Hey all, Im a newbie to the vintage 'market' but always had a deep love of music and electronics. I picked up a sansui turntable and technics receiver a few months back and really started (and love) the classic vinyl hunt at flea markets, yard sales and record shops. Ive read tons of posts on here and love the site even though it is feeding a growing addiction, which has expanded into hunting for additional equipment, needed or not, just to tinker, fix and use. That leads me to my question, someone gave me a free sears solid state receiver. This one i had to take to a repair shop, where the owner told me it is definitely a Pioneer receiver made for Sears. The receiver model is # 570.74100201 and I'm wondering if anyone ever heard of this?
Hi Folks. I am new in the Forum, but not in the HiFi vintage world. I am from Milan, Italy and I am an happily retired old man. So a lot of time di devote to one passion of mine.
My last toy is a class AB ampli Pioneer A27. I had a lot expectations about it, but, at the moment is not making me happy. Speakers are Kef LS50 or ProAc D25.
Is anybody familiar with this 26kg beast?
Thanks.
Thanks, Mr. Wally.
My ears are becoming more and more compliant with A27...
Clearly it has to be very hot to perform according its reputation. And that takes hours.
Do you agree?
As for an introduction, I've been around some time but never too late to tell something.
I used to work with hifi from 1978 till 1996 professionally. Repair, selling, modifications.
I've been through a lot of amps, from Sansui to Dynaco, from Philips tube amps to Audio Note.
I'm now back to the hobby, starting mainly with some older set.
I use a HK 700 series set, with very hard to drive HTD speakers ( made in Holland) and a Luxman PD-284 TT with Denon DLsomething stylus.
I do have several other stuff, mostly early 70's British amps, Sharp, Luxman, Kenwood, Sansui, Rotel, Pioneer etc etc.
For me it's just fun to have them. From my first bought amp Pioneer SA-5300 to my latest aquired Superscope A-245.
I do have some knowledge. Maybe I can answer some questions.
