BEST Vintage Audio Volume 1

Bought some Klipsch floorstanders and as I was loading them up the lady said she had an old receiver and turntable (and a technics CD player) that she'd give me for $20 more. Was definitely happy when I looked at it and discovered it was a perfectly functioning Sansui G-7700 with not a scratch on it. The turntable is a working (and beautifully sounding) Sansui XR-Q9. Best $20 I've ever spent!

Oh this is soooo nice!👍 I bought a new Yamaha CR-620, ran it HARD almost continuously for 4 years (college). Sold it to a Frat boy freshman and he did the same 4 years again. Got it BACK (with original JVC Studio turntable) 10 years later. Still cooking. Only service ever required? New bulb in the slide-rule tuner! Great equipment is worth the investment. Then and… NOW.

Amazing how slick these receivers still look today.

Wow.. what an Amazing stroll through time. It brought back memories of looking through the 1979 fall Crutchfield catalogs.

Lived just outside of Ft. Bragg most my life and all the GI’s would purchase this wonderful stereo equipment overseas and ship it home. The best of times for home music. Bose sounds great but this was so much cooler. Never forget when “The Who” came out with “Quadrophenia”. Needed 4 speakers to have a proper listening experience. Those were the days.

I was stationed in Japan in the AirForce in 1974 and 1975 and boy what a time. The yen was 400 to the dollar and audio equipment was dirt cheap. I had a Pioneer SX 1010, Teac top load cassette, Teac Reel to Reel , Technics direct drive turntable and other stuff. I didn't know to keep it, what a dummy! It literally was the years that Japan dominated the audio equipment market with their top of the line products.

I am 71 and still play a lot of music And am VERY glad a lot of my old friends are going the Bluetooth way. I have Phaze linear series 2 preamp series 2 power amp. Carver thx 35x. Luxman MO-2 Marantz 1200B etc etc. NOTHING compares to the old classic amp and preamps

I was SO jealous of anybody in the early 70s who had a killer sound system. First I had a cheap plastic GE record player. Then I used my paper route earnings and bought one of those suitcase type stereos. It opens up and the turn table comes down and the speakers turn outward. I didn't have the stereo of my dreams until 1977 when I was 19. My parents were flabbergasted when I told them I spent over $800 for an all Pioneer sound system. I didn't have it on for five minutes when my neighbor started pounding on the wall. 😎👍

Love the vintage powerhouses. Took years to find all the Marantz pieces in NM condition but it was worth every single penny. Plus it’s now worth twice what i paid for it without needing one dimes worth of repair. Silver faces forever!!!

Back when stereo was stereo and quality meant something. All beautiful, I want 1 of each. Thanks for the display. 👍👍

These are the type of stereo where you can hear the real definition of music.

Extraordinary pieces of art builded on vintage technology , pure state of art , beautiful treasure's. I love it.

You guys pay attention to detail with Class. AND, what a collection of outstanding Vintage Audio. I mostly collect and restore Vacuum Tube McIntosh. Cheers!

FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISNT AT LEAST ONE SMALL COMPANYmaking a modern replica of a reel-to-reel cassette recorder as was available in the 70s

I got that same Carver TX2 tuner...bought new back in 80s. Got it paired with my original PIoneer C90 and M90 amps...Denon DP59L turntable and Cornwall (1978) speakers. Awesome....

I find it rare not to see an APT Holman here which was one of the best phono stages in 1978, the Technics SA-303 and SA-500 had excellent phono stage also.

😊 happy that I was younger and could appreciate all of this superb equipment.just 💘 loved browsing through all 👍 great catalogs &stereo magazines back then.just 👎 nothing like this anymore.😒

Came for the beautiful picture of amazing old school build quality. Stayed for the awesome knowledge you shared, glad I did

Brings back old memories

I have never been into the monster receivers but i have several of their little brothers.I have Sansui 551,661,5050 and a G2000 plus a Pioneer SX-780 i've owned since high school '79.They are all works of art and oh,that beautiful Sansui sound.

Love the video, I do have the pioneer 1050 and 2 750s. Awesome receivers. 👌

Great trip down memory lane! BUT I was surprised no Setton receivers! Love mine will still blow out my windows!

I had the Pioneer SX 626, received from my parents as a birthday gift when I was 16. Only 26 watts per channel but looked and sounded good, with nice wood cabinet.

The thumbnail for this vid is sooo beautiful. The Akai: gorgeous.

I have rebuilt several of those low watt marantz I think they sound really good.

Wow..amazing....I like it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Lot of thanks for uploading the video.

A lot of work for you guys - but worth it for your followers!! Great job!

Boy, they are cleaned up nice, almost makes me want to buy one.

Such a beautiful sound!!

beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hola soy de Chile y los felicito, disfruto mucho a la distacia viendo estos videos

Wonderful period between 1970-1980

Some of the best music to do with the pics, imo

Absolute thing's of beauty

Wooow,, just Amazing

Muchas felicidades excelente vídeo y muy buena nostalgia saludos desde México

Beautiful!

God this vintage receivers look amazing

Best video on vintage audio, respect..

the best in vintage audio

super sir super collection u r great

I still have a few of these.

I have owned a few of the vintage stereo system and I know that there and a lot of good ones out there but I seem to prefer Pioneer and Sansui for the best bass and reliability thank you for a trip to memory lane !

We loved all those shiny knobs, the heavier they were the more they cost. Until, they got older and all those filter capacitors leaked and them cheap transistors and diodes leaked too. Now, fixing one costs hundreds IF you can get parts and know what to do. And, know what not todo!😊

That's great!

This video repeats itself halfway through. It’s two exact copies of one shorter video for some reason.

I have seen some of them in Stereo Review magazine and dreamt of the day I cloud have one. But now, I am happy with my Sonos.

Amazing vintage receivers

My Marantz 2270 paired with my JBL L-100's is all I'll ever need.

Stationed in Germany in the USAF from '68-'71 or so. Had two Elac Miracord turntables and a Teac 4010s reel to reel running through my baby...a Pioneer SX9000 Receiver to two huge pairs of Sansui 3 ways with a Cassette deck (I forget the make) for good measure. Even had an 8 Track RECORDER! Sold all of it back here in the States when money problems cropped their ugly heads up. Had loads of other stereo gear at various times in the service, but the ones I mentioned were the last to go. Wish I'd been smarter about money so I could still have that gorgeous sounding gear. Sigh. If I ever wandered into your store, you'd probably need dynamite to get me out again! LOL! I even, at one point, had a reel to reel with 4! reels! Miracord, dubbing deck I think, for copying reel tapes.

Espectacular todas estas bellezas. Por mi parte tengo un JVC JR-S200 viejito, muy bueno y unas speakers CS-822 Pioneer más un Marantz 2265B impecable! Decks technics, Jvc, tope de linea fines de los 90 y un Akai Gxc 709D. Aunque no es mucho son Hi-Fi vintage y soy feliz.👍👍

You just can't beat the sound of pioneer and marantz..

So nice 👌

nice! very nice! Top electronic !

Just like exotic cars....wish I was in that era

I sold hi-fi for a couple of big chains in the late '70s. Top brands were Yamaha and Pioneer. Sansui was "Sanscrewi," because it broke often. Sold all my stuff on eBay years ago for crazy money.

My pioneer SA-606 amp bought in 1979 still makes my speakers explode....

I have all vintage equipment, Pioneer RT 701 Reel to Reel, Teac 3300-10 Reel to Reel, Marantz 2220b Receiver, Kenwood KD-2000 turntable, Advent 3 book shelf speakers, if I had room a would get a few more Reel to Reels, they just look and sound so good!

Muito bonitos e som de qualidade e de fazer inveja .

Technics 9600 just wowww 😍😍😍

Hi guy's. Love your store especially the love of the vintage gear. I have a Marantz Model 250m as my daily power amp that replaced my model 15 which developed some faults in a channel and on investigation requires a lot of love and $$'s to fix. My question for you guys is have you had any Marantz Model 15s come through your store and if so what's your thoughts.. Of the 50 or so receivers and separates I've owned nothing sounded as good as it running my B&W's. Cheers Luke

I had a Marantz 2325,125 watts a channel, gyroscopic FM tuner, Walnut Case 4 JBL L-100 Speakers, Girrard Zero 100 C, Audio Technica AT14S Cartridge

Qué viaje tan hermoso al pasado. Es un sueño hecho realidad volver a ver estas auténticas joyas. Hojala pudiera yo tener uno. Nada me haría más feliz que sentir la magia del sonido estereo en un VERDADERO equipo de sonido como estos.

Used to have a AR belt drive turntable Sorry I ever got rid of it Currently using my 30 hold Technics SL 1300 and a Stanton 681 cartridge

Mint Akai Am-2650 ... NICE!

Marantz 2325 owner paired with Klipsch Kg 5.5 It was recently refurbished after losing power in 1997. I couldn't let it go and glad i didnt. So, it's powered up with all lights and functions in working order. A new faceplate is needed, baby steps.

I'm actually using the parametric equalizer that you feature in this video..

All the classic receivers and integrated amps all had tape monitors & some had adapter loops too. No new amps have those.

I really like what you did here

Que cosa mas linda . Hermoso

Marantz, всегда дизайн на высоте!👍 Есть у меня в коллекции пара аппаратов этой фирмы!)

high quality, Japanese tech

works of art the young will never understand

Nice 👍 beautiful.

cool, greetings from Poland

tengo un marantz 2285, es realmente hermoso! tiene unos 20 años conmigo!

Purchased a Marantz 2330BD, a Kenwood turntable, and a pair of Bose 501's back around 1979 while in the Coast Guard. Still have them today, however the receiver does need some work...developed a 60 cycle hum in one channel, and most likely needs a re-cap and cleaning. I also replaced the woofers in the speakers. Does your business do "rebuilds" for customers?

I clicked on this through the "perks" and still getting adds!! GRR!!!

Esos si eran amplificadores, eso si era sonido.

I have couple of direct drive turntables. One os a 1700 an e the other is 1950 changer. Plus i have maybe 400 lps. Stuff from the 50s thrugh 90s and cd player. And tpe decks

I have such stuff at home, it's about my age. That technology hasn't evolved much, in the seventies, everything was already there.

Great presentation. It amazes me how those 1970 and 1980 systems had so much better musicality than today’s stereo systems. I guess the Walkman and now mp3 players killed the audiophile market?

I had the Kenwood KR 5030 and a pair of Bose 501s. Great sound. Also had, still have some AKG headphones that over 40 years old still sound better than anything made today.

Vintage hifi overload........do you offer payment plans? Lol

Any videos on how to clean old receiver and it’s connections

120 watts of power was a lot for a vintage Pioneer receiver made in the 1970s. 1976-77.

Great vid..come and open a shop in the uk

1970년대80년대 일제 파이어니어 (앰프)리시버 한대 곁에 끼고 애지중지한 기억이 있는데, 지금보니 그때가 일본최전성기였구나하게 된다 잃어버린30년 갈라파고스일본 2021현재의일본 격세지감 실감난다 세상참 많이 변했다(85분 시청완료 감사합니당)

Do you now how hard it is to find a decent pair of 3 way speakers? Back in the day, they were practically a staple of every household, nor they're as rare and expensive as platinum.

Дух захватывает от такой прелести..

se me hace la boca agua al ver tanta maravilla que quisiera tener

The youngsters today have streaming and mobile phones and so on but the sound that they think is good has little on what these amazing products produced in the day. I appreciate some streaming is high end quality but look at what they miss out on. These items were not just hardware to play your music but pieces of art to be cherished and admired. In todays throw away society this is not understood, mores the pity.

I like it

Different companies yet they all look so similar.

WOW!!

I've owned every pioneer from the baby 450 all the way to the 1280... an im still trying to find a 1980... I will..

OMG Golden Items

Hola soy de México chulada de equipos
