Main form of entertainment for me in the late 70’s. LP’s. No cell phones, no internet, no MTV..those were the days

Is it just me, or did the mid to late 70's pretty much achieve the best sound an audiophile could hope to achieve? I recognize it may not be more than two channels but I only have two ears. I know there are a merriad of arguements to the contrary... good for you... enjoy the music as much as I do... there's room for everyone.

Just found this channel and subbed. Great points. I'm a sucker for vintage. I have a 1970's round Turntable with radio and 8 track I got for free. Btw magnavox. Heavy yes but I cannot believe how well it sounds. Got good base as well. Just got 1980's speakers to attach to it downstairs and wow ... 10 dollars for speakers and 10 for the wire.

In my study with my second system on in the next room. Philips FR 140 receiver amplifier bought as a student in the 1980s when cash was tight listening to Classic FM radio via a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze BR1 bookshelf speakers and I have to say the sound is fantastic for relatively a humble amp and analogue radio signal. The recently upgraded output signal from Classic FM helps but the soundstage and overall sound reproduction are good enough to keep drawing me to the open doorway to listen.

I love the idea of you talking about all the HiFi equipment from the 70/80 because I always tell young people who want to start out with HiFi to go for some of the units you are always talking about because we know that what you can make up from out there is really worth their £££s.. so when they have a budget system from 2nd hand they can never go wrong..

Hi, Very helpful, I've been after a mid 70s Receiver for a wile, Analogue, knobs, and meters, heaven 😊. But not taken the plunge. This will help, and your other videos have too. Thanks Grant.

Thanks for the tips, I've been buying gear for at least 50 years. Here's a couple more, exercise the input selector and change the bass and treble looking for dirty switches and pots.

Recently acquired an old Sony STR 7035 for FREE off marketplace. Just needed some contact cleaner. The VU meter is stuck but so what. It’s amazing! I’m truly smitten.
