My sixth stereo, Harman Kardon 3380

by cleaverb

  My sixth stereo is a Harman Kardon 3380Z receiver bought on eBay for $131 total.

The Z stands for 'reconditioned' . These are brand new in 2007 at around $250.00 .
Featuring 80 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohm from 20Hz to 20KHz with .07% THD.
With this, I finally found enought power to satisfy me.

I went and bought a factory reconditioned FL 8385 5 disk CD changer from the same eBay seller, which is the official HK rep, harmanaudio.It was not functioning on arrival. So, I tried the ol' flashlight trick, but it didn't work.This deck is sensitive to moisture, and so only works after letting it 'warm up' for awhile. Unless its a hot day.
By now, I have sworn off the EQ, and going with a flat tone . No turntable, no cassette deck. I do have it hooked up to the cable box AND A VHS/DVD player .
And that is my current setup. I'm looking into 5.1 surround, possibly something from Panasonic.But not a 'home theatre in a box' setup.
Yet I am still not up to 6.1 or 7.1 at this time. Mostly, I would like to have a a Prologic decoder for music .
UPDATE
And now, on to my next 'Real' stereo the.... Panasonic SA-HE70
