sailor420-- Old audio equipment is the best! I originally bought a brand new harman/kardon receiver, but it was a cheap feeling Chinese piece of junk, plus it had clearly audible background hiss. I sold it to my dad (it died a few months afterward) and bought my current one on eBay.. It is from 1988, before they got cheap. It is far better. My second stereo runs off a Marantz 2245 receiver from 1974--it's almost 30 years old and I crank it up every day.
If you know what to look for, you can make a really kickass stereo for cheap from eBay and scrounging around thrift shops..

Got to agree with you there. I love the amplifier. Some of the pots were dirty because they hadnt been used in about 10 years, but once clean, it sounds better than any of the recievers in the $500 range I was looking at before I decided to just use this one. Plus, I didnt have to pay for it. No remote, but Ill live.
