Hello from Elkton, MD. Came across this great forum when looking for information on my Nakamichi RX-202 and RX-505. Yes I'm the guy who saved all of his cassettes from his childhood, every CD I've ever purchased and owns an IPOD but would rather spin vinyl now that I've gotten back into that as well.
Current Setup
Kenwood KR-V6050 (Receiver)
Nakamichi RX-202 (Cassette)
LXI Series CD Player (Purchased New 1988, Sentimental Value)
Audio-Techna AT-LP 120 (Turntable, new this year love it!)
KLH 1000 Series Model AV2000 (Speakers)
Looking to go more old school for a receiver and some nice old speakers to really make my hair metal rock. I wanna feel this music again. Lets just say my music collection has each album on Vinyl, CD and Cassette and for groups I really like there are multiple copies of each. My favorite bands are Stryper, White Lion, Sleeze Beez, Queensryche, Metallica, Megadeth, Danger Danger, etc....you get the point.
My budget on a new system can go up to $1,500.00. I have a Nakamichi Rx-505 that needs a complete restoration and I realize that's $500 in itself. Basically looking for some ideas on a kick ass receiver. Really like the looks for the old Marantz and Kenwoods I've seen on here. Also need to get some really nice speakers that I can appreciate the screaming guitars and just screaming of the vocals as well. I wanna feel the kick drum right in my face.
Looking forward to learning a bunch on here and putting together a really nice looking vintage system that sounds like I remember the music when I was 16.
