Sony NR-335

Vintage Sony units truly define an era. 

These 70's modules are by far trend setters of their day.

Here is a somewhat rare cassette Dolby B noise reduction unit from that era. Not to be confused with Thomas Dolby although he was equally innovative! Remember, "poetry in motion" moog music! Interesting fact... He won an achievement award 1998 for Internet music downloads. Interesting because his hits were prior to Internet down loadable content. 

Back to Dolby Labs gem...
It is encased in a true wood cabinet and sports the two massive VU meters so characteristic of the day.
This is a museum quality piece that should be appreciated.

Here are some specs

Built-in Headphone Jack
Two Mic Input Jacks
Two Professional VU Meters
Two-position Mic Attenuator Switch-reduces level of input to minimize input distortion
Tape/Source Monitor Switch
Built-in 19 kHz Filter Switch-eliminates FM multiplex interference
Two Playback Volume Controls - Ultra cool
Two Record Level Controls
Built-in 400 Hz Oscillator for input/output balancing.

Bravo Sony!

Sansui TU-317 Tuner

This 317 is the baby of the HiFi line of 70s TU series tuners. Built beautifully in its sleek black body and fitted for racking this really has the classic look. Great features on an entry level tuner includes FM muting and Noise cancellation, It has amazing sensitivity and frequency response. Sansui also regulates the power supply to continually provide equal power to all circuits. It definitely deserves the title HiFi!

Philips Full Range Loudspeakers

Hi Again Audio buffs, sorry for the lengthy absence! Sometimes our lives are just well...busy!
Here is a fine set of Holland made Philips 4 ways that I was quite happy to acquire.
An 8 inch passive and woofer bring the low end through and the Philips tweeters (which are quite respected from this era) have a very musical and precise tone to them. Keep in mind that they are 4 ohm impedance so I let loose the Pioneer A-70 on them.
I love the old cloth and in this shape they are hard to find. The curved sleek euro look set these apart.
I haven't come across a pair of these until now and really like the euro design and performance.

There is great attention to detail in the construction of these speakers. To be expected from the great Northern Europe manufacturers. Simply beautiful and rare.
