    1) They (the above-mentioned CA-810/CT-810) don't just look nice...


    2) I shared my most recent largess in another thread, but a photo here also seems appropriate...

    Freebee that ended up in the barn-minty SR1000. Had to add a tuner because lights-tuner wasnt working. Hence free :smile:surprisingly enough the 20wpc unit does well

    No it's not mine :-( It is cool indeed -- it belongs to an "inmate" at www.audioasylum.com

    Need to clean up this HFT-90 one of these days -- this particular EICO tuner has been in my family since it was new... as has the AF-4 underneath it. The HF-85 on the top of the short stack was my first purchase off of eBAY (from back in the days when the internet was all-analog, I think).

    It starts to get pretty miscellaneous on the bottoms of the low rent racks...

    This beautiful EICO HFT-94 (hifi AM only tuner) was the gift of an extremely kind fellow over at AK. I haven't even taken it for a test drive yet, though : - (

    So I just added my 1st kenwood anything to my collection
    rryhvsal70oc.jpg
    I am reminded why I didn't have any. It's the polar opposite of a Marantz.
    Hot treble. I used the advanced eq in foobar and now it sounds pretty good.
    Tuner, however is outstanding. Here is the CL picture of it. It's wide enough
    I had to slide it in the rack from the end-too wide to slide in from front.

    They warned me about the "rabbit hole" back when I joined. I sometimes see that soft "blue glow" many more layers down..
