Wow brings back great memories. 2:00 I still have a Marantz 2238B receiver that I bought new back in ‘79 or ‘80. Had the box and wooden case up along with a United Audio turntable and Altec-Lansing speakers. 5:52 I have that same Realistic EQ that I bought new back sometime in the’80s. Wish I had a time machine lol
Hey Lenny, You are the audio man we really appreciate you coming to see us and posting the really nice videos of our store, I hope all is well. Hope to see you again, stop by in Allentown Pa anytime. Thanks Dan
Cool, The Turntable Store…right off the bat. Got a NAK BX-300, with the box and shipping foam, from them a few years ago. They were great to work with…🍻
I saw a really nice pair of AR (4AX?) speakers with the white linen cloth grills. Those sound very nice with a little extra power to drive them. I once had a nice Haffler amp that i used with mine.🤤🎶👂❤️ Damn, I wish I'd kept that combo!😏
So nice seeing Max from the Turntable store. After seeing a listing on Reverb I drove the 1.5 hrs to Manheim and was totally charmed by the visit. The specialty retail experience is all but hollowed out and I miss it - the professionalism, beautiful products, and candid conversation among enthusiasts .. all pushed aside by synthetic corporate franchises and the internet. That morning I walked out with a fine little Beomaster and the reminisce of how quality shopping and browsing should be.
That’s my RT707 RTR tape deck at 1:53. I bought it from Max 2 weeks ago. I can tell it’s mine because it has the replacement pinch roller on the feed reel side.
Hey Lenny, I’m new to your channel. My name is Mike. I’m a military veteran and I have a slight stereo addiction that I got when I was in Germany and I’m 60 years old. I’ve had this addiction for a while. I seen some of your videos and I watch every video that you have. I’m a hi-fi head. Don’t have a lot of money for the top and stuff can’t afford that but I call a Lo-Fis system. that’s what I have anyway I didn’t know anything about Mortz TV. I live in Pennsylvania in Warminster maybe a 30 minute ride from there. I have an old Heath kit AR 1429 and the bulbs in there for illumination, 1:49 Are 24 V bulbs. I didn’t know that until I went to Mortz and asked him if he had any at first he said no and I was looking around the store dreaming for about 10 minutes and then he came out of the back and he said hey I have six of those bulbs I’ll sell them to you for two dollars apiece so I took them and put them in my stereo. Everything’s doing good. Great shop thank you very much for your channel. You’re a great dude keep up the good work.
Wow, stumble upon your video and from the beginning I was transported back to my teen years as an audio buff. It also made me a little sad, because it reminded me of all of the pieces I've lost over the years. 😥 BTW, I live in Philly and Barracks is and has been legendary for decades.👍
Lenny ! The Nikko NR-1415 .. real sleeper and will surprise ya' Set it up and listen to it the sound is very nice and detailed similar to an SX-1250 for sound quality. Build inside is also nice.
@@LennyFlorentine yes it does and plenty of ooomph too. My amp boards and power supply/protection boards recapped, and it sounds so good I don't want to touch the preamp board !
Great recap of PA videos, plus I noticed a few new things either missed the first time or maybe added footage. There is a lot of really cool vintage gear in PA.
Thanks John! Yeah I love structuring it like that. A lot of people I watch do it and I always end up rewatching the package video multiple times cause I can just put it on in the background and always catch new things.
The receiver or the 901s that you talk about had the spatial unit built in the receiver and the EQ. This was for the back 8 drivers to balance inward or outward, and only the Series III and IV 901 speakers had this. There were two types of Bose Receivers, the Bose 550 at 40 watts 8 ohms and the other was the Bose 551 at 100 watts at 8 ohms. The Receiver itself was specially designed for the 901 and only those two series.
Interesting that you mentioned you never know what's in those furniture style speakers at 47:54 - Those were a pair of KLH Model 23's without the badges, which are some well regarded speakers from the early 70's, and a speaker I have had the pleasure of finding. They sound fantastic, surprising bass response and warm midrange, very fun to listen to.
I had a friend with a pair of those Ohm speakers. You had to drive them hard for them to sound good, but give them a little too much juice and they blow. He was really upset with that purchase.

Tandberg is nice! Here in Norway they are pretty popular. The TR2045 is good, but not the most sought after. No RCA connections only 5pin DIN. Other then that i think it is realy nice (same as the 2060). The looks are perfect and good power with 45W per cannel (8ohm). The most popular items is the TR1000 series, TR2055, 2075, 2075mkii and the TR2080. The Huldra 8, 10 and 12 is also realy nice. There is more, but i think those I mentioned is kind of the best from Tandberg.
Those speakers he was testing out for you. I had a set of those about five years ago, but the foam was rotted out on it the Styrofoam itself, and even then I didn’t know how special those were. I wish I had kept those but what I do have is the Aki track 4000 complete and it works. Just don’t have the box for it. You are definitely in a cool store. I may have to take a visit over there. I’m in Ohio and all my stuff is for sale
If you want to step up in quality with a Intergrated Amp and Receiver! In my opinion the best out there is a Pioneer SA-9500 amp and matching TX-9500 Tuner! Plenty of Power and Sound Quality I’ll match against anything ! I’ve worked on these for 50 years and the Components used are Top Notch ! I personally have this set up that is totally original except for aligning the Tuner and replacing the original bulbs - as far as the amp everything is totally original including the light bulbs ! The Filter Caps are all within spec ! This was sold new in 1975! How could you do better than this ? I purchased a total parts rebuild kit for both units and it’s just sitting in the boxes on the shelf! I think there are many that will agree with me ?
Do they price this stuff to sell or are you dealing with audio "hoarders" that think every piece is made of gold? There are a million pieces out there. What's your opinion on these type places?
I have a pair of Bertagni D-75s I fully restored. The soundstage is just like in your video, hard to tell where the speaker is in the room. Don't come across these often

I love it when you see the lesser recognized brands components. There is some incredible stuff from the lesser known names.

I own 2 Sansui 221 receivers. Perhaps the best low budget receivers out there. A beast!

Have an old Kyocera R-451 driving two ADS 810’s and it is still puts out an unbelievable sound and puts my Definitive Technology to shame!
Those are two good choices for high fidelity
I love vintage stuff
I can't believe out of all that luscious vintage gear that lady picks out as her favorite a portable cassette radio.

Not good seeing receivers sit for years.... they need to be used.
I have many receivers that are just sitting in my house
Not good? You mean...they should be used? Because....they are still playable...no matter the down time. Just sayin...🤗
Definitely gonna be a fun one
Wrong channel.

Like seeing the vintage records. Hunting for just sounstage can turn into a mistake.
Great if we like American glam rock such as ZZ Top or Bon Jovi. Marantz Rotel Pioneer Technics Sony JBL. 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Love it!!!!
Thank you!
You buy the Abby Road reel 2 reel, take it home, put it on your Akai M8 then start cursing as it eats the tape and ties it in knots,lol.
I need to find one in S.E. PA any recommendations?
I used to work at a store called Vintage Hi-FI of Pittsburgh but its gone now.
Do they ship?

pioneer made the SX1980 . Did pioneer make a 50 series of the sx1980 previous ?
They did not, just up to the SX-1250
@@LennyFlorentine that’s what I’ll look for
Morts is right around the corner from me. Can’t afford anything in there 😂
You must be a broke a$$. I got a vintage Hitachi S2000 receiver/amp and a set of Polk Audio speakers for less than $200 from them.
Unbleavable
Im italian too !
EMPIRE ROYAL GRENADIER 9000 are the frist speakers shown just so u know
