let's see your jammin stereo systems
dude at work was saying he wanted some big tall floor speakers for his home stereo. he commented that most people (his age anyway) don't use big floor speakers (with a woofer in each), don't usually have a home stereo (might have a "home theater" setup) and most of the time they are listening to earbuds from their phone.
ha. if he would have been around in the days of the dinosaurs he would have been over-awed.
anyways, I don't currently have a home stereo system, just the computer speakers and a mini subwoofer. I was going through some old pictures and came across the old stereo from 20-25 years ago.
Kenwood KR-V9010 receiver
Sansui AU-G77XII amplifier
Harman-Kardon tape deck
Aiwa tape deck
Rockford Fosgate 8" truck speakers w/ top-firing tweeters
Rockford Fosgate 12" subs
the Kenwood was 50 watts per channel driving the truck speakers, and the Sansui was 110 watts per channel @ 8 ohms slave-amped to the Kenwood and driving the subs, which were 4 ohms in the ported box with dual 120 Hz cutoffs.
I used the HK tape deck for recording and the Aiwa for playback.
used the Video input to connect the computer's Line Out to play CD's and MP3's.
it was in a stereo cabinet with glass doors. didn't have anything to put in the turntable shelf except for the remote control.
it was L-O-U-D and had mega B-A-S-S and sounded G-O-O-D

I am in the process of rebuilding my old stereo set up I had in put together in college almost 38 years ago. I used most of it until 15 years ago when I started having a few issues with a couple of the parts of the system.. I am looking into having the amp recapped and need a new motor for the tape deck. When it is completed I will have the following all back together again.....
-Carver M500 Amp. 250 WPC
-Carver C1 Preamp
-Technics SL7 Linear Track turntable with Shure V15LT cartridge
-Nakamichi 480 Tape Deck (I still have over 400 tapes I recoreded back in the day)
-NAD Tuner
-Polk 7 Monitors.
Currently i am running an Onyko Receiver 210 WPC, Onkyo 6 disc CD player and my IPOD through a set of Klipch R820's. The Klipch are an awsome
set of speakers. I look forward to hooking them up to the Carver amp someday just to see what they can really do !!!0 -
Everyone crowing about all their Reel to Reel and (those of you with Real tapes you know who you are) as well as cassette... Have you tried to play them recently? The tape breaks and/or the magnetic coating falls off jamming up all the works. Vinyl is hot again but it sounds just like it did in the 80's hiss pop hiss pop click.... My youngest daughter loves vinyl. Its horrible. 0 -
tape has the best sound out of anything. the wider the better. recording studios used 1" reel to reel and master records were cut from that. nothing comes close even in 2019, aside from the fact that everyone went to digital due to convenience and editability, and despite the fact that it simply does not sound as good.
there was even some studio recording equipment that used VHS tapes to record audio because it worked, and sounded next to awesome.
nothing
beats
magnetic
tape.
end of story.
ya records develop clicks and pops, and do wear out, but a brand new record still sounds better than a CD and has much more bass.0 -

The cassettes I still have sound really good. Many of them date back to the early 80's. I used to buy a new vinyl album, demag it, clean it properly, and then play it once on one of two turntables I owned, both with Shure V15 cartridges. They were all recorded using a Nakamichi tape deck. After the recording, I resealed the vinyl record and properly stored it....Sold most of those Albums a few years back for a decent sum......0 -
When I hear people talk about how horrible Vinyl sounds, all those clicks, pops, etc.; since I?ve always taken care of my Vinyl (60's, 70's, 80's, & a few new reissues) and kept them clean and they sound near perfect in my system, I can?t relate to what they are talking about! So I have to engage my Vinyl Simulator so I can appreciate what they are hearing on their systems!
