[@ole9421]

I will never stop being amazed about the quantity of vintage gear that's still around and just waiting to be brought back to life.

[@TriAmpHiFi]

I bought the Sansui T-60 in black. Useless, but very pretty. 🔈🔉🔊

[@danmcginity1371]

Just picked up a Mint Pioneer RT-707 at a tag sale for $75.00, I collect the Spec series from Pioneer. I really like the videos you posts!

[@LennyFlorentine]

Wow what a deal!!!

[@PerfDayToday]

6:45 Heh- I still have my similar Yamaha HP-1 headphones from the mid-1960s and also a pair of the HP-2s phones. Boy- your video was quite the field trip! Unbelievable collection.

[@agrippa1234]

I remember trying a pair of classic Stax electrostatics; huge, felt like I was wearing a pair of shoe boxes but geez were they crispy fun.

[@drwhoeric]

I recognized the 873A Barcelona speakers right away as the Altec Voice Of The Theater speakers they developed in the early 1970's. Those 15.5 inch Woofs are killer but the horns have a narrow 10 degree throw for what they were originally intended for. They are however good in a home theater environment.

[@LennyFlorentine]

I want to see a full surround system of only them

[@drwhoeric]

@@LennyFlorentine I agree. Clearly one of the best speakers ever made, but will take up a lot of space. Even the two Altec Voice Of The Theater model 1234 set that I managed could shake an auditorium with the . You need a lot of power to properly drive them though. I borrowed the set for my wedding that we held in a mid-sized theater and they were perfect.

[@RWL2012]

​@@LennyFlorentineI'm just imagining an LCR trio of them behind an acoustically transparent projection screen

[@m.a.quashem1989]

Thanks for the video on Vintage Audio equipments.

[@LennyFlorentine]

No problem!

[@aetopus1228]

This is kind of like watching a cooking show when you're hungry.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Thats a great analogy

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

I have the Marantz 2235B. I got in 2015 for a very good price. Of course, this was before the 2017 vintage audio gold rush. And the pandemic didn't help matters either.

[@m.kennedy342]

Picked up a super clean Marantz 2325 at a thrift shop in 2003 for $50. Can’t believe the prices they command now.

[@MarvinHartmann452]

Prices have gone up like crazy. I picked up old tube stuff in the 90s for less than an hundred *canadian* $ . People got rid of these in garage Sales.

[@MarvinHartmann452]

14:34 The best stuff from sony is the Vfet stuff. Those are incredible, the only issue is that they're running hot and the transistors aren't available anymore. But they sound really good. They're very rare.

[@dtracy03ss]

Blown away by all of this Stuff, does the Quad adapter work with any Marantz reciever, I have a Mint 2265 for instance!

[@robertdavis5714]

STAX CD, never knew it existed, The guy owns some unique Tape equipment, very much liked. That old DENON logo, Artist must have been on a LSD Trip when created. Thank's for showing.

[@MrYamaha413]

such a great vintage designs miss those years

[@bramvanminnen8211]

Orange headphones! Teenage Engineering does a Bluetooth version I think, waaay cool!

[@muhammadfazalradioshop2308]

[@erikmolnar6585]

"I'm more alive than ever before, now I got my Commodore 64!"

[@MarvinHartmann452]

I've 2 of these marantz set up one have the 112 tuner and the other have the 104 tuner with it. I also like the older stuff like stromberg/carlson integrated tube amplifier as well as a eico St-70/St-96/Mx-99 trio. I would love to have the matching reel to reel tape that goes with it. I don't have that much stuff, but as I said elsewhere, people will have to pry them from my dead cold hands as won't sell them anytime soon. I feel for the tech who had to rebuild or repair these marantz computerised tape deck.

[@dtracy03ss]

Is any of this for sale? Like that Marantz 3200 and 140??!!! And I am going ĶrAZY ON all those Killer Cassette decks , that Sharp 3388 in the box!!! Holy Cassette deck---

[@RUfromthe40s]

the equalizer from pioneer you choose is the one that is poorly built all the other two are the best of the 70´s,i never used it (76)one, no need with the sound of the spec-1 and 2 it´s already perfect

[@six-pack1332]

Would love to have a JBL Paragon enclosure.

[@nordland2235]

I got the remote for my Teac RTR....that was a expensive acessary .

[@josephmay4937]

My favorite speaker are the Bose speakers I have the 201 and love them I also have one from the late 70s 201 and love them as well

[@RaiderCBR6.5]

Ten minutes into the vid I noticed all the motorcycle helmets and thought, Dam, those are the same two items that I have the most of also. Quite a bit less but the same ones.

[@cremersalex]

I had the Pioneer PL-630. Loved the look but after a while it gave me little electric shocks (when operating it) so I got rid of it.

[@AUTISTICLYCAN]

It's funny you talked about the SONY PS FL-7, Linear Turntable. I brought one in to be repaired and refurbished. You guys fixed it up and it still works well. Also I have its little brother the SONY PS FL-77 Linear Turntable that you also fixed up and refurbished. it also still works well. Both are nice heavy quality units. These are rare. Since finding mine I have not seen more.

[@johnchildress3811]

Any AR speakers? 3a/5a or the LST's?

[@johnchildress3811]

Any Altec speakers? 604's, etc?

[@jaapvander3787]

great candy store. Lots of US and Japanese stuff. little Europe. certainly not from the Netherlands (Philips) where I live.

[@stevezeidman7224]

I love these videos seeing many of the stuff I had. For example, I loved my Marantz 3200 / 140 combo. Very pretty pieces.

[@drmbgls1]

I have seen where you store all this stuff,but how fast do you sell some of this? And do you go through the units once they are sold?

[@LennyFlorentine]

We only sell fully serviced gear

[@ronaldfriedline9297]

What are those speakers at the very beginning again?

[@RWL2012]

I just gave the 500th like!

[@ChessIsJustAGame]

Carver, whatever happened to Carver and magnetic amps, etc. I have a early 1990's receiver with a remote that uses a motor to turn the manual volume control up and down. Unless it was just a west coast thing. When I lived in Texas, Carver was only found in high-end audio stores, when I moved to Seattle area in 1990, Carver was found in a regional electronics store, Magnolia HiFi. Long gone, out of business (late 1990's???) Update @12:00, ah there it is.

[@LennyFlorentine]

Hahaha, yeah, I was gonna say, it's actually in this video!

[@MarvinHartmann452]

Carver was the higher end of Phase linear and both were designed by Bob carver. These were pretty good. It looks very similar to the Phase II line but the color were different. Very well made stuff. These have raytheon and RCA op-amp IC in it. Modular construction.

[@fredhagel7989]

Yummi !😊

[@jpaleas]

Like been in a Candy store ! Love these videos!

[@pawfan]

Any Nikko 600 or 900 series you come across yet?

[@josephmay4937]

I want to add an 8 track player to my system what brand do you recommend to be on the look out for any specific brands over other brands

[@LennyFlorentine]

Look for an Akai or Pioneer

[@tcrutch65]

I didn't know to communicate to you directly, but have you ever heard of Kinetic Audio speaker company that was made near Chicago until about 2018. I have a pair of Labyrinths that were probably made in the late 80's or early 90's. I believe they were over $30,000. I have a pair with optional stands on wheels. I have info from their archived website

[@LennyFlorentine]

Never heard of them, will have to look them up!

[@zacharywartley9282]

Is there any dbx products in there

[@Thea-gj2or]

There Are a lot of accumulators. Not enogh demand except for other accumulators.

[@hlebo]

Your treasure hunting videos are terrific, but it would be great to know (without giving away anyone's privacy) a little more about each stash -- why does it exist, how the collection was assembled, and approximate numbers of items.

[@LennyFlorentine]

That is a great point!

[@adolfoortega5669]

Excelente canal, pero no entiendo nada de inglés...😢. Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱🙋‍♂️

[@casesimmons2645]

Your. Like the Rain Man of sterio

[@michaelnorfolk22]

BUY THE STAX CD PLAYER!!!!!! It is an exceptionally good sounding CD player!!!!!!!

[@michaelnorfolk22]

If that one is even close to the one, I heard, you will be listening to your collection all over again! It reveals so much more of the music!

[@danielknepper6884]

Most of the time the lasers are bad on all of these vintage CD players

[@michaelnorfolk22]

@@danielknepper6884 sometimes if they are cheaply made. I have many old ones ( some as old as 1986) that are working perfectly because they are made to last.

[@AnthonyDixon-vq4yn]

Is there a phone number so I can send you some stereo equipment if I fixed

[@kwd-kwd]

so are you there on a buying mission?

[@LennyFlorentine]

You never know

[@kwd-kwd]

@@LennyFlorentine I think I know....LOL

[@tech45]

Trying to make a hi end 8-track, is like polishing a turd:(

[@LennyFlorentine]

Haha but its fun

[@aammdj]

Oh boy, yet another 'haul' video? I think we get the point already.

[@RUfromthe40s]

sony es multi-player ,when new if they last 6 monthes it´s luck ,that one is maybe garbage ,sony is one of the worst brands in the world ,check it normally 70´s amplifiers are all out of order ,pioneers all work
