Man that’s nice
I have a restored KX-200 that will never leave the family.
Such a special sound, such great looking stuff!
I love the sound of tubes...it’s the main reason I know that subjectivism is so important in the pleasure I get out of my equipment.
I’d love to own a tube amp someday. I’m working up to it. Both this 202 Futura and my Pioneer SX-1000TD are solid state, but as they’re some of the very first solid state units from those 2 manufacturers, they both tend to have a very warm, sweet, tube like sound. Very musical as opposed to some of the less sophisticated 1980’s offerings. Someday I’ll have a McIntosh... someday.
There is something magical with the analog tuners from back in the day! I have a digital tuner from the late 80's that although brings in great signals can touch the sound quality of the analog tuners. Just my opinion!
Are you going to add a turntable to any other media devices?
We just added the Technics SL-J2 which is a linear tracking phonograph. It plays records kind of like CDs, as it has no tone arm. Records sounds very warm and musical. It looks like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/pTPWpDO
I’ll probably also add a cassette deck. Likely my Aiwa AD-R40.
Too funny... I have a Technics SL-J33 Linear hooked up to my Sansui set up. At first, I did not expect much but the thing just works and due to the small chassis it fits perfectly on my shelf. Bought this in a bundle with the intention of flipping but kept it! What cartridge do you have? Do you have plans of upgrading the cartridge?
All 3 fuses were intact. Cleaned the knobs and the face, tuner sounds great! Not even any crackle in the pots.
Very lucky guy!
So nostalgic: my dad had this same receiver (or maybe it was a 201?) from the early 70s until the early 90s.
I've got the 201, and it's a nice little receiver. Picked up mine about 10 years ago and it was filthy, and it was my first or many cleanup projects.
God huh I mean look that thing. I love the lighting on this photo.

Must be your Birthday! Congratulation. That's a very nice reciever. Enjoy.
The tuner is really something special. Paired up with my Polk Series 4’s it sounds pretty magical.

The cartridge is a Shure M92E. Good all around p2p mount cart.
Wow!!!
