@JimmyBside all the Marantz I've ever seen do. To answer your question. & yes, that's a huge draw for them. Look at other comparable recievers w/ white lighting. Don't go for near the premium that marantz do
I have a Marantz 2225 receiver I bought in 1977 second hand, absolutely beautiful sound and still going strong because it's been looked after and I have no intention of selling it, it will be passed on to my grandson who's had his eyes on it ever since he got into music, I know it will continue to be enjoyed and looked after.
At 4:43 as you're pointing out the Carver TFM15 amplifier, I spotted a Technics SH-9010 Parametric Equalizer. Very cool five band equalizer that lets you adjust the frequency and slope of each band. I owned one back in the late 70's and always regretted selling it. Well, when I saw it in the video I decided to go pay Banana records/audio a visit and found it still on the shelf. It's now on my shelf! Thanks for helping me in my quest to rebuild my stereo from the 70's.
Wow! So much awesome gear! I bought my first piece of Hi Fi gear in 1975. I used to spend a lot of time in stereo stores and I subscribed to Stereo review and others so I have seen many of these. Great memories. Thanks!
@@lucasRem-ku6eb My son has Aspergers and he has very similar issues to yours. It's nothing to be ashamed of. He has a genius IQ but about a 14 year old maturity level even though he's 40.
I used to work at this record store in the mid-90's. I remember Doug having some gear but nothing like this. I am amazed! Lots of people retire and move to this part of Florida. When they pass away their record collections (and now also gear) are sold off.
Back in the early 70's I managed a HiFi shop in Illinois called Pacific Stereo .We had most major brands of equipment. I owned 2 of the best cassette decks at the time . Tandberg TCD 300 and the Advent cassette deck. I recorded music from vinyl to tape on both units Aside from the base being a little less pronounced when I a/b'd a synced record to the cd through a high end system, the sound was almost exact! That really blew me away. I made a cassette for Demoing stereo systems with every type of music that would match up with the customer. I played "In The Mood " ( Benny Goodman) for older folks and it was almost a guaranteed sale 😊 .
Very interesting! Got any pictures of the old store? I'm always looking for vintage store pics and signage too! If you find any email us sales@just-audio.com
Parasound Parasound CEO/President Richard Schram designed some of the house gear for them. He also worked for Pacific Stereo. I have one item he designed, my father bought new. The Concept 4.5 receiver.
I still have my jvc boombox I won’t ever get rid of it…it’s such a powerhouse for a boom box still works and sounds better then what’s on the market comparably today but in the box NICEEEE!!!!
That Nakamichi SR-4A is an excellent receiver, with its Nelson Pass-designed STASIS amp. I own the European-baby variant, the SR-2E, and it is one hell of a nice-sounding receiver.
NEW YORK CITY Hip Hop D.J.’s of the early 1970’s to the Mid 1980’s would NOT want to Leave that place myself included that place is HEAVEN, all that Vinyl and Audio Equipment ❤
Oh that first Pioneer receiver took me back to the 70's. A friend had one and i eventually bought it. Now if you can just find me some Jensen speakers with the 10in woofers.... Wow, them flyweighted floaty tuners just feel right
WOW! I thought I had a lot of stuff already, but this place is absolutely insane! WHERE is this place?? I would LOVE to go there and maybe get some truly unique stuff that I don't have myself!
Man u are in real heaven thier. I really believe that the older reciver and the big old speakers are so amazing!!!! The old reciver and older speakers last for every. Time to have a block party!!!!
Awesome..I'm glad y'all were able to make it over there..and I'm happy to see that Doug decided to be on camera..he's the man...I have a few more places to check out for next time...St Pete/Tampa is audio heaven...
I stumbled on this video and because TRAUMATIZED and couldn't stop looking at all those Classic Electronics! Can you order online? Are there equipments that works? GREAT VIDEO!
I have a Pioneer SX 1250 , PL 530 turn table CTF 750 cassette deck and a RT 1011 H reel to reel. Bought when I was 18 yrs old and still have them and all are working great. Always loved the look of the Pioneer silver series. Oh I am 68 now. I ditched the pioneer 100 watt speakers and bought a pair of JBL
really cool store , ive never seen so many 45's in one spot there is a bit of everything there , Elvis had a crown system at Graceland i think he was running around 650 watts RMS with his setup
Bananas is in St Pete!!! I know if you're not from Florida it's all basically the same but Bananas is an amazing record shop that has tons of gear. Used to go there all the time and go to the Italian place across the street for lunch. Those were the days
The vintage stereo of two channels stereo pleasant pure sound is a marvelous miracle to many many people on earth, because since 1960 to 1990, these two channels stereo Deck Sound System has enlightened this universe and made rapid tremendous development and research in both science and technology in almost every stream, in physics, chemistry and biology. Its because of this stereo pleasant sound listening.
You get so lucky finding these hifi honey holes would love to check it out sometime 😊 I have some of the peices you went by on the shelves and some i would like have lol
That's insane, and the albums, holy crap! I always thought the Pioneer CTF1000 was the holy grail of cassette decks. I did have a Teac V909RX when they were out, but always had trouble with it.
@@ricki-bobby with rotational alignment angle bias adjustment its +17kz is the best.... however much music doesnt have that content, it adds a sparkle+
try a reel to reel...actually VCR HIFI is the best!! i started recording in that format starting 1991? its wierd ...totaly silent , 119- 124db s/n, better than cd
Besides all the various audiophile gear, I saw a Radio Shack DX-302(?) Shortwave receiver and both an MPA-20 PA Amplifier (120VAC/12VDC) and an MPA-40. Lots of nostalgia!
When I was a teen I worked in a store that bought and sold vintage audio and I thought there was a lot of stuff but this is of another level. And then the owner says: these 45’s are maybe 10 to 15% of what I have in storage. With what he has, he could probably do a 1960’s CES all by himself. 🤪🫶🏼
i've got 5 of those marantz ma-500 monoblocks powering 5 of 7 speakers for my theater. i replaced all the 'lytics and voltage regulators in them a couple years ago & set the idle current. good amps and they look cool too. . . but they do double as space heaters, even at idle.
I started with a SX-1010 sold it and got a 2330B, still have it but it needs a lot of cleaning and some work to get it running. My CV D-7’s are still in use today.
I found a sansui at a garage sale - model G-33000- the lady who sold it to me it was her late husband who passed a few yrs back and she was selling the last of his equipment - it was in a box - it as they say-blew my mind when I opened the box - she ask 150 for it so I handed it over and off I went -
I had 3 Marantz MA700's and 2 MA500's with a Sunfire Theater Grand Pre amp , powering 5 Polk Audio RTI's , and still cant understand why I ever got rid of that stuff, and how much I would like to have it back, my first bank loan in 1975 was for a Marantz system , Amp, Tuner, Pre Amp , Turn Table, Speakers and a Teac 4 head cassette deck
This is the first time I've seen this video I don't have a lot of time but I catch up on ur vids when I can all I have to say is oh my freaking God if I ever got in there I would problem either faint or crapsalot I've been collecting 4 about 15 yrs now I'm 65 and started collecting what I used to listen too when I was in high school I would spend a lot of money in that place or I would just move in and hope he didn't find me lol great video love the sansui stuff great fan
Yes Bananas is certainly bananas! It’s really overwhelming when you go in there! It’s very important that you make a list of what you’re looking for equipment wise, as well as record wise! Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed and miss getting what you really want!😂
Wow I would have loved to be there I am drooling did you see any lafayette gear I was drooling the whole video and reel to reels and 8 track deck love them I wish I can have it all you are lucky
Just a wonderful plethora of awesome components , I'm a bit of a fan of the technics equipment and I've seen some components you have that I've never seen before , just awesome.

Those old Marantz, Pioneer, & Sansui receivers were great. The Harman Cardon 330c was top rated at the time by Consumer Reports.
Great receiver!
OMG, I bought a Realistic SA1000a when I was in high school! Still using it today! Thanks for sharing that warehouse!!
Man, I would be in HEAVEN visiting a place like that! 👌
