That's not true as my Onkyo TX-SR 705, 805 and 875 as well as the TX-NR905 all have phono inputs.

Mea culpa. That was a bit of a broad statement. I should have said the current receivers I can afford don't have phono inputs.

BTW, all this debate over old stuff/new stuff inspired me to dig out my old Lafayette LR-5555A stereo receiver and Toshiba turntable, and start listening to some of my old vinyl. It's been a long time, but I still like the sound of Linda Ronstadt singing Blue Bayou...even with a few little pops from old dust.
Oddly, the current receivers don't even have a phono input anymore. Imagine that!

If it had NO phono input, i'd pass it over and not buy it.
There are plenty of older receivers around yet...
at garage-sales, estate sales, Goodwill type places and
ads in papers etc etc...

I for one only use a stereo only receiver/amp on my new
HDTV.... just fine for us and keeps it neat with TONS of
quality audio and more volume than i could possibly use toboot.
When we watch movies... there is no lack of sound
So, it may be only stereo (by choice)... but it is QUALITY stereo.

I don't even care to think about a pile of 5 or so LITTLE
plastic boxes all over the room, a rat's nest of cheap wire
and 'tinny' or 'toiletpaper-TUBE like sounds' emitted from them

That.... would be dorky indeed !

Give me intellectual insight on what a good HT
speaker system should consist of scootski.
Also, your perception of "quality stereo" probably differs from mine.

I use audiophile speakers

I purchased 4 Sony LEARNING REMOTE CONTROLS.
Model RM-VL600.

3 are programmed the same & 1 is used as a "spare"
should the need arise in the future.

Any of the older HUGE STEREO speakers of yesterday...
meaning from the 1970s to through the 80s should
provide great Fidelity for your HDTV using a stereo
amp/receiver in combo.

Those big WOOFERS do move the air...

when i play Blues music, sometimes i can feel
the bass compression on my CHEST from the
HUGE Woofers ! Down and dirty NICE !

The little plastic boxes today just don't do it...
they sound like the sound is coming through a
toilet-paper empty tube... cheesy to say the least.

I say... find some nice vintage STEREO speakers
and let them please you to no end !

There are so many exceptional speaker options available today, in fact much better than what was offered just a decade ago, I can't believe you say that. Maybe you should go listen to speakers in a audio store rather than Walmart.

You just proved my point. Thanks...

You have no point at all.

An O-Scope proves my point.
Not your opinion or anyone else's opinion.

A O-Scope doesn't lie... it merely records what
is actually happening visually and then recorded...
and graphed to a document.
As in response graphs which show the DB versus Frequency plots.

Stew4HD · 06-10-2009, 10:21 AM

I don't believe the O-Scope tells the whole story at all. What is the correllation between O-sope and the listener?

I am not even sure what your point here is. Everyone should have "retro" speakers made in Japan? Is that it?

No two people HEAR the same.
Ask your doctor.
CASE CLOSED.

Retro expensive speakers are superb quality.

Thanks for your wonderful insight and opinion

at your retro comment. Those old retro Sears speakers can't hold a candle to my Aperions and I doubt many of your beloved retro's could stand up to many of the Paradigm series.. Enjoy your Japanese retro speakers.

You may believe what you wish
