In the mid 80s I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic dt880 Studio headphones. Got rid of them after 25 years, they were pretty much worn out. I would however, like to compare them with my Focals but, they cost more now than mine did new and, every pair I have seen, unsurprisingly, looks very well worn.

We had the earlier superb sounding SU-V5 (1982 release).
Which got stolen 2 years later, and then replaced it with its equivalent replacement, even better sounding SU-V4X (1985 release).

You'd have to find replacement ICs, the SU-V4X actually lasted us about 19 years, by which time Panasonic here had long gone by 2004, and we gave up after one 3rd party repair attempt.

I'd like this again my first dolby digital AV Receiver. Technics SA-DA 8. Too old for HDMI. Ended up in the cellar hooked up to my son's PC when I got my Yamaha receiver in 2008. It lasted a few years then went pop

I (quite briefly) had a Technics SL-1210 MkV, which I wish I had kept, and I'd love to have one again, though my AT-LP5X is very good. Other than that, I've been back and forth with a few 'nostalgia' items over the years, and it has never quite worked out. One of the systems that worked out best for me was NAD C521BEE, C325BEE and Mordaunt-Short MS902i, and where I have landed now is very similar but better (probably mostly due to the PSBs), so my intention is to hold now.

My dad had one of these in the 70s/80s. I always liked it.
