    hmm. i think it's the lt 112 but that might be the Solid State tuna I used to have..which very good....so maybe it's the LT110..

    yeppers, the LT-112 was soiled state. It is the kit version (more or less) of the 312-D1. I actually have one of the latter, in beautiful condition but with some performance issues. You can guess from whence it came.

    chocolate brown most likely :-) I have a brown-faced LT-10 (mono version) downstairs, but have never taken a photo of it.

    I am using a number of vintage gear... my favorite is my 35-year old Sony TA-8650 V-Fet Integrated Amp, 80wpc, weighs about 50 lbs.

    TA8650-jon7
    TA8650-jon1
    TA8650-jon3

    This baby is in mint condition. Retailed for $1300. Had to pay $700 to repair it as a number of caps and diodes were going bad. Still going strong after all these years. Connected to it is a matching Sony ST-5950 tuner and a Sony PS-X7 turntable. I had also bought a matching Sony PS-8750 turntable which was destroyed by UPS....

    I also have a massive Sony STR-V7 receiver from 1979 with 150wpc, a 1979 Yamaha CR-1040 receiver with 80wpc.

    I also have a collection of broken vintage equipment... a pair of Sony TA-4650 amps, Yamaha B2 power amp, C2 preamp, Sony TAN-8250 power amp and a Sony TAE-8550 pre-amp.

    I have an Onk M-5090 that I use to drive the woofers in the AR-9's. It is one big mother from the early 80's (about $2k), that makes the M-5030, 504, or 506 look small. I hope it lasts forever cause nobody at Onkyo knows anything about it.

    It looks just like the rest of them. Two big green lit meters and the rosewood side panels.

    Concealer-- the M-508 meters go from orange to green. Wife doesn't like the Onkyo because when I power it up the house lights dim... Probably has an effect on the grid.... hmmmm

    Yeah. It's pretty cool to watch your lights dim to the beat of the music , but it's also telling you your starving your system of power. Good indicator time for dedicated service.

    Unfortunately, i live in an apartment, so that's not possible.

    On the fortunate side of that, i live in an apartment, so it's not like i can turn it up that loud and jam out anyways.

    And on the other fortunate side, my power conditioner/voltage stabilizer works very well. :D
