    Sherwood Receivers?

    I had an S-7310. Great receiver. Not only did it have a nice warm sound as other have stated, but it compared very favorably to my Pioneer SX-828. And, the tuner was no slouch either.

    Sherwood SEL 200 Worth

    Not interested in what they sold for new; only what they are worth today.

    Kenwood KR-5400 vs Pioneer SX-828 vs Onkyo A-7

    I have an SX-828. While I don't have a KR-5400 I do have a KR-7400. Both units are very nice and work very well. The SX-828 sounds much better.

    When It Sounds Oh So Good.

    There were few things more gratifying after a hard day's work then a stiff drink and getting lost in the music. Now that I'm retired and am freed of the daily grind I am happy nothing has changed.

    This is the kind of crap that is on my local CL...

    I know some sellers (and not just limited to electronics) who believe "mint" is used to describe the cosmetics of something regardless of the inner workings. Some years ago I looked at an early sixties Ford Galaxie. The car sat in a heated garage for years, and with the exception of dust and...

    Is "Concert Hall Realism" Really Necessary?

    My home set up is definitley not surround but arranged for stereo. Regardless of whatever receiver/integrated amp I use with different speakers I appreciate the sound qualities from these arrangements. I tend to get lost in the music and am very happy.

    This is the kind of crap that is on my local CL...

    If the seller has not plugged it in how does he/she know what actual condition it is in? "Mint" is so overly used.

    Best FM stations in your area

    I used to listen to 101.1 when I lived in Sterling, VA. Big plus for that station.

    Speakers cables does really make a diference?

    I use a roll of thin gauge wires (20/22m) bought from Radio Shack years ago. Works great.

    Lately I've Been Into Lo-Fi!

    Love this post. I have an old Sony transistor radio bought in the mid 1980s. I used all around the house, mostly for background music. I remember using it a lot doing outside work around the house. The thing has lots of paint splatter from two house paintings. One hell of a workhorse.

    KA-8004 and KA-7100 Arrivals

    I would use the 8005 plugged into my receivers' aux jacks over the years but it just isn't the same as using Kenwood's integrateds.

    KA-8004 and KA-7100 Arrivals

    Earlier this month I got my first integrated, a KA-7100. I heard a lot of good things about the model and since I have never had an integrated I bought this item from the auction site. The unit sounds great. It is a bit neutral in sound as mentioned on this board but still provides a clear...

    Pioneer SX-828, Sherwood s-7310 Heaven

    Is this it? I popped the lid. I have no idea what I am looking at. Sorry for the less than stellar pic. Edit: Upon further research on this site it seems what I have in the pic is something with a handle that is used to cover the device the MC transformer plugs into. It appears I do not...
