Ditto, but only after restoration. G9K preferred because I listen to a lot of radio and the G9K has two Front End RF amps, like high-end separate tuners, for much better sensitivity and selectivity. IMHO, really outstanding performance.Sansui G-8000 or G-9000. Either would do.
This was a number of years ago seven to be exact.While these were very good units I have heard better since then,mainly newer Yamahas. Keep in mind it is all subjective.Not saying they are the best period but from what I heard probably a Luxman R-117 or a Sansui 9090db.
I have heard quite a few and the best to me is the Marantz 2245 followed by the Marantz model 18
I've never heard a 2245 but love the sound of my 2270. Do you hear much difference between the two?
It's interesting that you prefer the 45 over the 18. For me, I'd give the edge to both the 18 and 19 for "best I've heard" but the 2270 won't be going anywhere for a long, long time.
