Well worth the 30 minute wait to get in.I bought the Sansui 7070 receiver for $40. and the Marantz TT510 Turntable for $10.I have them temporarily hooked up now listening to them,both are in excellent shape and sound fantastic.Now i need to decide where i am going to put this,maybe change out the Sony receiver and Pioneer turntable in one of my living rooms.Also bought some pocket knives for $2.,a pretty good morning.
Mike you are not going to believe this but I was looking at my own old Sansui in your picture...except mine had the silver case.
And at those prices, it was an absolute steal. Folks are paying big dollars for turntables around here because vinyl is coming back into vogue with audiophiles.
Congrats. It must be Deja Vu
I am currently driving a Rotel amp, and a Stanton T90 USB (to digitize my old vinyl) and JVC double tape deck (used to dub my music...crude multi tracking) through my old Sansui speakers...for my own vinyl and old tapes
For my CDs I actually have a couple of the BOSE Wave units I picked via my Amex card points...great sound with a small footprint.
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
yes John,that was a steal.When i got home i looked it up on the pc and saw most old ones like this sell around $300 in good condition for the receiver.I tried that digitizing my vinyl one day,it takes too long then i noticed that most of my cd's were the same as my albums anyway.It sounds like you have a descent rig to play your stuff on.
I still have lots of good, rare vinyl, like Go and Annette Peacock in Jazz, Beatles LPs on the original Apple label, Thick as a Brick, newspaper and all, and other assorted oddities.
LPs were awesome, CDs are awesome...we always knew vinyl wasn't going anywhere. I expect there are folks out there with 8 track players and 8 track cassettes who keep them as a collectors item or because they like them.
The only thing is the inconvenience of having to get up and change sides and discs...but hey, no le hace
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
yeah John,the good old stuff like The Beatles and Stones are very hard to find in nice condition,also old blues albums just can't be found it seems,at least in my area.I have that Tull [Thick As A Brick]album with the newspaper on vinyl and also have it on cd,what a fantastic lp that is.Mike
