This guy bought an entire vintage audio store. He shipped all of the items to his store in Baltimore. Anyone interested can contact him for specific vintage audio items he’s selling.

I'd be like a kid in a candy store!

I know. I was thinking pretty much the same thing

I bought Susvara 2 month ago and I did not think that triggers the light bulb for me to dig up my vintage amps. Susvara sound breathtaking with these vintage amps. Wish I had kept my Sansui(s).

On this lowly Sony STR-7035, Susvara became the Lion King !

Not surprised, the original premise of this thread was the amazing ability of vintage receivers (with power reserves to spare at the HP jack) to drive today's head phones..

got a new project, a Sony F6. For a 1977 the build quality on this is seriously impressive, from every knob n switch being solid aluminum, or the feel of the stepped (alps?) volume pot, or switches that go *thunk*, or the cool schematic drawn on top, or the glass panel on top of the VU meters...

but unfortunately the seller didnt disclose how many parts were missing from the power amp, so it may be a while before i can test on headphones or speakers (though as a pre-amp into my pioneer's power section it sounds really clean and decent enough)

 

[BrownBear]

That is a beauty.....nothing like old amps like this. Looking forward to impressions some day man

Added an 80s JVC integrated receiver to my TV stand, an a vintage Pioneer EQ

and my Pioneer has reached its final form

Also just bought a vintage Yamaha C4 pre-amp but the restoration isn't ready for pics yet (and the Sony is still under the knife for the next few months at least)

That’s a very nice stack and NAD M51 is in there.

Not a monster receiver but in great shape. I got this for free. The older gentleman had not used it in years and when I turned it on, the relay clicked overly loud each time, and the only sound was a loud hum over the speakers. I took it to an older tech that I know and he replaced several capacitors, and voila, the receiver was alive again. This is my third Yamaha, I have a new arms HT model, and then a totl, rx 1130, from the early 90’s with an incredibly large controller which I cannot post here because it does not meet the criteria of this thread. Anyway here is my Yamaha CR 620 -

Great Yamaha receiver lineup from the late 70's. I have the CR-820, which I also got used but not for free.
