MEH Synergy Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 You are good! It isn't New York, but what would your second choice be (should have been your first)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 @Emile yea it is black, but look at those beautiful vu meters and the tuner. On looks alone it would be nice to have, especially if you can experience it for a few minutes first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Let me seriously suggest this. I have owned three different Denon integrated amps from the 80's/90's and they all have sounded incredible. Bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Emile, I found an Optonica 5151 in the thrift stores a few years back for pocket change. Same 85 watts a channel. Compared to another “find”, a Sony TA-F400 at 100 watts a side, it was pathetic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 That Denon system would be hard to beat for the money. Although, a tuner and a CD changer are two of the last things I need. One could always sell those two off and recoup some of the cost towards the integrated amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 OK; how about an Onkyo TX-3000, 45W/ch. Yes; got some bids in on a Marantz 2238B and a 2252B, but really don't feel like spending over $400 for a system I will "barely" use. The Denon system is nice ... but trying to stay with vintage silver stuff ... yeah; just for "looks." Pretty cheap HaHa ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Onkyo-TX-3000-stereo-receiver-VG-condition/142948530794?hash=item2148657a6a:g:WfoAAOSwDzFbRQMZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 OK; can anyone tell me why I am such a cheap a$$. My stock account goes up/down by (usually) more than $10,000 daily ... but I'm careful to spend an extra $100 on stereo stuff Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I don't know, but maybe you wouldn't feel so bad if you sent a few of those bottles that surely you won't get to my way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEH Synergy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Haha it's still silly money when it goes to zero. After all, it is only a problem if you want to take that imaginary money out, pay taxes and put it in your wallet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile doesn't share well... Sometime I'll have to tell you the story about what it took me to steal his cleaning lady and bring her to Ohio for a few weeks! The receiver? Onyk, Oynk! Stock market $$$? His wallet is taped tite w/purple Duck tape! Carry on! 😂 Edited September 29, 2018 by Dave1290 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 @Emile, I found the perfect vintage system for you. Easy days worth of stock pennies. They might even have two for you. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis94fd9-marantz-10b-home-theater?utm_campaign=Saturday_Email_20180929&utm_content=saturday_email_20180929&utm_medium=email&utm_source=zaius&zm64_id=c3Bpcml0b2ZyZXZvbHQ3NzdAeWFob28uY29t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am soooo cheap Waiting for the price to drop OK; explanation for the "cheap" comment ... have several Heritage speakers ...
