I always wanted a Sherwood. These old receivers certainly bring up sentimental feelings. I still have the Marantz 2220 that I bought at 15 years old with money from my first job. Dad took me to the stereo shop. That was big bucks for a kid to spend in 1973 - Melton's in Atlanta, they still sell home theater setups. The Marantz is still in the same realm of musical enjoyment as my SET amps.
Or the HK A 402 that an older neighbor lady gave me. Her son had died many years ago. After buying pristine albums at her yard sale and waving as I walked my dog over the years, one day she asked if I would like to have some "Teac" speakers in her basement. They were teak Celestions. Oh, and would I like to take all that gear too. It's amazing how good the late 70s model HK A 402 is. The HK's phono output with my HD 650s, makes $500 dedicated headphone amps sound like toys!
