Vintage Home Audio

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I came across a web-site (http://www.vintagehomeaudio.com/web/Pages/Products.aspx) offering NOS (!) vintage equipment (mostly solid state, 70s or 80s vintage). They presented themselves as a store of completely new mid-fi equipment (JVC, Pioneer, strange Garrard turntables, etc.). Are they real deal? I am wonderign how all this equipment survived new in boxes up to the present day?

There are some items that are interesting to me: JVC XL-Z 1010 CD player (but the price is high - CAD 999.00), Pioneer PL-12DII belt drive TT (CAD 389.00), Lenco L133 T/T (CAD 289.99 - very cheap but is it a real Lenco?), Pioneer SA-8100 amplifier (CAD 799.00), very good AIWA cassette decks, etc.

I asked them a question about the voltage and they said "110v". I asked another question but there is no reply.

They remind me of another seller (an odd-looking guy demonstrating a huge store packed with mid-fi equipment of the same vintage - but no Nakamichi, Luxman, Sansui or Yamaha).

Any comments will be appreciated.
