You can’t comment on the sound without the equalizer.

Fantastic video !!! For a non-professional, your skill are quite impressive !! In the video, I didn't see any damping material. Was it really like this or did you remove it before filming? I like your videos !!! Bye !!

Is 77 better than 7. I got a pair today thinking it was 7 but it was 77.

Great review, however; at 4:57, you said “all the wood ones were made in Korea” That’s FALSE/ i have a pair i bought 9yrs. ago from Thrift shops, paired with matching Realistic 8Track. On the back of my Minimus 7w says CUSTOM MFD. IN JAPAN FOR RADIO SHACK A Division of TANDY CORP.

I love vintage speakers I have a pair of those myself they are built with such class.. durability.. and quality.. they were built in the 1970s and sound just as good as the day they were sold.. it literally speaks volumes😂

Nice receiver by the way.with some 79 SB-F2 from technics will sound amazing ,the problem is knowing if it is the 79 model and not the 1980 when of the hi-fi Armagedeon

the auto-reverse function isn´t for high-end deck ,it put´s it with diferent azimuth everytime you turn the heads after only some monthes of not heavy use, when older decks say dolby nr, aren´t dolby B but the A(so to speak), as it was the first ,only later the dolby B apeared

several bought this deck ,i bought the next year model as it had calibration already(manual),i think the reference had only a extra "X",later bought the DRM-800a and i´m still using it today, no calibration but perfect no other Denon built as good as this one not before nor after, but the DRM-700a was the same but with regular heads this had the so not loved amourphous heads

I have the Technics SL-QL15 from 1983. It is very similar, except it is quartz locked and title programmable.

Have a pioneer sx6000 driving my cs 77a's bought in 1972 still rockin

Thanks for the video dude. I just picked one of these up and your vid was pretty helpful. Good day.

Awesome project!

Just agreed on buying one pair tomorrow. Planning to do the same thing with them, it be would be really helpful for me if You could share the list with all capacitors needed for replacement. Great video btw. Thanks in advance 🖐️

I bought a pair of Nova 7B's when I was 15. They were on sale so I was able to get a pair for 59.95 (half price). They were Great! I put them up against other speakers my friends had (good speakers--Bang & Olufson and AR--don't remember the models) and they really held their own, especially for the price. When I lived in the dorms a couple years later, I matched them with a very early model Onkyo receiver (40 watts per channel). Onkyo was new at the time. I was the only guy in the dorm who could crank the volume all the way up and not get noticable distortion. Their 20-20K rating was accurate as all frequencies were clear and even. I flipped the switch on the back and just picked the setting that matched my ear to the room. I wish I still had them...

I love the smell of Liquid Gold in the morning. Smells like ... Victory. 😊

People these days are listening to the terrible sound of those horrible smart phones and do not know what true high fidelity sound is like. The mainstream MP3 players aren't much better. Any of these great stereo components will blow today's ignorant people away.

I bought a fully automatic Sharp RP-113 linear tracking turntable 40 years ago in my teens and I'm still listening to it today with regular, almost daily use. What amazes me most is that records that I've been playing on it for the entire time that I've owned it still sound brand new. The needle sits perfectly in the grooves and basically doesn't degrade the vinyl with slight angular misalignments like regular tonearms do over time. Personally, I wish companies would put these turntables back into production because they're as close to perfect as a turntable can get, imho that is. Another plus with the needle sitting perfectly in the groove is the enhanced quality of listening pleasure because the needle doesn't miss any of the groove surface. I have had it professionally cleaned and oiled twice with belt replacements both times because rubber is a natural product that degrades over time... but when you think about it, two maintenance trips over 4 decades is incredible too. Great video. It's nice to hear a solid positive review of a linear tracking turntable because for the life of me, I don't know why companies phased out such an obvious and successful innovation in turntable design.

Good video. I have three of these. I have a video of one on my channel with original RE-7070 speakers which have a woofer and tweeter, a pari of smaller Panasonic full range speakers stacked, and the original Panasonic BSR mini record changer that was optional. Like you said, it sounds like poop but it's styling a build quality make all the diffeence. I just wish Panasonic would have paid as much attention to sound quality as the did build quality with these units. A little Technics quality in these would have been appreciated.

I have the bose 301 series 3 that a bought brand new in 1993 i love them, i think they sounded great.

For home theater they also have sound transparent screens for the projection to project the movie on. And often have speakers behind the screen…

Have Technics SL-V5, direct drive vertical turntable with linear tonearm. Like to play picture records on it. Have a J33, programmable linear tonearm, can pick tracks to play

Reminds me of a couple of Yorx all-in-ones I have. They might be cheap on the inside, but they look nice and sound surprisingly good for what they are. The 70s ones, anyway. After that, not so much lol

Fantastic video! Clear visuals, great presentation and a positive, fun vibe. One small thing I will add for anyone seeing this comment is that you can adjust the individual input levels of the level and right channels, because the input knob is actually two parts that can be rotated independently. Once again, a great video, and a killer deck to boot (tape tuning, damn)!

I want to add something. It seems most people use this amp connected to entirely wrong speakers. They seem to use small, low efficiency speakers. I suggest big high efficiency speakers. Last night I connected the amp to my Klipsch Heresy speakers and they sound excellent. I know most people are not going to use a $20 amp with speakers like these but if you have Heresey's try it out.

Excelente equipo

Listening to your review of Minimus 7 speakers on a pair of Minimus 7 speakers. Also, these are simply the best speakers for voice reproduction. I'm a Amateur Radio operator and use these exclusively on all of my radios. There is no comparison for how much better these sound than any of the speakers produced by Icom/Kenwood/Yaesu for their radios and they cost WAY less.

When you take the drivers out of the box and put them back in, do you have to use some kind of glue or something else?

Please note that the power requirments of the cigarette lighter are not as great of high draw wiribg connected or capable of handling hifher loads than say the car or truck outlet for as such probably best not to plug older or high load devices like that player into a cigarette lighter if bot ph the cig lighter and power outlet for car outlets or a newer vehicle like ford escapes thatvhave a ac household outlet built into them for phone chargers.. assuming those can handle the load either.

I feel like this is video geared for 10 year-olds LOL

Thanks for sharing. I saw a set of these for sale but the seller wanted a lot more than what you paid all-in and were in as-found condition. One note: Take a look at the Howards line of wood restoration/rejuvenation products instead of Old English. Will get a surprising result!

got myself a set of Beovox Penta speakers and after seeing your video I think I will replace the capacitors,. they sound nice right now but maybe better when I replace them. Use to own the beovox MS 150-2 and always regret selling them. the bass poort was in the underside and by moving the speakers on the stand back of forwards you could control the bass.

I got brand new 2013 901 on stands with equalizer..sounds great .at times i must jiggle the tape monitor source small button on equalizer as chnl on either side can b diminished..they sound great...also got 2013 cinemate2 with flr bass.for tv ..great

in the uk the original format was with a long grey speaker wire with the two pin plug, prewired through ther back of the speaker cabinet. but those speakers had amazing tolerance. with no other speakers to hand i once 'borrowed' my dads and put 600 watts through them for 6 hours, after chopping the wires. like in weird science, i had them back before he was, and he never noticed.

These speakers remind of if ADS that sold in the late 70s. They sounded much LARGER that they were (~ 5"x7"x4"). Very unusual! They had high-excursion woofers.

Resenting the Japanese had nothing to do with racism.

We had a pair of those EXACT speakers that we took on trade, and they never sold for as long as I was there. I did not like them. But I am shocked at how good the inductors are in the crossover. Really quality parts. Bravo, B&O.

I recently scored a set of S75s at a local auction house (no stands unfortunately) and I immediately swapped out the inputs with new binding post/cups like you did. They sound fantastic, but I think I am going to swap the caps like you did. Thanks for the video!

Explaining how to hook up a speaker to an amp is a bit remedial.

Those are in immaculate condition. You scored big time.

Have you seen a Panasonic Take'nTape portable cassette recorder like one I was gifted as a kid in 1978? It was white plastic (with the black plastic handle if I recall) like the square model but rectangular rather than square? I haven't seen it anywhere.

I have the Yamaha CR2020 and it sounds awesome, the Best $25 dollar find that I have found.

For soldering I recommend using flux!
