5 rigs, in my profile below.
That's why I am thinning the heard a bit by selling my Cambridge Audio Azur 640A v2/840C combo.

I always say that right before I drag in more stuff....Good luck, lol.. Home theater stuff listed. For 2ch in most every room, Pioneer sx980, Sherwood s7910, Kenwood KR 7050, Pioneer sx780, Project 1 mkIII. Assorted JBL Large/small speakers, Pioneer hpm, Kenwood 999, old Sansui of some type, Various Cerwin AT, Technics TT, PIoneer TT, various Carver, Parasound, Rotel, amps. Thats pretty much the stuff my wife can see, I have a barn too. Just to note, really not a contest, just a great hobby where you can't really lose anything if done right. I have less money in the bank than many people so it evens out. So, eleven in actual use. I do use a switch on a few to change amp/speaker.

If you had put in all of your investable money the day before each of the major stock market crashes in the past forty years And left your money in the entire time he would be a millionaire now. Tell me what warren Buffett is doing and I’ll tell you what you should be doing with your money. The ultra wealthy do things that have no bearing on our financials. Get/be debt free, have a safety net savings account, and invest the rest in long term solid investments. Will the crash hurt, only if I look at my investments the day of the crash. It’s ok chicken little, the sky is not falling unless you weren’t planning ahead…
Great if it all goes to heil we'll all be rich ! Fortunately I could care less about the market, it's ALL gonna get much better soon...that's why ole boy bailed is the STORY ! It's not about the market, WOW. Just to reiterate, ole boy CEO Moderna took his $400 million OUT, CLOSED SOCIAL MEDIA. He is also LARGEST INVESTOR in SPOTIFY........huh......

I'm not sure about all but plenty old ones are. It's always best to research the unit for spec info. There is probably info on most units around the interzone.

I stop using my kilpcsh F30 towers 1yr ago because I moved I kept them in my office and when I hooked them back up to my receiver the only sound that it produced came out ot both horns. Please help I love these towers never had a issue with them thanks
Check the jumpers on rear. Unless you are biamping the speaker terminals should be connected together. That's a start.

t I would call a complete restoration of this Sony receiver. Replaced all the electrolytic capacitors except one that checked fine that I did not have in stock. Forgive me but I did not want to combine 2 to make the correct value. Cleaned the pots and aligned. Did some repairs to the beautiful walnut case and it now sits in my bedroom.
Thats a beauty for sure. I really like that vent look. I missed out recently on a similar Sony, not quite so purdy as that though. Sony had some hits during that era. They still pull a rabbit out occasionally.

A finished restoration project, a Sherwood S-7100A. Replaced all the electrolytic caps minus 1, the main PS filter capacitor which tested in spec with low ESR so from my experience it has a lot more life left in it. I have a new replacement I ordered but saw no need in replacing it. Checked alignment, cleaned all controls and gave it a thorough cleaning. The case is plywood with walnut veneer that is in really good shape but looked dry so I stained it and it came out looking great for it's age. Sounds really good with measured power of 22 watts at clipping 1000hz. Nice addition to my collection.
I have not heard a 7100a since I was a teenager, and they were still almost new....An older guy, Cummins worker with money bought one and we listened to some of the Greatest music ever recorded on it.

According to reports. Paypal , Venmo and the like will now report to the Eye RS any transfer over $600 in a year. And keep record of your income through them. So keep good records of those old records or radios or whatever you sell cause your BIG OLD Brother is watching and may want an explanation.....Just to be clear 200 + 200+ 200 or more will be reported.

Just wanted to put this up for those thinking just spray those old pots with deoxit. Deoxit could damage your pots. I just wanted those searching to have more info. I sprayed em in the past, just very lightly but still I didn't know. Clean your pots with the appropriate cleaner then put a drop of 100% fader lube on the carbon, spread with make up swab. Put 100% red drop on metal but not carbon. It's ok for most switches but not pots. I have seen the damage and its hard to clean off and can even ruin the carbon, imo.

One more honorable mention of one of the best vintage receivers I've ever owned or heard, all around Great.....The power, smooth but detailed presentation is really something. It may be that this unit was new until 5 years ago that gives it that better than usual sound. On KLF 30's, at 11 oclock on the volume the ceiling could be in jeopardy.

Sansui or Pioneer
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
Yeah...Zombie thread but...when it pops up in a search it's still influential. People read these and sometimes think ...well that's it. Well...I have Pioneers, including the 780 which sounds pretty darn good on klipsch. Never touched in 40+ years, daily driver. I also have a few Sansui's, 9090 and a G3500 which sound nothing like a Pioneer to me. The 9090 is so different most people can hear it instantly. The clarity on the top end and the thunderous bass are about the opposite of the well mannered Pioneers. They are smooth, even, balanced to my ears. The Sansui 9090 is a musical treat to my ears, it's just a great music player for Rock and Jazz at least to me. A guitar really has that powerful bite and a drums pound even more than maybe they should according to my wifey.
