Summary

  • A Technics stereo stack has been transformed into an impressive neo-retro PC case named ‘TechnicsPC’ in a BlueSky post.
  • The receiver includes two LCD screens, USB ports, a power switch, a card reader, and a DVD/CD drive, with the scrolling LED display atop the tuner module being the most nostalgic feature.
  • Following the motto “retro never sounded so good”, the user agreed that the only drawbacks were minor issues with the info delays.
  • More and more people are turning to vintage hi-fi equipment due to its authenticity, “built-like-a-tank” durability, warm sound, and unique appearance, with analogue amplifiers also making a comeback.
  • A similar project from 2020 turned a Panasonic RX- ZE551 receiver into a PC case, keeping the original speakers.
  • Vintage audio enthusiasts also make modern rips of their favourite old school tunes to get the best of both worlds, enjoying high-quality audio from retro equipment.
