Frzninvt Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Wow! That Technics is gorgeous and what a beast! I love the old Pioneer, Luxman, Harman Kardon, Sansui, Kenwood receivers. Now you are getting me wanting to go check eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I would have to ask why to all of the above. Tubes smoke them all [] Really guy's I'm a tube man top to bottom why would I interested in a bunch of SS gear? Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubes smoke them all [] Really guy's I'm a tube man top to bottom why would I interested in a bunch of SS gear? Craig Because Your a fair an Honest Man without an ax to grind, and you realize other people have other tastes, and SS does have a place in this Hobby, and it's not a tube vs SS, it's comparing SS equipment...................... That TECHNICS is a fine looking unit........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whell Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just for the fun of it, Craig! This could really be a hoot. I'll throw in a Marantz 2330B, a 2020B and/or a 1060, and Sansui 9090. I can bring my RF-7's if I can get some help moving 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whell Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 how recent qualifies as vintage? There isn't universal agreement to this question. Most folks think that vintage leaves off somewhere around 1980 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmsummer Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Look for a Yamaha CR-2020 or 3020 (rare). Not tubes, but not Pioneer or Sansui, either (no offense meant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 how recent qualifies as vintage? There isn't universal agreement to this question. Most folks think that vintage leaves off somewhere around 1980 or so. I don't know about audio specifically, but doesn't vintage generally pertain to 25+ years old or older? Antique cars- 25 years, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Colter that means we are almost vintage squared??? (or maybe doubled???) [] [] Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrynsue Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I did have a beautiful Technics SA-1000 that still had the 300WPC sticker that was in mint condition. Sold it on ebay a couple of years back. I had never even heard of this particular model before when I call from a wife who said she wanted the beast out of her house (along with a pair of B&W Matrix 2.2 speakers and a nice Technics turntable). They had just purchased a BOSE system!! They begged me to take it all away for $250.00. I didn't even try to negotiate (not like me). Not a bad deal. I ended up selling the receiver for $1,900.00 to a collector who had every piece of Technics ever made except the SA-1000. He was so concerned that something would get damaged in shipping that he was going to fly here to pick it up personally in his private plane! I did talk him out of it as that was such a waste of time, energy and gas. It arrived safely although @ 94 lbs., it was a beast to pack. Sorry I can't help but it is a beautiful receiver and I am sure one will turn up. Just be prepared to pay top dollar if one shows up. And to those who debate tube vs. SS, this is what makes our hobby so much fun! There is a place for both although I must admit, tubes are my passion. Take care, Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpsFan Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Colter that means we are almost vintage squared??? (or maybe doubled???) [] [] Bill Fishing for a late "Happy Birthday" Bill (Silversport)? Actually I'm almost vintage squared, you on the other hand have several years yet, enjoy them! BTW, if this was just vintage SS gear, I suppose you or I could offer up some of our Nak gear, althought I'm out of receivers and into separates now. And for some vintage analog, I could offer up a Pioneer CT-F850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I remember those decks...especially the "blown away" tape in it...yes, Yamaha is good (I had a CA-610II integrated amp...very nice) and have a Nakamichi SR-2...nice AND a TA-2A...nicer (IMHO)...both STASIS technology from Nelson Pass...

wstrickland1 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Man, can anyone come up with a Technics SA-1000?? http://www.vintagetechnics.com/receivers/sa1000.htm All I can say is GOOD LUCK. I've been looking for one for a long time, although I have now given up. I did score a really nice fully functional and cosmetically excellent SA-800 on ebay. I use it to drive a pair of LaScalas. I can't get that thing much past "3" and the output is deafening. That particular "SA" line of receivers have a very pure, clean sound. The 1000 would be such a waste on Heritage stuff. May be great on a pair of RF 7a though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
