Re: Vintage Home Audio

Good eye, caminokid. That one is a Pioneer SX-880, 65 watter. Essentially the same as the 850, just the next model which added power meters.

I had an SX-750 for years also. Same, rich, clean, powerful sound. It was 50 watts and would rattle the shingles. I finally gave it away to a cousin, who still uses it every day.

Quite true. There's a warmth and richness to vinyl that never translated to CD. I read somewhere the other day that records are making something of a minor comeback, with a private label or two beginning to press some new ones. Wouldn't that be cool . . . .
