing is my wife LOVES it. She uses it mostly, and mostly for listening to the radio.

Looking good, Rob. Do you like the Wadia dock? I saw different brand in the man cave and wondered which was easier to use. I have an old iPhone 3G I am planning to use in that type of setup.

I had a 680 for a while.  Very nice sounding unit.  It was in absolute mint condition too.  Kind of sorry I sold it.

Surprisingly good sounding for the size/price.

Hi Tim, the dock that you saw was the Pure i20 and it's nicer, and cheaper. The Wadia I bought when it first came out as it was the first of its kind.

Cute, aren't they? And amazing sound for the size.

I'm starting mine off with the most controversial recordings ever put out by U2. It also happens to be one of the best-produced albums I own on CD.

Yea, I got mine for $40. A little DeOxit and she was good to go.

So finally have an excuse to post here, mind me. I have in my current possession, a Marantz 2220B receiver. While the receiver may need some cleaning work and bulb replacements, it has served me well so far. I currently utilize it as a phono preamp and speaker amplifier for my Technics SL-210 F.G. Servo turntable.

 
The record playing on the turntable is Mobile Fidelity's pressing of Miles Davis' Round About Midnight, which sounds fantastic (even in Mono). : - )
