Built in 1977 by (a partner or subsidiary of Pioneer), this uncommon tuner is said to have been designed by Pierre Cardin, update: enthusiast claims it was actually designed by Allain Caire, an acolyte of Cardin who has dabbled in things other than clothing.This thing is a tank – well, more like a ’50s Cadillac. I have fond childhood memories of playing with the. The aluminum dials and buttons have a heavy, well-built that is rare these days.
Changing the volume is so smooth it reminds one of power steering. And you gotta love those hefty handles, necessary for lugging this hunk of metal and walnut veneer.The type is a pre-digital version of Eurostile Extended.».
Seth=L,Thanks for the review and follow up on the Teac CR-H220. I've been looking for a receiver to use in my wife's office to drive a pair of Klipsch Heresy's. I'm a fan of the Teac LP-700 three channel, but for her office a receiver will be the ticket. If I'm understanding correctly the Teac AG-H800 receiver is a tripath amplified unit.
The CR-H220 would be nice for the office with the combo CD player, but I'm thinking that the CR-H220 is not use a tripath amplifier. Is this correct? Any thoughts appreciated. Who had them for $70 shipped? Amazon?A place called OrangeChimp has the receiver along for $99 refurbished. Looks like they sell primarily refurbished items, but they seem to mark them up too much.I used to have the address and phone number of the CA company that does the actually refurbishing for Teac.
I bought some items direct from them about four years ago. If you still have the warranty card for your Teac system, it may have the phone number right on it. I know the company was called 'Tri-' something or other. If you have the #, please LMK. Who had them for $70 shipped?
