Can you identify these components?

if the rack says SolidSteel that is the brand ... they originally made motorcycle frames I beleive ... SolidSteel racks are more expensive than most of the Target racks

any closer pics of the CD player??? very hard to tell

the tuner could be an FT-101 (not a version) which would make it slightly less valuable on the used market .. then again if it were an FT101a Etude it would be MORE valuable!

I only have the one picture of the front of the stereo unfortunately. The CD deck is a very scarce item on the interwebs. I guess I could ask him and not run much risk of annoyance since I know what most of it is now. I found the rack in a slightly different configuration on an Italian site called a "Targhet" which I guess means Target. As far as the CD player, I know he buys things The Absolute Sound and Stereophile rave about as long as it is a good bang-for-the-buck sort of an item. His philosophy is to buy the cheapest component those sources rave about while studying the issue literally a decade. He researches the crap out of any component he buys, which makes it kind of odd that he hates talking about it but he is an odd guy. I am building my own system using his as a model. I am not sure what he hears in the speakers, but then again I have never had a set and TAS really loves them.

Here's one more picture but it probably won't help.

The amplifier might be a Belles model. Can't really see the front too well though.

Never mind. I re-read your post and see that you already had the power amp identified. I guess I was thrown by the second picture. :)

Thanks you guys for helping. I can ask the owner (my father) what the CD player is next time I get a chance.
