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

I was posting over on AK in a nonsensical (but fun) thread on new year's resolutions when someone posted about finally thinning his collection of vintage monster receivers...and I responded half jokingly that MY resolution was to finally get one and how much etc etc...Well, I know two guys that are keeping their new year's resolutions!
I just forked over a fair price for an all-original Yamaha CR-2020 and in a few days it will arrive (we hope in one piece) at my doorstep. Of course, it needs all the service bulletin work done and probably all the usual capacitor upgrades, which I will start doing immediately.
It will be the centerpiece of my vintage system currently a Denon PMA-750. Thiel 04a speakers and a Sony PS-X5 turntable.
I think eventually I will upgrade the turntable to either something higher up on the vintage scale or a new SL1200.. time will tell.
