(02). Marantz 19
(03). Harman/Kardon 930 Twin Power

I had a great Yamaha receiver in the 80's. I never really understood how the loudness control worked technically, but it sure made for great sound. That, and the build quality rivaling anything out there, and the low noise, made it perfect for a college dorm stereo. Still wish i had it, though I now have a much better monster stereo (Bryston and Thiel stuff).

They're all ancient history.
