Hi Barrie, What's your take on the SX-88 receiver...?
They sure do look attractive enough, but man oh man, do they ever command the big bucks come re-sale time! Is it as good as the dollars it attracts, or is there some kind of mystique / aura surrounding that rig? I sure am curious... That SX-28A sounds like a FB classic, too --- its only drawback, from what I've heard, is the oddball impedance of the audio output transformer for 'phones, & lack of access to specific fixed capacitors because of the switching design of it (like trying to replace a spark plug in certain GM cars with air conditioning!).... Hey, now THERE'S a good spin on this thread: personal opinions re. what's wrong with "classic" rigs, per first-hand experience. If anyone wants me to start with my stable, I'd be more than happy to do so!
