Old amplifiers

The old Pioneer also looks good

pic is too large to post here and I don't know how to resize

i usually hate the way old amps look, all covered in knobs! that looks pretty mint though, better without the volume knob lit up.

mine is standard version (without the volume knob lit up) ... I have a slightly newer one without the wood top and sides ... it actually looks better in real lie than what you see in the pic... a bit large though

This thread got me interested/thinking.

So I dusted down some early/mid 80's equipment - NAD 3140 (£320) amp and Philips CD104 (£249), and connected them up to a pair of B&W 801's (£1075). Hate to think how much those prices would equal today; with inflation.

Let them warm up for about an hour and played a couple of discs. An excellent combination of warmth, emotion and dynamics - if a little lacking in fine detail.

I found myself trying many more CD's over about 5 hours, thoroughly enjoyable and probably worth peanuts.

When I have a bit more time I'll try connecting it up to my TEAC tape deck and, to keep in era, try it with an 80's master.
