[Silent One]

Updated the garage gym system......................found this Spec 4 amp for a good price (recapped, etc). Another update inbound in the form of a Pioneer P-D70 CD player that I've coveted for a while.................


If I were your postal carrier I’d definitely pad 30 min onto the route...daily.

Just got back from Shelly’s Stereo (Woodland Hills) with Magnepan LRS’s for my Sansui...”Baby Sinister, meet your new playmate Baby Maggie.”

Here's the update for the garage gym system with the vintage Pioneer P-D70 CD player added to the Spec stack...............

Powerful (and excellent) look!

My Kenwood KA-9100 amp. Nice mix of old school and new tech i think.

Gorgeous...............Kenwood was my first vintage. Mine is the KA-5700 which I still use to this day as my home office computer system base.

Here is one of my vintage receivers, my Sansui G9000 -

Excellent--that the big and slightly older brother of the G-7500 I bought (and still use) as a closeout in-store demo.

Yes, it Is close to the 7500, I also have a nice Sansui TT if we are allowed to post pics of that here? This G9000 has a nice smooth sound, I hardly push it, the VU meters barely move because I don’t want to go deaf Did you get yours in the late 70s?

 

[KG Jag]

No--the G-7500 was in production from 1980-1982. I got mine in about 1982 or 1983. I think the the 85 watts/channel G-7000 (and G-8000) was in the same line as the G-9000.

Even with the 90 watts/channel G-7500, you really have to crank the volume up to get the 2 power VU meters to jump more than just a bit.

You are correct, I should have double checked my dates... In 82 I was playing my Colecovision with the Atari 2600 adapter, at that time I listened to my parents Onkyo Tx2500 mkII. 90 watts per channel is more than enough. I have a much smaller Technics SA 400 and that is only 45 watts, but more than enough power with efficient speakers(have it connected to Sonus Faber Chameleon Ts.).

 

[KG Jag]

Your parents Onkyo was also a very good receiver, but I think it was more like 40 (RMS) watts/channel. See:

Your Technics had almost the same power rating--45 watts/channel. See:

You can check the photos in the links and see if you have cited the correct model numbers.

I have the Onkyo TX-6500 Mk ll. its rated at 100wpc. I have it driving a pair of Rectilinear Highboys in my den. It was a clear,detailed sound. Nowhere near as warm as my Sansui receivers.

I just bought a new(for me) vintage receiver yesterday. Ive been lusting after this receiver for several years,and now I finally have one.

Pics will be posted when it arrives next wednesday.
