Welcome and very nice. My dad passed last October and I inherited his Sansui 7070. I intend to get it working, but haven't had the funds at the moment. I love the vintage stuff, even though I'm vintage now. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

I'm sure at some point I'll discover something that I've got to have, but for now this is making me very happy. My wife and kids have the app now and are enjoying it too. I'm content...for the time being. Ha!

Yep, got the R-N800A. It was a bit of a fiasco with Gramaphone through Amazon. They said 2 days but it kept showing up back and forth between shipping locations and made it a week or so later. Pretty lame as the styrofoam was cracked in a couple of places so it had seen some "action". Everything...

I like the Wiim, and it seems to be pretty well received here, but every time I look at the Yamaha I drool. Maybe that's a mistake, but I can't shake the desire. I think I'm going to purchase the R-n800a unless I can't resist the 1000 model. Either way, maybe it goes away and I change in a year...

Alright, I'm not the newest newbie now. Ha. Guitars, Cars and old video games are my jam too. Very cool. I'm new to all of this gear as well. I've already been flooded with great information and am excited to start this journey (later than most I suppose). Like I said earlier in my intro, I have...

So much good info. This is a great community. Thank you all for your help. It's fun and I'm excited to enter into this knowing it's a journey with great music and moments to come. I'll check back with more questions after digging into some of these enlightening posts. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks Matt. Good circumstantial explanation. Your house sounds like mine. :) I'm off to research the Wiim option now. Man, I wish it was a sexy as the Yamaha. If I had my way, I'd have a BDI TV stand (at $4000) and hide it all in there. But, I've already got an IKEA thing, so maybe aesthetics...

It does appear that the r-n series yamahas support gapless playback. Check!

Thank you. I like it. I think my Dad's receiver is a system that will ultimately live in my studio in lieu of the living room. It's a separate project and has some special importance to me. I wish I was competent with electronics so I could fix it myself, but dollars will replace skill at this...

Thank you all for the information. I probably wasn't clear enough. Yes, I already have the debut 2.0s. I got a clean pair for slightly over a $100 and I figured that was a good enough pair to test in my space, considering I really like the DBR62s (or Revels if still on sale once I determine if...

I've perused this forum for while and learned a great deal. However, there is an overwhelming amount of information about things. So, I'm going to enter this request with the anticipation of much more information than I will know what to do with, but eagerly await it. This is my question(s). I...

Lol. I've found I become a victim of analysis paralysis. I can literally research something until a new model comes out and it's obsolete. But I already made a speaker purchase because it seemed like a good deal on offerup, and I don't even have an amp to run them...so I hope I like them. Ha!

Testing to see if I'm posting a new thread topic correctly. Also, do I need an image hosting service or just place with the image icon?

Thanks. Yep, it seems you can't get an estimate because no one can anticipate what's wrong. And then you fix one thing and it reveals another. Though it's never been driven hard and it had worked within about the past two years. I don't know much about electronics, but opened it up and didn't...

Thanks. Will do!

Hello everyone. Not to be a downer, but my father recently passed away and I inherited his old Sansui receiver from the 70's. I grew up with that thing and have many fond memories of listening to it with him. While I want to get it repaired and working (another topic), what inheriting that old...
