Last week a close friend of mine had to move from her house. Prior to her move, she had a garage sale and sold a number of items. However, in the pile of items she did not sell was a Sony STR V5 that she requested I take or she would throw it in the trash.

I'm not too familiar with it but upon lifting it found it quite hefty. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a large toroidal transformer in the power supply.

I've only briefly hooked this thing up and thus far it sounded pretty good. Gotta see what it sounds like with some decent sources and speakers.
