A couple of guys were asking about the Marantz 2600... This was the most powerful stereo receiver every built, it would put out 400Wx2, incredible phono preamp circuit, 5-gang FM quartz-lock tuning, scope that would indicate FM signal strength/center channel/multipath simultaneously. Originally sold for $1595, but Marantz underestimated it sales and was always sold out. Also below is a photo of the heat sink tunnel split apart. The amplifier section was a patented, servo control tunnel design taken from their pro-audio amplifier 510M which powered many, many touring big-name music groups including the Eagles, Rhonstadt, Crosby/Stills/Nash, Steve Miller, Bonnie Raitt. I was fortunate to snag a 2600 and can only comment its kicks ass!!! Also today they are scarce as in good condition can sell for as much as $10,000.. Just my $0.02...

Cambridge Audio AXR 100 receiver for the mains & Bryston 4B power amp for the subs.
Sources are an NAD 512 compact disc player & Rega Planar 2 turntable. Plus the Panasonic Blue ray, cable box & Apple TV. I don’t do surround sound because I find all of those receivers sound like crap playing music, which is most important to me…
Speakers are Paradigm Monitor 8000 towers (each with 3 x 8” bass drivers, 6” mid plus tweeter.)
Subs are also Paradigm dual voice coil 10” units from the ‘90s which warm up the bottom end nicely.

The HK 330 was an incredible stereo receiver for the price. Good FM tuner and very capable amplifier, it was actually built by Onkyo/Integra. Just my $0.02... Thanks for the info! I really enjoy the oldie stations on it...Can't miss Kasey Kasem's American top 40 from the 70s every Saturday!

My main system right now is a Yamaha RX596 receiver, Kenwood turntable, & 12" woofer 3-way KLH loudspeakers. I rebuilt the speakers about 10 years ago with Dayton woofers, & Goldwood midranges, & can't remember which tweeters, but I went from cone tweeters to horn tweeters - they sound better now than when they were all orig. components.

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of a completely refurbished Sansui G-7500 that I purchased over the weekend. It is replacing the Sansui G-7000 that I bought in 1979. The power supply on the G-7000 shorted out after about 20 years. At the time, it was not economically feasible for me to have it repaired. So, I reluctantly took it to an electronic recycling facility. I had been looking for a replacement for quite a while and finally located the G-7500. The G-7000 was 85 wpc and really sounded great through my Norman Laboratories #10 speakers (which I still have). The G-7500 is 90 wpc so it should get the twin 10" woofers in each of the speakers really pumping. I inherited my father in law's Pioneer turntable. I'm not sure of the model but it's a really nice setup. It's probably over 30 years old and still in pristine condition. My father in law was very proud of it. He just never used it much. It should sound good on the 500+ albums my wife and I have.
