I got into the high-end business around that time. Nakamichi, Harmon Kardon, Kyocera, Denon all made very nice receivers. I sold Yamaha for years, but didn't really think that highly of it. Just my opinion, but you could do better.
early 80s stereo receiver mm/mc phono....
Primarly looking at denon or Yamaha from.this era...with remote...pre outs...Rx 900 or similar? Any other suggestions?
