Receivers and Integrated Amplifiers

Sansui 5000X — $925

I love the sound of these Sansui 5000 series receivers so much that it pains me to sell this one. But I already have a 5000a so keeping this 5000x as well would just be greedy. Gloriously warm and tube like, this 60 watt/channel beauty can handle most any speaker you could throw at it. Classic styling, real wood case, this is drool-worthy stuff. This has the updated F6013 driver boards, new lamps and is in gorgeous shape. Fill your home with the sound of vintage circa 1971 hi fidelity with this beauty.

Marantz 1040 Amplifier — $495  Sold

Here’s a little guy with a serious pedigree. The Marantz 1040 Console Stereo Amplifier, made from 1974 to 1978. Features 20 smooth and glorious (and likely understated) watts per channel. For being a small footprint unit, it by no means skimps on the features with all sorts of source options for the tape outs and channel selections.  If you’ve been wondering about why Marantz is highly revered in vintage audio circles, this is a gateway to their classic gear. In beautiful shape with a hard copy of the owner’s manual.

Onkyo Integra A-8190 integrated amplifier — $325

Want loads of sweet, clean power? This beast can give you 100 watts per channel, so it’ll handle any speakers with ease. Heavy duty build, excellent EQ options. Phono stage has a moving coil option, so you know they put some effort into it. Onkyo gear from the 80s never fails to impress me.

Dayton Audio HTA200 Hybrid Stereo Tube Amplifier — $449

Dayton Audio HTA100 Hybrid Stereo Tube Amplifier — $299

I’m a reseller for Parts Express. While they aren’t vintage, these are a great value and will take EVERYTHING as a source! Phono, Bluetooth, optical, USB, you name it. I can vouch for the sound quality — my HTA100 lives at my vacation home. The HTA100 is rated at 50 watts/channel can easily handle any bookshelf and even some 3-ways. The HTA200 is the “monster receiver” equivalent at 100 watts/channel and can handle all the big boy speakers with ease. And they look cool. Brand new in box with manufacturer’s warranty.

 

JVC VR-5505 — $175  Sold

Want to dip your toes in the vintage mid-70s audio pool without breaking the bank? Classic styling, wood panels and a modest 12 watts of power, this would pair well with the Dayton Audio Classics listed below for a lovely sounding system. 

Sansui TU-505 Tuner — $135

Gorgeous piece from Sansui’s classic early ’70s era. Real wood panels and black face. Tested and works very well.  Please note this is an AM/FM tuner only — will also require an amplifier.

 Sony STR-V25 — $125

25 watt/channel Sony receiver circa 1979-80. Solid build quality. This unit has brand new output transistors. Some cosmetic wear on the control buttons and knobs.

Denon DRA-350 — $125 Sold

Silverface Denon from 1984. 36 watts/channel, typical solid Denon build quality and musicality.

Onkyo TX-910 — $125  Sold

Solid 45 watts/channel receiver circa 1993. Onkyo never had a period where their quality slipped, and this receiver is an example of that consistency. With remote.

Onkyo TX-8211 — $125  Sold

Solid 50 watts/channel receiver made from 1997 to 2006. The engineers at Onkyo were smart enough to leave phono stages in the stereo receivers during the peak of the CD era. With remote.

Tape Decks

Nakamichi CR-1A — $295

Solid 2-head deck from Nakamichi. The CR series have a gear drive, less likely to fail than earlier models with idler tires. Dolby B and C.  Great condition and working perfectly.

Technics RS-TR212 — $100

Excellent, fully functional dual cassette deck from 1991. Dolby B and C. I have calibrated the pitch on both decks so that they’re spot on.

Onkyo TA-RW313 — $125   Sold

Another winner from Onkyo. Fully functional dual cassette deck from the late ’80s, with Dolby B,C and HX Pro. Looks great, solid build quality, works perfectly and sounds excellent.

Disc Players

Have you heard the news? CDs are making a comeback! 

With the addition of a modern DAC — many of which are ridiculously affordable — you can have what would’ve been considered a top-tier Redbook system just a few years ago for a very reasonable price. And the media is still (for now) easily available in thrift stores everywhere. I offer a three year warranty on any of these. I’ll either fix it, replace it, or refund it, so buy with confidence.

Pioneer Elite DV 45A — $135

“Universal” CD/SACD/DVD-Audio/DVD-Video player from 2003. The “Elite” was Pioneer’s premium line. This has 192kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown audio DACs. Or you can use the optical or coax outs for your own DAC. Note: to run DVD Audio or Video, this will require a TV for menus. 

Yamaha CDX-730 — $125

Excellent “Natural Sound” single disc player from late 80s/early 90s. Burr Brown DAC, plus an optical out if you want to run your own. 

Sony CDP-670 — $125

Quality Sony single disc player from 1989 with a Burr Brown DAC and an optical out. Brand new drawer drive belt. 

Sony CDP-CE375 — $125 Sold

Sony sold TONS of these between 2001 and 2010. 5 CD carousel unit with disc exchange system so the music never stops. Optical out to run your own DAC. Brand new belts for years more reliable service. Comes with remote and manual.

Sony DVP-NS500V — $95

If you’ve ever wondered what the skinny is on SACDs, here’s your chance to find out. This circa 2001  DVD/SACD/CD player was Sony’s highly regarded entry level SACD player. Has optical and coaxial outs for your own DAC.

Denon DCD-425 — $80 Sold

This was Denon’s budget single disc CD player in the late ’90s. Typical solid Denon build quality. Features an optical out for running your own DAC.  

Speakers

Klipsch KG2 — $350

Two-way (8″ woofer) with a 10″ passive radiator in beautiful cabinets. Typical Klipsch (excellent) sound. Warm and refined. Will work fine with lower power amps/receivers. See a rather tech-heavy review here: https://www.hifi-classic.net/review/klipsch-kg2-384.html

Coral BX-1201 — $200

6 (!) way speakers featuring a powerful 12″ woofer. Gorgeous cabinets with 2-way grill inserts (plain cloth or lattice). You will want some serious power for these guys.

Infinity Interlude IL10 — $175  Sold

These 6.5″ two-ways were considered giant killers back in the day (early 2000s) for being affordable, having rich bass and a remarkably flat frequency response. They still sound amazing for the price. Bi-amp capable as well. These come in sumptuous dark coffee brown cabinets. 15″ x 8.5″ x 12″

Dayton Audio B652 Classic — $80

I’m a reseller for Parts Express. These are a remarkable value in bookshelf speakers and nice looking to boot. 6.5″ woofer. Solid build, clear sound (silky tweeter) and super affordable. New in box with wires and manufacturer’s warranty.
