Hi-Fi Gurus: Which of These Two Receivers Is Better?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

Nothing ultra-quality legacy, both would be about $200 new today. The Kenwood is old enough to have Phono jacks. The Sherwood should have a bit more power and might have the advantage of a digital volume control that won't be affected by dirty potentiometers. I would use the Kenwood if you still occasionally play records.

also there's this possibility.

and these guys run sales pretty often.

7.1 ........... sheesh!
a studio I worked in years ago had 8 speakers up when they bought an 8 track Scully (not that car stereo 8 track). Thankfully, they thought smarter when 16 and 24 came along.
7.1 sources of compressed equalized 256kb sound.

Then there's 4K. Saw a demo and it looks amazing. However.

"First, Netflix requires a consistent minimum of 15Mbps of broadband speed for its 4K streams to work, which is well beyond the broadband infrastructure available in many parts of the (even technically developed) world. Second, if millions of us start streaming 4K the sheer quantities of data involved will likely bring many ISPs to their knees."

Thanks for the responses. I do play records in my office, using my son's more modern Kenwood (formerly an NAD, but the FM tuner on that has problems). The Pioneer in the living room is just for FM and maybe TV stereo (no surround or anything like that).

Both probably will be yard-saled/donated if I don't take one.

Take them both, then, and audition each? :dunno:

Well, I can maybe do that next time I'm down helping to dispose of many decades of stuff from my parents' house. I was hoping just the model numbers would trigger someone knowledgable to say one is clearly better (quality) than the other. The Sherwood was in daily use for FM until recently; don't think the Kenwood has been used in 10 years.

And then there are the hundreds of operas my father recorded off-the-air onto tape cassettes and Betamax video. I suppose that'll all end up in a landfill.

I think there is a recycling place in Framingham that takes that sort of thing; I recall looking into it a few years ago with VHS tapes.

MBS, if you can recall the name, please let me know. I can research it, but leads are good.

I cannot find the exact place in Framingham now, but here is the MA DEP website listing. nothing under VHS tapes, though, that I could find.
