The receiver 'Power Wars'

Elite-ist · May 17, 2011

A true classic Sansui receiver, Robert. You are one of the few who hung onto their receivers from the 70's. Word is you may be expecting a couple of more classics to join the Sansui bought from a very esteemed member.

Hi Nando,

Good news travels fast....

Can't wait to see the new member of the family (SX-850), now I just need to find or build a place for them. Not to worry as there is still the kitchen table!

Yes, the Sansui has been a very good unit. The volume control is starting to show it's age however. I have always tended to buy nice things and then hang onto them forever, something my Grandpa taught me that stuck.

My dad told me" Son, don't be afraid to buy the best, you CAN"T regret it!"

And other words of wisdom my dad passed down to me, which doesn't seem to sink in with this younger generation, " Look after what you have because you may not be able to afford to replace it."

And what did Lee pass onto his son: "Always take 10 strides back before you light the thing, and be sure to hit the deck!"

RTP, I'll get a photo of it tonight, its buried by some xers. I can give a hint, "cherrie" given to me by a Campbell County Rancher for helping on his water well. Ask nando about my Cherries.

In the short time I've known Lee, he proudly professed he lost his cherry at age 14 to a classmate. I haven't got a clue why he would volunteer that, but I replied, "No big deal, I was having my pick of the married women while boys his age were playing spin-the-bottle.

Keep it up guys and I'll be splitting another thread into General LeeFoolery forum, or would that be the General NandoFoolery forum? :cyclops:

Sorry, back on track. I know Lee is adept at keeping these old receivers in better than factory-fresh condition. There isn't anything I believe Lee would sell to a member that wouldn't be in #1 condition. He sent me a Pioneer SG-9500 equalizer which was in flawless condition and threw in a mild servicing to ensure it would last.

Now nando, i'll have you know my Mom was way ahead of her time. When i was 14 she sent me to her best friends house for 2 days, yep she was a hottie, Calie was her name. her only instruction from Mom was" Make sure he don't turn out like his Dad" Man , two days of Calie was like..............................................................

Post what you want. Just toss in a Pioneer, Sansui, Kenwood, Hitachi, Toshiba, Yamaha, Nikko, Rotel once in awhile so my forum thread scanning software gets fooled into think the thread is still on track. :cyclops:

Elite-ist · May 17, 2011

OK... now I want moderator priveleges so I can shut Lee down. He is flat out bragging, Christ All McIntosh!

He's just a flippin' YaMaHa :alien:

Like i said, Mom was WAY AHEAD of her time.

I know this is an old thread, but I see no one noticed this either(I think?) saying Marantz 2600 with pics of a 2500?
The marantz at 400wpc@4ohms, what was the Technics @ 4ohms(I missed it somewhere) :bootyshake:

Great observation, now if we could just find a conclusion around here we could all go home.....

BTW--Welcome to Phoenix..

Thank you, stuwee, for that confirmation of my opinion! I had always held back from buying one of those Super-A JVC's for that very reason, even though I liked their sound. I did have a something-or-orther-901 JVC amp for a while, and it had NO linear pots, but it had other problems, good sound was not among the problems - 120 watts/channel. If I had it to do over, it would have gone in the shop...

It's nice to see this thread revitalized. Looking back, I didn't have an idea during my past posts within this thread that I would finally acquire a Pioneer SX-1980 receiver. But I have one now and it will last me a long time.

I did not realize Marantz made something to compete with the 1980.
