Unfortunately all of my equipment is in storage while we remodel the house, so none of the pictures have the units turned on.

First off I have my fathers equipment:

Sansui 2000 amp


Akai X1800-SD Reel to Reel with 8-Track player


Sansui 5 way speakers. One sub, two mids, two tweeters.

He got this when he was in Vietnam, and had it shipped home. It still works great, and is usually set up in the living room hooked up to our TV.

Here is my equipment:


I picked up the Sansui 1000X at a garage sale for $5. It came with a tape deck (Broken), and two speakers (one was blown). I had to use some cleaner on the input selector, but now it works great.

The Sansui AU7900 was actually free from a neighbor. They were throwing it out because it was "too heavy".



The SE-7 is was $10 at a garage sale. It works, but I need to clean up some of the sliders.

I just usually keep mine hooked up to my computer for music playback.

Do you ever use this? How does reel tape and 8-track sound?

Like CuddleChunks said, lots and lots of hissing. 8-tracks are bad, but the reel to reel can be acceptable if you record at a fast enough speed and tweak the hiss filter on the amp.

Once I converted my fathers old reels to CDs I kinda stopped using it. I only occasionally hook it up to record my own 8-tracks for use in our old truck.
