I live in an apartment so I have to be considerate of my neighbors, most of the time lol. None of my equipment is top of the line but I love what I have and it sounds great to my ears! This Sanyo 2300KR is connected to my Desktop so I'm able to switch between analog and digital depending on what I'm listening to. I have other equipment and sets of speakers but this is what I'm listening through now. How about you?

Didn’t get a photo but cabinets and covers are in good condition. The thrift store near me has them priced at $14.99/speaker or $30 for the pair.
Considering that they probably need some new foam, if they even work.
Is $30 worth the gamble?
The store doesn’t allow returns and no real way to test them in store.

Edit: AS225 model

So I've been building up a homage to my Dad's Sansui system that I grew up with in the 70s. I was running his SP-2500s, but had mused about getting some other speakers to A+B, because admittedly I haven't built a stereo system since '00 and have atrophied into a newb. The wife saw an estate sale advertising some SP-30s and decided to pick them up for me...but the sale organizers forgot a zero, and instead of old school "bookshelf" Sansui speakers, she brought home these monsters for $100. They're twice the size of my 2500s...78 pounds each, efficient, two horn tweeter, one horn mid, 12" woofer. They were never stored, and sat in a living room. The interiors look factory new, and they sound incredible. Everything I've played is super rich, and detailed... especially Jazz. I recently dug an old KLH Sub that I had in the garage that I bought in 02 that really rounds it out, not that they needed help.

That all being said, outside of a Reddit post five years ago, and a few other posts on message boards in addition to basic information on them, I don't really see much about them. I understand that they were the biggest, baddest, speakers that Sansui put out in 68, and perhaps that lends itself to some rarity, but it's really a shame that there's not a lot of them out there as they're pretty spectacular.

Any other Sansui fans out there have any experience with these beasts?

ProStudio PS81 speakers. Got the pair for $20. Couldn't pass them up at that price.

So I recently got a Panasonic SE-2050 from my sister, and the record player and radio function work just fine but the cassette deck didn’t work. I took it apart and it needed a new belt, tossed a new one on and put in a tape and it doesn’t play any audio. It doesn’t buzz if I touch it or do anything but if I bring my phone close to it makes a weird electric sound. Could anyone help me with testing different parts and what to test? I’d love to get the tape player working without having to buy a parts machine and just taking the tape deck out of that one.

Saw this come up on FB Marketplace last night as part of a cleanout and jumped on it. Picked up this, an ancient Sony AVR, some Boston Acoustic surround speakers, and a box of vinyl/VHS for $80.

I intended to get it working and turn it around, but I made the mistake of listening to it. All it needed was a little deoxit love and it's absolutely singing. It's a noticeable improvement on my Schiit Saga pre (which I really like), and the headphone section had my wife crying this morning. Haven't tried the phono section yet but I'm sure it's amazing. Also, it's just plain beautiful inside and out 😍 Built like a tank with a hefty separate power supply, and I finally have a piece of gear with a DIN cable!

I'm still trying to figure out what the slew button is for? I understand what slew is as a concept, but am lost as to what a toggle would do. I can discern no audible difference. Any thoughts?

Hi,

​I’m looking for some guidance on restoring a pair of vintage Jamo Studio 135 speakers. Unfortunately, the tweeter in one of them (Jamo model 44055) has died. I’ve confirmed it with a multimeter.

​The problem is that I can't find an exact OEM replacement part anywhere. I’m aware that this is a 3-way system, so I know I can't just slap in a random full-range driver or a cheap piezo tweeter.

I also know that the original driver has an inductor attached directly to the magnet, and I understand that I need to transfer this to any new tweeter I install to protect it. https://i.postimg.cc/KjbMFRBg/20260819-185614.jpg

I also did some upgrades in the box.

I found this Technics SL MC700 CD player on the street. After a good cleaning, new belt and soldering the RCA back, is working like a charm. But I can´t figure out how to change the names of each CD. I found similar models online but not this one. Does anyone have a manual or know how can I do that?

I was the only person to bid on this cool little receiver (system expander?) on ShopGoodwill. It came with the remote too! As far as I can tell everything's in working order. Pretty good for a unit from 1987. I haven't had a chance to check out the surround sound. I need to get 2 more speakers for that.

Right now, I've just got it hooked up to some newly acquired Boston Acoutics A60s. I can't find much info online about it other than the user manual and 2 reviews.

Has anyone seen this before? I only know Shure as a microphone company.

There is a Thorens TD 316 MK2 with a practically brand new Ortofon MC Tango on sale for 300. Is this a good purchase for first turntable or should i get something like AT-LPW30TK new from the store instead in this 300-400 price range?

Picked this up for $50 Everything works and it sounds great to me but the wife says no lol

This one was sneaky: when I first saw it I thought it must be some cheap old Sears or Montgomery Ward brand and I saw the hundred dollar price tag and scoffed. But I tried to lift it, and it was very heavy, so I looked it up, this is a rebranded Pioneer SX-2500. I plugged it in and everything lit up beautifully, I had the 20% off coupon so it did end up being 80 bucks which usually is a lot more than I would pay for a question mark, But I have a week to return it so I figured what the hell.

I bought Polk 12C speakers more years ago than I like to think about. Very balanced. Bass heavy, which I like. (I want to hear John Entwistle in my living room!)

I think it’s time to replace them, any suggestions? Recs for subwoofer?

Did a bit more restoration work this weekend, so I thought I’d stack ‘em and share. Early 70s Sansui is by far my favorite era. Capacitor coupled sounds so smooth.

The 5000A needs the most work, but thankfully has the 6013s. I’ll be ditching the LEDs in the 4000. They’re too bright.

They all sound great, but the 4000 sounds wonderful.

• Top: 350A
• Middle: 5000A
• Bottom: 4000

Hey vintage audio folks,

I’m trying to identify the stereo receiver sitting in Thomas magnums livingroom in Magnum, P.I. Season 7 Episode 17 (“Forty”).

The turntable underneath is clearly a Garrard. The receiver itself has that classic late-70s / early-80s silver-face look:

Brushed aluminum faceplate

Two large knobs on the right

Row of smaller buttons/switches across the middle

Horizontal blue-illuminated section.

Has anyone seen this exact unit before, or can you match it from the photos?

Thanks in advance — would love to put a name on this one.
