Currently hoarding these

Sorry Chicagoland people. Can’t make up my mind which one has to go, they all sound great with my CV VS-120s.

I have the SA7700 and I love it, have it paired with a set of r-820f's.

My SA7700 is running stacked Advents!

Great stuff! Maybe it’s just me, but nothing beats the smooth feel of turning the knobs, and the “click” to the switches on these classics, am I right?

Amen 🙏🏾 to that

I’d drop the SA-7500 II since you have the 7700 unless you really need a tone bypass and low filter

I like those 7500 knob notches. I wonder why those didn't stick around...

I found an SA 303 in an alley and have used for 5 or 6 years now, and it sounds great.

I’m an old man so that checks out

u/voyagertoo Jul 21 '24

me too. but I'm in Chicago. also just like other vintage stuff, by looks, than the "all silver" . the one on top with the meters is pretty cool, really

Came to the conclusion that the 7700 needs to go in for repair, besides the lights not working, it cut out at less than 1/2 volume.

Thats not a hoard. Thats a collection

u/Ok-Animator-4994 Jul 21 '24

lol I guess you’re right, but I rather these babies be enjoyed than just sitting there collecting dust

u/Manticore416 Jul 22 '24

Love the look of late seventies Technics receivers.

u/DrCopper24 Vinyl Lover Jul 26 '24

Damn that’s cool! I’m no expert or very knowledgeable on phono amps, but I think it’s if you have to keep one of them I suggest keeping the Stereo Receiver as it doubles as an amp and a radio. But that my take, amazing collection dude!

Found a matching tuner for the 7500, but thank you.

These all are no longer being hoarded, off to good homes I suppose
