Old School Stereo

[Kamandi]

How many old school audiophiles do we have?

I have a beautiful old Sansui AU-517 tube AMP that I'm taking out of mothballs to assemble my "No f---ing digital anything" system.



Are there any audioheads that want to help me brainstorm on this one? I'd like to go vintage and find some really great late 70's era components to go with.

here's the best component to go with that:

I have an SVD-1 from Alexandrov Radio Works from the year 1938 I believe, does that count as Old School?

As an antique it's fantastic. I have a wood RCA housing from the late 30's. The radio doesn't do much but it's great looking and has enough empty space to hide my subwoofer.

The RCA radios are beautiful.

Mine still works ish. My grandma got it in Russia when it was new and she kept it good, so did my mom, and now it works but, of course, the speaker is wearing down and it doesn't recieve much channels. In my grandma's house there's a huge radio with cabinets built onto them on the side for storing records, it's a bit wider than a car but it doesn't work anymore, sadly, but I'm trying to fix it (without any success so far). I have a liking for antique radios and transmitters and stuff.

I do believe I have such a radio somewhere in the garage from the '80s or '90s that were so popular to have on your shoulder, blasting music.
