What are you playing your home music on?
« on: February 20, 2012 - 05:02:26 PM »
I bought my kenwood receiver in 1978 for $550.  That was more than a 40 hour paycheck for me.  I'm still cranking out the tunes on my kenwood kr-9600 34 years later!   :2thumbs:

I'm curious if anyone still has their stereo system from the 70's or 80's.  Marantz, Kenwood, Fisher, McIntosh, Pioneer, Technics....etc.

I finally replaced my old unit a few years ago but it finally took a crap and I had no choice.   :eek4:

Good thread.   :2thumbs:

I have an MCS (modular component system) stereo. A friend told me MCS was made by Technics, but I never verified that.  An Akai cassette tape deck that was an upper end unit at the time.  A Technics direct drive turn table. Direct drive was relatively new at the time. All works well. This was 1978 also.    :ylsuper:


 

 

Umm, it looks like I need to do some dusting.    :misbehaving:

I have an old (late 80's)Technics Receiver for the garage with some 10" floor standing 3 way speakers that rock.  Sounds way better than the new Yamaha I run for the house system.

Still use my Pioneer SX-950 I got new when I was a teen, hooked up to some Realistic T-120 speakers that I replaced the woofers in years ago. I did just pick up a set of Pioneer towers from the local Goodwill store for 15 bucks. The Pioneer still rocks but I now feed this beast with a laptop and about 9 1/2 gigs of music.
