Hi Guys
I have now become a Technics owner...it begins with a T but its not a Turntable but a Tuner.
As some of you are aware I have embarked on gathering up a number of 70's Japanese Tuners, and as part of my tuner survey/write up/review, I have been able to get one of these a Technics-ST-8077K. This dates from 1978 and was part of Technics Pro range. Its designed for rack mounting and my sample had no feet..(if you get one then stick on feet are what you will need).
I had not intended posting to many details about my write, before I publish it, but there is one of these on E-Bay at the moment, and my preliminary listens are very favourable indeed...so if you need a slim line tuner which sounds very good then you might want to have a punt at this one.
The Technics-ST-8077K is not particularly pretty and its a wee bit awkward to use...small controls and tuning knob, but its sound quality more than makes up for this. This opinion is not definitive in context of my up coming write up (its only a preliminary opinion), but the Tuner Information Network like it, and its quite far up their own review/shoot out list.
I will add photos later that I have crabbed off the net.... Thanks go to Gordon for the Technics.
