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

RE: Vintage SS Japanese receivers.... the time is past?

There are a bunch of older units that are worth looking at if you want to go that route-
Pioneer has many followers - the gear was well build originally and usually does not need too much "replaced"
there are a few Yamaha fans here - and they will readily sing the praises (I have purchased an older Yamaha for my father- he is very happy)
The Kenwood kit seem to be in third place - though they had some of the best tuners of the period-
The Luxman equipment can be good if it is not one of the too complicated models - retractable face plate, etc.

There are some other 'house' brands that were made in Japan - MCS comes to mind - that have some redeeming aspects - but i have no experience with them -


Happy Listening
