Description

Sony STR-V7 Flagship Receiver – Monster 150W Vintage Amp Restored, Level 3 Service, Gold Binding Posts, Cherry Wood Panels

Presenting a truly exceptional example of Sony’s most powerful and iconic flagship vintage receiver—the STR-V7. Meticulously restored to our Level 3 service standard and upgraded for ultimate performance and flexibility, this 1970s “monster receiver” combines power, prestige, and style in one breathtaking package.

Why This STR-V7 Stands Out
Sony’s 1970s Flagship Model: The top of the V-Series line, delivering 150 watts per channel of authoritative Class AB power. Legendary among collectors for its dynamic slam, precision, and rich musical warmth.

Radique Level 3 Restoration: All critical capacitors refreshed, controls and switches cleaned + relubricated, relays and protection circuits tested, tuner aligned, and output bias expertly matched for flawless operation.

Tasteful Custom Upgrades:

Gold-plated 5-way binding posts (bananas/spades/bare wire) – massive upgrade from weak factory spring clips.

Discrete pre-out / main-in RCAs – an audiophile essential for bi-amping, external processors, or system expansion (a feature Sony never included).

Handcrafted Ottawa Valley Cherry side panels – richer and more elegant than the original walnut; a visual showpiece.

Technical Specifications
Power Output: 150 W/ch RMS (8Ω, 20–20,000 Hz, <0.03% THD, both channels driven)

Frequency Response: 5 Hz – 50 kHz (±1 dB)

Input Sensitivity: Phono MM (2.5mV/50kΩ), Aux/Tuner (150mV/50kΩ)

Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 95 dB (Aux), 78 dB (Phono)

Damping Factor: 70

Pre-out / Main-in RCA pairs (custom upgrade)

Heavy-duty toroidal transformer and dual power supply

Superb FM/AM tuner with analog linear dial and multipath indicator

Weight: 62 lbs (28 kg)

Dimensions: 21.2″ x 6.85″ x 17.95″ (540 × 174 × 456 mm)

Controls: Bass / Mid / Treble, Loudness, Variable filters, Dual tape monitor, Speaker A/B/C

Design & Presence
The STR-V7 exudes late-1970s industrial luxury—milled aluminum faceplate, rigid chassis, and serious build quality. With the addition of handcrafted Ottawa Valley Cherry side panels, this unit elevates itself even beyond factory presentation, becoming a timeless flagship showpiece for your home audio system.

Asking $3195; buy with confidence and benefit from Radique’s “Bumper to Bumper” warranty and Perpetual trade back policy.

Sony began in Tokyo in 1946, founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, and it helped bring the world the Walkman and the compact disc. We carry Sony stereo and AV receivers, CD players, cassette decks, amplifiers and speakers. We've had more than 220 Sony listings so far, covering more than 185 different models. Every used Sony here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Sony models we've sold more than once include the TC-K61 cassette deck, the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 CD players, the STR-DA5700ES AV receiver and the STR-4800SD stereo receiver.

The Sony story, 1946 to today

Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo ("Totsuko") in Tokyo in 1946, growing out of a radio repair business Ibuka had started the year before. The company was renamed Sony in 1958.

Tape and transistors. The G-model tape recorder of 1950 is described as Japan's first, and the TR-55 transistor radio of 1955 was the first Sony-branded product.

ES. Sony describes the TA-1120 integrated amplifier of 1965 as the first all-silicon-transistor stereo amplifier and dates its ES ("Elevated Standard") line from it.

Walkman and CD. The Walkman went on sale in Japan in July 1979. Sony worked with Philips on the compact disc, and Sony's CDP-101 was among the first CD players on sale in Japan in October 1982. Sony still makes ES AV receivers.

Which Sony is which?

STR receivers: stereo receivers from the late 1960s on, such as the STR-6120, and later AV receivers, including ES models.

TA amplifiers and ES separates: from the TA-1120 to the TA-E86 preamplifier and TA-N86 power amplifier (1978).

CDP CD players: from the CDP-101 (1982) and CDP-701ES (1983) to changers such as the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 we sell often.

TC tape decks: reel-to-reel recorders until 1985, and cassette decks such as the TC-K61 and the three-head TC-K777ES.

SS speakers: such as the SS-G7 floorstanders of 1978.

Buying used Sony: what to check

CD players. Open and close the drawer several times; hesitation can be an early sign of trouble. Laser pickups wear, skipping is a symptom, and tray belts age.

Cassette decks. Belts dry out and cause slipping or uneven playback, and worn heads dull the sound. Run fast-forward and rewind, and check Dolby.

Amplifiers and receivers. Noisy switches and dirty relay contacts cause many faults, and bias settings drift with age. On tuners, look for blown bulbs and broken dial cords.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
