There is a switch (locked in place with a screw) on the back of the sx-650 that says 25 and 75. Um...what does it do? 

Must say I am surprised it has a 25us selection on it - I thought that was for Dolby FM which really never took off.

what do you mean?

 

[MattTCG]

Are they fulled sized or the "mini" version?

Alright vintage receiver fans! I'm in the market for a receiver with a headphone amp that has a low output impedance (might not exist) and a decent phono stage. My current digital setup has a dac/amp combo unit, so I can't use it with a turntable

I feel like there have been some excellent finds lately for CL in my area, and this one may be the one to jump on.  My newest find http://annapolis.craigslist.org/ele/3872660609.html   I own neither a turntable nor speakers, but have been wanting to enter into that world as well.  It is a pioneer sx-950 (seemingly great condition), refurbished HPM-100s, and a technics SL-1200.
 
My only reluctancy is that I'm seeing mixed reviews for the HPM-100s and I couldn't find much on the SL-1200 that is not the MK2 version.  I'm not even sure what the right questions to ask are when purchasing a used turntable.  Also, should I be concerned about the fact that the speakers are refurbished?
 
 From what I gathered for this price it seems criminal to pass up and would serve as a nice entry vintage setup, as well as a way to drive my HE-500.  What you all think?  Does anyone have any reason why I and this rig should not be married?

Depending on the condition, I'd say that price is fair. Others may chime in here. I was in the market for a Pioneer and ended up with the 650 but also looked at the 950. The great thing about Craigslist is that you can go out and actually check it for yourself. Ebay is just too risky and the shipping stinks on gear this heavy. Take a source and some headphones and go out there and check it out. Now get busy!!

I don't know what consumption level is at your area, but it will be long gone in my area. Pioneer sx-950 alone will fetch $300 easily if in good condition.

 

[Rawrbington]

yeah
thats a pretty good deal
hpm 100 and sx 950 both go for around 300 each in my parts as well

 

[Silent One]

That deal would've been down-the-street (finished)!

RUN do not walk! That is a steal. I own the 100's and am of the "love em" camp. You will be hard pressed to find the speakers for $300 alone. Not to mention there are only 2 on EB right now with BIN prices of $250 and $225 not including shipping.

 

[Trav]

I meant there are only 2 SX 950 on EB, sorry.
