"aiwa 7300"
bought it used from audio gold in the late 80s, when richard was still in his first premises. it was for a daughter, then early teenage. it always had a sweet, rich tone; still does; has never faltered, despite all the moves that youth is heir to. paired it with JPW mini-monitors, justly praised on this site. in some ways preferred the sound to my quad/kef system; more accurate. finally retrieved it (and the JPWs) from her because it was "too big"; true enough, could hardly carry it upstairs. she wanted something that looked better. a ruark MR1. doesn't sound better though, and won't, even with the addition of a REL TZero. & the aiwa will still sound good when she throws the MR1 out in 10 years time with all the other rubbish hanging around from 2014. i think i paid £20. Anyone want it? i have a quad to support.
