MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin

My first receiver was a Pioneer SX-3600...

It did not take long for one of the push button switches (Speaker A, IIRC) to break. After a couple of weeks in the shop another broke right after I got it back (maybe Tape Monitor? I cannot remember). I got it fixed again. The guy at the shop told me Pioneer got a batch of bad switches. I said screw it and sold it. I bought my first JVC. The RX-40.

That receiver kicked ass. Stereo Review gave it a rave review for it's amp section saying it was worth the price alone. The preamp. EQ and tuner sections were added bonuses. I kept it until I bough a Hi-Fi VCR and CD player. I ran out of inputs so I sold it to a friend and bought the one you saw in the recapping thread. I wish I would have kept the RX-40. It would have been a great receiver to have in the bedroom, etc.
