i am tired of a computer being the center of my musical world. over the years i stopped listening to music to relax, instead, it became the background to other things, mostly done on a computer.
i'm looking to pickup a vintage receiver that has enough power for the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer floor speakers (on my wish-list), has a great, warm sound, is pleasing to the eye (very subjective), and can handle my Technics SL-1200mk2, a multi-disc CD player, and stereo audio from my Raspberry-Pi based XBMC media center, and a tape deck (i has some great dj mixes!).
i'm drawn to the look of certain Pioneer SX series models and Kenwood KR x400 and x600 series. clean, simple lines and a lovely blue tuner display section. pure heaven.
i don't crave a system that i can crank to 11, i'm apartment bound for the next few years and keeping the peace is important. i'm looking for a clear sound that really lets the music come to life but not be a burden to my neighbors.
i listen to a variety of music but mainly early synthpop (anything on Mute) and deeper acid infused electronic music (Plastikman, Pete Namlook, Carbon Based Lifeforms).
my budget is as close to $100.00 as i can get, but if it makes sense to spend a little more, than so be it. this is my first step into this hobby and this receiver will most likely go into my bedroom as i learn and seek out other vintage receivers.
