I’m the original owner of a Marantz 2500 receiver I bought in 1978. It has the original plastic cutout protective for the face plate and has been serviced for scratchy pots about every five years with upgraded LED for the Tuner lights. It looks like the day I bought it with a solid custom walnut case that mimics the original Marantz case that was walnut Veneer. I have the original Manuel. Also a Marantz 6300 turntable in same condition. Completely original. 9:35

[@ER-qb1nk]

In the 70’s, there was a chain of catalog showrooms called Best Products. They had very few products on display, but the did have an impressive audio room with some the heavy hitters of 70’s hi -fi, Pioneer, Sansui, Kenwood receivers, turntables and reel to reels, including entire Pioneer rack systems. It was truly a hidden gem.

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

I remember a BEST Products out on Whitehead Road near Security Boulevard in Baltimore County, Maryland. You had to buy full price cash or credit at check out and be a member of the Best Products club BUT the deals were great on high quality Pioneer, Sansui & Audio Gear. If you were lucky during Christmas you could get a sweet low powered Marantz 2215 Receiver.

[@timwalsh715]

I bought a Sansui 9090 receiver from Best in Phoenix, Az back in the day. I remember the days when I pushed a pair of Cerwin Vegas hard, playing Pink Floyd's "The Wall" on the Technics platter. Had to put some weight (a penny or 2) on the tone arm . . .@@AUTISTICLYCAN

I am surprised you didn't include the Sansui 8 Deluxe. I bought one in 1974 and still have it. Many considered this the best sounding receiver that Sansui ever built. It was sold as the "engineers receiver" because Sansui gave the engineers free reign to design it.

[@Trance88]

I wonder how much my Technics SA-200 would've fetched today had I still had it. I owned a near mint condition one from 2012 to 2019. I should've just kept it because all the vintage amps I purchased afterwards had issues with capacitors or transistors, and then I just gave up on vintage amps all together, because I don't like working on vintage electronics nor do I have space to work on them. It sucks. I miss back 10-15 years ago when this equipment all still worked on its original components. Now that all this equipment is over 40 years old, the electrolytic capacitors and other components are expiring/aged out. Now my 90's stuff is the same age as the 70's stuff when I started collecting vintage gear. I hate the aging process.

Unfortunately my system was stolen ( pretty sure by my house mates in California ). But I was bitten by the bug and went to work in a high-end stereo shop later on and ended up with even better equipment. Including a pair of John Bauer’s active ones.

It never occurred to me (mostly because it never occurred to my parents) that some things might become “collectible.” I had a component system with an Akai cassette deck, Sansui Receiver, a Technics turntable and Advent Speakers. I don’t remember any of the model numbers because I pawned it all (except for the speakers) in a financial pinch around 1984. Makes me a little sick, but you did what you gotta do. I shudder to recall the things my folks sold in garage sales for like a quarter. Oh. I think the Advents were just called “the Advent Loudspeaker.” One tweeter failed and I tried in vain for years to find a replacement but never could. To be hones I don’t recall what eventually happened to them. Probably let them go in a move. I moved a LOT. The walnut veneer & molding was nice on those.

[@ptownmusicroom580]

@@LennyFlorentine that is difficult to say . The Yamaha is so impressive. Size and the clean design and the dark cabinet. And the sound is way different than my Marantz. I have to go with the Marantz though because it is a quad receiver and I have a quad setup. When I play my quad pressing of Dark Side of the Moon, the Yamaha simply can’t replicate that. Also when I had the yamaha setup in the main listening my wife didn’t like that monster, because it didn’t fit in the shelf and had to sit on top. The HK730 was always a backup receiver but totally sounds amazing. Warm sound and it’s paired with some older KEF bookshelf speakers. But doesn’t compare to the Marantz or Yamaha

[@richardelliott8352]

the marantz equipment with the built in oscilloscope is such a strong feature, it spoiled me , because the display was so useful , made setting up a turntable child's play, because the needle output was displayed on the tube in real time, correctness was easy. The tube was multipurpose on a receiver, beside the pre-amplifier output displays, it also showed the wave shapes coming into the radio tuning section, with perhaps the radio tuner multipath distortion display as the most visually entertaining, being somewhat dragon like it the radio waveforms displays at times, although the channel separation displays were right up there also, notably in quadraphonic. the quad stuff wasn't popular, yet excelled when switched over into a darlington push pull bridged amp for double the rated quad power . Pare that up with a nice JBL speaker, and you'll be covered.

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

YES if you have a popular vintage audio receiver it MIGHT be worth good money. As Lenny says much depends on condition and desirability of a receiver. Premiums are paid for power in RMS Watts Per Channel. Any 1970's silver faced receiver over 130 Watts Per Channel is a "Monster" thus worth more. Known vintage receiver issues like unobtainable replacements for corroded or dying custom parts (IC boards & black legged transistors) make them less desirable. Most Pioneer SX-XX50 and SX-XX80 Receivers fetch good money. Most Marantz Receivers are golden. Most things McIntosh are Epic. I've sold great receivers via Just Audio 50\50 Consignment. 70's era vintage receiver Brand, Condition, Quality, Model History & WPC Power are key to its value!

Well I had at one point a Yamaha I think a CR620, that I didn't keep. Almost regret that except I didn't care much for the sound but the quality of the receiver was great! One that I did regret selling wasn't a receiver but was a pair of Vocal Master speakers made by Shure. At the time I didn't have room to keep them cuz they are huge, but now I wish I had them. Terrible for music but actually decent for vocals. I am keeping my Adcom and Hafler amps, those are not leaving my collection.

[@danielknepper6884]

Yeah I've got a cr820 Yamaha and I don't really care for the sound of it. Although I have a cr-840 and I like the sound of that one. Plus it looks cool at night.

What about JVC and Hitachi or Quad, what about Linn?

A couple of years back I was watching an eBay auction of a Technics SA1000 in mint condition in the original box and everything. It ended up selling for around $35k and the buyer flaked. Soooooooo typical of eBay.

[@joebilotti8856]

How much for a Yahmaha CA-800 & CR-800!

[@kwd-kwd]

asking prices are sometimes ( much ) higher than actual SOLD prices. if you pay 35K for any marantz receiver you are stupid. sorry, they are nice pieces, but 35K? no way.

[@danielknepper6884]

Yeah prices were a tad High. But who knows in a couple of years they'll probably be even higher.

[@bblimediamostlyspeakers]

I'll buy it if it's free! Most of my collection was that price.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Right! I'm glad someone else pointed this out. Thank you!

[@LennyFlorentine]

We have something coming up soon that addresses that exact issue

This has nothing to do with this video but I'm excited 🤓🤓🤓 i believe my OG sniffer picked up a trail of a nakamichi 1000 🤗🤗🤗 ✌️

[@LennyFlorentine]

Oooh thats fun!! Let us know how it goes! That has everything to do with this video

[@terrybeavan4264]

I can't imagine trading my Nakamichi Dragon, but if I were to, any of the 1000 cassette decks would be high on the list, the only others on that list I'd even consider being the Tandberg 3014 and Technics RS-9900US (which really probably can't even compete in terms of its performance but, well, DAMN just look at it!). Hope it works out for you!

[@bigaldallas]

why does Harman Kardon not get the love. Citation and the twin powered integrated amps and receivers for example. I have a HK A402 integrated twin

[@yinzer8192]

The Advent 300. The best sounding receiver bar none!

[@Ducklafied]

where is the Onkyo line like the tx-8500 & the tx-8500mkII you did not say anything about this line.
