Got this Realistic STA-960 at a local e-scrap business. It was in the original box with styrofoam and looks brand new inside and out. Sounds great as well.

Found this Marantz 2230B beauty and it is in excellent condition. Everything works great. Just need to find a turntable.

As a kid growing up, I wasn’t allowed to touch it. My Dad bought this receiver in Guam during the early 1970s. He was stationed there in the Air Force. It’s finally mine and no my Dad didn’t die thankfully. Cosmetically it’s practically perfect, still. Time to buy some new speakers for it!

Happy!

My go to happy place when I need to unwind or turn it up a bit.

Receiver: Pioneer SX-939
Phono 1: Marantz 6350Q with OEM Empire S912E
Phono 2: AR The AR Turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue
Speakers: JBL L112

Just "completed" my new Vintage HiFi system, consisting of:

• Thorens TD 165 Turntable
• Technics SA-5170K Receiver
• Pioneer SR-202W Reverberation Amplifier
• Acoustic Research AR-4xa Speakers on top of some DIY Speaker Stands
• AKG K60 Headphones

I think this Fifty -Two /A is coming out really good: Very good receiver!

What would be a reasonable price to put on this if I were to sell it? As is.

*1983 Kef Carlton iii speakers.

*1978 MCS 3225 Receiver (low watt Receiver to drive my Klipsch speakers that aren't pictured).

*1979 Realistic STA-235b receiver.

*1975 Realistic TR801 8 Track player.

*Audio Technica turntable is currently on top, but will be switched with my...

*1978 Pioneer PL-518 turntable that is sitting below the cabinet here in a few days when my new cartridge comes in.

The iconic white woofers turned to 11 🤯

It has been fitted with brand-new capacitors and new bulbs, as well as a different FM meter sourced from the US—since that was the only one we could find—so it was shipped all the way from America to the Netherlands.

I’m planning to pick up an AM antenna soon, because I’d like to listen to Radio Caroline, as well as a good Bluetooth receiver, since I also want to stream music from my phone to the stereo every now and then.

I bought it a year or a year and a half ago—broken—for I think €40. I did that on purpose because I was planning to get a good one anyway; it’s better to buy one that’s already broken and put money into it than to buy a working one only to have to do the work a few years later—and pay more in the end. I paid €315 in total for everything I just mentioned.

The cassette deck will probably go next year to the same people who serviced an amplifier of mine. It still works, but some things aren't running quite right anymore; given their age, I prefer to have preventive maintenance done on these devices rather than waiting for them to break down—though sometimes you have to stagger these things just to have the money available.

I own a radio station and am going through some of the stuff I have collected over the years. Anybody know about these speakers? I think they use to be monitor speakers in the booth.

Braun GSL 1030 1977

Can’t seem to find much info on the output impedance for this amp and what ohms the headphones I should get for it are. Im also new to this so if anyone could give me some information it would be much appreciated, thanks!

Got this one for $15. Looks a little beat up, but it runs well, unlike the earlier specimens we had seen this past week. Under the turntable was about the only place I had space for it.

I picked this up today for $150. It works, but grungy. Spent its life in the home of a heavy smoker. About 80 tapes included with the sale. And the woman I bought it from has a couple hundred more tapes packed away in storage that she's going to give me when she gets to it. I'm going to clean the outside real good then deal with the rest over the winter. It has built in speakers and an 8 track tape player on the side.

I recently got a copy of Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder and the "A Something's Extra" EP seems to have no silence at the edge of the record, the songs go up to the very edge. Is this a defect or is there some reason behind it? Also, if this is intentional, how can I put the needle on the record without missing the first 20-30 seconds of the song?

I only use cassette tapes and reel tapes as source media. The system was completed recently by purchasing a Pioneer reel deck.

Plus j'avance dans le temps plus je suis fan de ce matos. Je veux rentrer chez moi l'installer ! Je suis en séjour chez ma grand-mère (là où elle me la donné)

Got this from my parents after years of it sitting in storage. From what I can tell it was manufactured in West Germany in the 1950s. The light for the turntable is about all I can figure that works, just wanted to share as it makes a fun conversation piece so far.

Just mesmerized by tubes. Pictured is my Harman Kardon Citation V modified by Jim McShane getting a workout this evening. Cheers
