Been "doing me" a bit lately to try and bring things back on track. Got round to hooking my 50th birthday pressie to me amp up to my speakers. I don't think mastodon does but I am absolutely loving this combination. For a polite British setup, it has the most glorious low end for ❤️ Lovely sound need not be expensive!

Last night I created a #LEGO interpretation of my #1981 #pioneerelectronics TX-520 Stereo Tuner to go along with the SA-520 I did last weekend. Here is the rendered result. I think I’ll do the cassette, timer, and turntable next to complete the Syscom 3300 system I bought in 1981.

Over the weekend I created a #LEGO interpretation of my 1981 Pioneer SA-520 amplifier in BrickLink Studio. This is the rendered result. Now I need LEGO to make a bunch of metallic silver brick styles.

Sansui 661 Receiver
Another dumpfound item. This was going to be crushed as e-waste. It has been tested and pots cleaned. Sounds pretty good but is need of full restoration and cleaning. Some of these are only in fair shape because they were tossed in bins. Sansui has some good stuff - love my AU-9500. My favorite daily use amp.

Pioneer SA-5200
This small 70s amp was one of my first daily use dumpfinds. I found it at an e-waste facility and I was immediately struck by its simplicity. This may not be high in power but it pumps bookshelf speakers better than modern crap. I may be biased because it was free. I dug it out for a new space and cleaned the pots. It is new to me again.

Legendary Architecture & Morality by #OMD #orchestralmanoeuvresinthedark #vintagehifi #pioneer #pioneersa #technicssl10 #tangential #technics #amp #architectureandmorality

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are an English electronic band formed in Meols, Merseyside in 1978 by Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals). Regarded as pioneers of electronic music, OMD combined an experimental, minimalist ethos with pop sensibilities, becoming key figures in the emergence of synth-pop; McCluskey and Humphreys also introduced the "synth duo" format to British popular music. In the United States, the band were an early presence in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion.

The Yardbirds are an English rock band formed in London in 1963. The band started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton (1963–1965), Jeff Beck (1965–1966) and Jimmy Page (1966–1968), all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists. The band's other members during 1963–1968 were vocalist/harmonica player Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja, and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith, with Dreja switching to bass when Samwell-Smith departed in 1966. The band had a string of hits throughout the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things", and "Over Under Sideways Down".

When I play King Crimson it also comes to fantastic German #krautrock and so #progressiverock band ELOY from Germany. Eloy is a German rock band. Founded in 1969 by guitarist Frank Bornemann, the band is best known for their progressive rock music.

Time for a beauty! #kingcrimson #vinyl #vintagehifi
In the Court of the Crimson King (subtitled An Observation by King Crimson) is the debut studio album by English progressive rock band King Crimson, released on 10 October 1969, by Island Records. An early and influential example in the history of progressive rock, it combined rock music influences with elements of jazz, classical, and symphonic music. It is still today a masterpiece of music!
It was King Crimson's most commercially successful album, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time.

The Alan Parsons Project was a British rock band formed in London in 1975. Its core membership consisted of producer, audio engineer, musician and composer Alan Parsons, and singer, songwriter and pianist Eric Woolfson. They shared writing credits on almost all of their songs, with Parsons producing or co-producing all of the recordings, while being accompanied by various session musicians, some relatively consistent.

Just picked up a Kenwood KR-6400 (with Real Simulated Woodgrain™ side panels!) at Value Village for $13.99! Turns on, but just hooked it up and got no output. I imagine it just needs a new fuse (or fuses), but either way, not a bad find at all. I've been wanting to start making up for lost time and brushing up my electronics chops, so a mid-70s stereo is probably a decent place to start.

It's not in immaculate condition, but I'm not really bothered by that. Still quite a handsome unit, and definitely of greater provenance than my dad's old Koren Audio Reflex receiver (not nearly as much power though lol).

A mid-70s Kenwood AM/FM Stereo receiver. It has a silver front panel with several silver knobs, woodgrain panels on either side, and a wide black window spans the width of the unit for the turquoise-lit AM/FM tuner.

Digging around the house for some speakers to go with the Aiwa 22 system. Found a pair of these with the weird dipole tweeters. Not bad, not much low end, but very clear vocals and wide, wide spread from the tweeters. Certainly unusual!
