Quoted from Fulltilt:

Raise your hand if you remember Mathew Southern Comfort.
It was a “cut out” at the time. I think they used floppy disc punches. (:

I bought several Albums that were "cut outs" Kraftwerk's Autobahn was one of them.
I was told they were returns to the distributor.

Oh. My. God. I'd never heard of him but my wife had an autographed cassette in her car when we first started dating, apparently she heckled him enough at one of his shows that he came over and said 'hi' afterwards. I'll have to show her this, she'll get a huge kick out of it.

He still does shows! at 73 years old!

Did you ever see the thanksgiving 2015 PBS special? That was neat. Arlo doing a 50th anniversary special concert including talking about and singing Alice's Restaurant.

A few years ago he did a concert at a Casino, in Mt. Pleasant. Hr stated he was NOT going to do Alice's Restaurant because he want his kids to get more stage time playing their new material. So I passed on going, and a 2 hour drive.

Quoted from MMP:

One of my receivers from the 80s has died. Do any of you have budget suggestions for replacement? Was hoping to find a decent replacement for $500 or less.

Marantz 2275
Pioineer SX-950 SX-980 with 80 watts RMS per channel should less than 400

#3265 5 years ago
Quoted from MMP:

Power just turned off while I was using it and it won't power back on. I did the easy checking to see if power fuse had blown but that was not it. Definitely lived a long and useful life. At this point I am thinking may as well update.

what was your receiver? you may find a place to repair it.
Classicaudio.com is a bit pricey on the restored units they sell.

#3274 5 years ago
Quoted from waldo34:

Recently I have been wondering how an older receiver would sound vs my Onkyo tx-nr3007, found a local Yamaha CR-820 for $165. Worth picking up? Seems like I could resell and break even if I hate it.

very good price, buy It, and it has 55 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohm load..

Test it out, bring your own speakers if you have to

#3299 5 years ago

SWEET! I have great memories of my old "Natural Sound" Yamaha. Looks so good and controls were very smooooth. Enjoy!!

Quoted from Jason43:

Take a look at the late 70s NAD receivers. Great build, great sound, great phono stage, still affordable compared to other vintage brands.

Today Marantz, Sansui and Pioneer are over valued. I bought 2 Pioneer SX-980 receivers for about 200 each a few years ago.

Quoted from Madmax541:

Wanted everyone thoughts on putting this stereo combination together
Realistic STA-2000D (75 watts)
Snell E IV (15-150 Watts)
Was considering the following
Pioneer SX-780 45 watts Scott R337 42 watts
Didn't think 45 watts would be enough. Thoughts?
Looking for recommendations for turn table name model?
I haven't purchased anything yet.

How big of a room are you filling? how loud do you like your music?
Some speakers need a lot of power..,.
My Ohm Walsh II speakers are great in all the rooms I have hade them in and have 85 watts RMS to drive them.

Long story short. I'm planning on moving and I'm decluttering my house.I told my wife I'm not taking this junk and storing it in the new house.I came across a bunch of Lp albums from the 70/80's.
Is it worth my time to take them somewhere and sell them? If they're only worth a dollar a piece,I'll just toss them in the trash.

You could sell the lot on Facebook or Craigslist real cheap.
Or donate them to a Salvation Army Store.

SFF: Symphonic Pictures arrived today and gave it a spin... There guys are far from mainstream. A friend of a buddy put us onto SFF in the early 80s. We made a trip to School Kids Records in Ann Arbor MI to order some vinyl. We had then delivered to their other store in Birmingham MI. We proceed to Almas Hi-Fi a high end stereo store. The salesman put on of our new record on the latest linear tracking turntable with a moving coil cartridge, McIntosh pre & power amps. Speaker were M&K wiith a sub woofer. My guess about 10K system. It was amazing and absolutely no noise between tracks as well.

Schicke & Führs & Fröhling biography ( from google / wikipedia )

SCHICKE, FÜRHS & FRÖHLING is one of the most amazing prog acts to ever come out of Germany. Instilling their symphonic sound with elements of space rock, avant-garde electronics and fusion, their style turns out to be very rich and dynamic, combining light and shade in a perfect balance.

Eduard SCHICKE (drums, percussion, moog drum) and Heinz FRÖHLING (guitars, bass, synthesizer, mellotron), who had already been colleagues in the recently split SPEKTAKEL (one of the major German prog acts at the time), met keyboardist Gerard FÜHRS playing electric piano in a music store, sometime I nearly 1975. A few conversations led to instant chemistry, and furthermore, to the formation of the SCHICKE, FÜRHS & FRÖHLING trio. Six months later, they had a full repertoire of their own, on-stage experience (including the 1975 German Rock Festival in Munich) and a record deal signed with the Metronome label. Their debut album "Symphonic Pictures", an undisputed classic of German prog, was released in 1976, selling about 12,000 copies. The trio gained popularity among local prog fans, mostly for their stunning live performances, which many critics described as magic and overwhelming. Two more studio recordings followed, "Sunburst" (1977) and "Ticket to Everywhere" (1979). Though not as impressive as their debut, these latter albums show the band exploring their musical vision further, with a genuine will to evolve. You can also notice the band bearing a tendency toward a lightening of their sound, especially concerning the third album (the last one, indeed), which bears a bigger tendency toward appealing tunes and catchy arrangements that lean somewhat close to jazz-fusion and jazz-pop, with the symphonic factor not remaining the main focus anymore. In between, "Sunburst" still managed to capture the density and pompous atmospheres that had made the best of "Symphonic Pictures" while containing new rooms for jazz-rock oriented ideas. A year before SCHICKE quit the band, his partners had started working as a duo in parallel: with SCHICKE's leaving, the trio just dropped off. In fact, the "Ticket to Everywhere" was mostly conceived as a studio project more than as an effort by a 'live' band. In the early 90s, a double CD comprising all three albums plus two live tracks was released - the item was dedicated to the memory of Gerard FÜHRS, whose untimely passing occurred on Nov. 3rd, 1992.
