Advent Model 300 Receiver

Image
Advent Model 300 Receiver Famous for the awesome Tom Holman phono stage, and even though it is a modest 15 watts, it is really plenty of power, AUX inputs for modern devices, and great FM receiver! This one is a fairly rare silver-faced unit, the majority of them were done in black.   Lots of great info on this unit can be found here .

Kenwood KR-8340 vintage quad (quadraphonic) receiver

Kenwood KR-8340 vintage quad (quadraphonic) receiver w/ KCD-2 CD4 Demodulator / decoder SOLD! A few issues here, a lamp out on the dial, a bit of noise in some knobs, needs a good cleaning and De-Oxit I suspect.  The Vintage Knob has a page here on the little brother to this one, almost duplicate features, the KR-8340 just has more power than the KR-7340 did. The KCD-2 module itself often brings as much as $100, as it was an option back then for CD-4 (discreet quad). Cool unit.
