Budget thanks for the reply Nando, I mentioned the price more to get an idea if it was reasonable. $200 isn't my budget max, although I do enjoy a bargain as much as the next guy. I agree that to have a R2R just because it looks so cool in the cabinet really would fly in the face of the search...

Deck sideways Is it practical to operate a Reel To Reel set on it side. If so that opens a lot more models for me to consider. Ric:glasses2:

Akai GX-4000D WhatWhat does anyone have to say about this deck. It has the dimensions I need and is from repeatable guy $250 asking price Ric:glasses2:

The avatar certainly has some attributes to conceder.

That isn't an option in that the turntable is on a sliding shelf that rolls out about 2" to allow the dust cover to open. But I guess I could ditch the cover and put the tape deck in that spot. I know I never see a dust cover on any high end set up anyway. Not that my gear is high end...

High Dollar? Yes! Looking around and I see that one of these units will be north of $300. I saw a nice one with a wood case box that was $500. I have been getting all my components at very reasonable rates, but one of those I had to have repaired and that brought the price up. So I am hoping...

Yes yes That looks good! Nice big meters. I Like it. Is there and availability of new Hi Fi tapes for RtoR? I'm on the hunt now. R:glasses2:

Cool Kenwood That Kenwood looks interesting. What are the specs on that? :glasses2:

output breakup :confused1: I have been noticing some breakup in the right speaker pretty early on after I got the 5000 online. this happened with all inputs Phone, tape, CD etc. At first it seamed like it must be the volume control, then I thought it was the balance control as it seemed to...

Orange, I was just responding to the post of Master Tasuke quoted below. R:glasses2:

not sure going over the speaker cones with common furniture polish is a good practice. Are they paper cones? Paper and oil not a good mix.

All Set Up Thought I would wrap up this thread saying this was a defiant upgrade for my system. The sound is more level in output through the spectrum which has the low, lows clean, tighter and louder The highs more apparent even to my old ears. Also it looks good, real good in my cabinet. Big...

All Hooked up I stayed with the wires that I have been using two systems on 16 ga and 0ne on 14. This Sansui 5000X is impressive! I replaced an Mitsubishi I bought in the 80s for my studio. Have been using it off and on for the last 30 years. Never had the first problem. Well today I found out...

OK Thanks guys. I'm no audiophile Just a Vintage Hi Fi Hobbyist.

While pulling my old receiver to bring my Sansui 5000x online I noticed that I had different gage wire on the A & B Speaker Systems. Looking for some thought on what effect wire gage has on performance. Just like to say though that I am talking about speaker wire not audiophile speaker cables...
