This is what I am currently using, mostly vintage components inherited from my uncle.
Onkyo T-9 tuner and A-7 amp, plus a JVC TD-W207 cassette. Also have (but not using at the moment) a SX-780 Pioneer tuner, and a Realistic TR-883 8-track, from my uncle as well.
Just bought a Sony PS-Lx300USB turntable (I know, laugh. Hoping to transfer some LPs to digital plus I needed a turntable so 2 birds with 1 stone thing).
Currently using a thrift store pair of Sony bookshelf speakers MB150H. They are okay for the moment. Hope to score a used CD player soon as well.
I have other components but on the opposite side of the country as I forgot to pack them when I switched jobs. A Marantz 170DC amp, SAE 2900 preamp/parametric EQ, Pioneer CT-1040W cassette, HK FL 8300 changer, Dual CS515 turntable, and a pair of Pioneer CS-605 speakers. Mostly mid to low end stuff I believe. Except for the CD changer, most was accumulated (bought, sold, traded) during my time in the Air Force in early-mid '80's. It will bve several months before I can get this stuff to me.
Currently I am a good distance away from a Best Buy, let alone an actual stereo place. Noticing that the old RCA patch cords seem to be obsolete, and the current technology of connecting cables are pretty expensive. What are good sources for good connectors at a reasonable price?
