My first "real" receiver was a Technics 5170. From there I bought an RS-631 cassette deck ($300.00 in 1978 was a chunk of change for a high school kid). I have an SA-700 receiver in my collection, and use an SL-1700 Mk I in my office system to this day. I know there are some Technics fans, and many detractors. Has anyone here pulled the trigger on any of the new (reborn) Technics electronics? Not the TT's, but gear such as this? Stereo Power Amplifier SE-R1 | Reference Class R1 Series | Technics US
