[Leadhead]

What a voice. Love Hurts, Miss Misery, Holiday, and Hair Of The Dog all on my playlist today. Rest In Peace sir.

I wore out an 8 track (not hard to do lol) and a cassette of Hair of the Dog, thanks for the Great tunes, RIP

RIP. Dan still was active semi-recently and still sounded great. I blew a few speakers on his stuff, especially HOTD, not a bad song on that album.

Hadn’t heard Miss Misery. Man what a set of pipes.

Tonight was a home alone tribute to Dan and all the vets, you'z all studs and deserved a few beers with some great tunes along for the ride.....!!!!

That’s a gorgeous receiver. Approx what year is that?

 

[cheveslakr]

Not sure, but the hayday for these SX receivers was around '76 then they cheapened the product. Bought this one, a SX1050 for $120 off ebay around 15 years back. The same unit is going for over $1k now.

I had a Marantz similar to that in the late 70's early 80's then a big Yamaha, don't even know where they went

 

[cheveslakr]

Got a blue light Marantz in the shop, it's a bit underpowered so I'm always searching for something bigger. I've seen the biggest Marantz or the biggest SX go for close to $10k, a bit on the crazy side but if you've ever shopped for modern quality tube amps, they can run over $20k.

If you want to spend money but get good quality, Carver and McIntosh are the way to go. In the early '80s, I dated a girl who who had a Carver rig with Dahlquist speakers, have not heard anything better since. She's probably still rocking it!
