If there are no space limitations and your budget allows, the Pioneer Spec series of separates make for a beautiful silver faced stack. If properly restored, they sound amazing, especially for the era. I would also consider Kenwood upper end Integrated/Tuner combos. The Kenwood 9100 has very cool VU meters while upper end Pioneer's of the era, although excellent, are meter free.
Want to start a great looking quality vintage setup
Hello, I’m looking to set up a secondary system for my office which would be purely vintage equipment. As this is not my main listening source I’m really just looking for something that would be attractive, but of course have good quality components but at a budget. I love the look of the silver face and the blue lights of the bygone eras. Macintosh, options of that sort of beyond my budget, but I’ve been reviewing some of the Pioneer spec options, but was wondering what else was out there that folks here would recommend. Essentially looking for a coordinated preamp, amp and phonograph. I can probably find a good set of vintage speakers locally to go with whatever my components are. I’m open to receiver combos as again, this is as much about the look of the components as it is about the audiophile quality, perhaps even more about the aesthetic.
