Why can't I find full systems like this anymore? Now it's buy speakers separately, buy the receiver separately. And say I do that but then the receiver output is either too much or too little for the speakers. And like in the stars if the receiver it doesn't display the output. Am I turning into a boomer? /rant

Peak 80s tech. If this setup was in a house of someone I knew, I would have begged my parents relentlessly to visit just so could "oh" and "ah" over it.

I couldn't afford a complete set, so my 'Stareo' corner was made up of several unrelated components. Rabco, Marantz, Sony and a used Nakamichi Amp, along with some scuffed up Kenwood speakers. I could make the dishes in the kitchen rattle when playing 'Funeral for a Friend'...

I can still hear the shattering and popping of the safety glass door, when one fell off as I was rolling it across my dorm's parking lot to my car.

The ones where you press the volume button on the remote and the physical knob on the unit spins blew my mind.

My dad's rca receiver does this & I find it endlessly amusing because it doesn't appear to be a feature they specifically wanted to add, it looks like it was a matter of "we have a physical potentiometer volume knob & need to add remote volume control. What's the easiest way to implement that feature? I know! Just slap a motor on the back of it & have *that* turn the knob!". Genius.
But honestly, I do love that it does that. Just wish the VFD worked.

Your parents could hear that that thing opening from work.

It's actually more of a feel than just a sound... the haptics of it.
UnlimitedTrickPony
me too ... then, when you spread out the LPs on the carpet in front of the set

I've got three of these and three more as CDs ...

Sony and technics were the royalty of the bad boys. We had a technics when i was a teenager, it was awesome. Had more buttons than the shuttle. And it was LOUD. REALLY LOAD. Especially when Van Halen Jump was playing. Our neighbours used to give out stink to my dad. My Dad would day, what song was playing, they'd say AC/DC (brother) Queen (Other brother) led zeppelin (Dad) Tina tuner (Mam). We were all guilty. Shame not to turn it up on those yokes.

What is the device second from the top? Graphic Equalizer?

I haven't heard this since the 90s. Why can I hear it still? I can barely remember why I went to the kitchen.

The magnetic clasp releasing...the sound being amplified as it passes through the glass pane....the slight wobble as it releases open.....all those analog buttons, sliders and dials..... perfection.

My Sony TA-V702 from 1990 (equalizer, double cassette deck & turntable) is still rocking (cassette mechanism rubbers are busted, though)
AngelicalDaemon
wow! we had a marantz (am I saying I’m old?) and went to see if they still existed! and they exist now and make turntables!
odevon96538339
You should see the high end equipment and turntables made by McIntosh. Crazy nice but really expensive
mjperk
Yep, they make really nice stuff. The vintage equipment is very highly sought after and can fetch serious $$$. I have a Cinema 50 AVR and absolutely love it.
SaturnineCult
I got 80's Marantz tape deck for free, belt was melted and I put just random too thin belt there to test. And it works flawlessly with that.
jonlancaster
Yeah, Marantz makes pretty much everything associated with mid high end AV gear.
Itslukus
Looks like they got with the times lol
WhyWouldIUseMyRealNick
Well they make a lot of hifi gear, like 8k home theater amps and wireless speakers. Just like most quality audio manufacturers.
Rodley
Sigh...I miss mine.

Pretty sure my family has this exact same unit. We got it at Sam's Club for my dad's birthday. My mom was surprising him with it, and each of the kids got to give him a CD to go with it. I gave him Elton John's Greatest Hits Vol 2. Core memory unlocked!

You should probably give it back then.

I know this is genuine because of the first pull open slip.
SaturnineCult
Should adjust that a bit, sounds like it's rubbing the cabinet!

I noticed that too when I did that. It'll be a weekend chore
