My Technics EPC 100 MK4 moving magnet cartridge with bandwidth that gives any moving coil a run for the money and has enough output it can work into a moving magnet phono stage. I can only guess what it would be like if 40 years of improved knowledge and materials were applied to it. Beyond that while I really enjoy my system if I won the lottery big it would all change. |
Easy. It would be the operator (me). I'm the only component that cannot be replaced without the entire system collapsing! All kidding aside, in 40 years I've replaced every component many times over. There hasn't been one I regret selling as I've always enjoyed newer and (usually) better components, and a few vintage ones. For me, the journey and enjoyment of a wide variety of components has been central to my love of high quality audio. Fun question though. It instigated quite the trip down memory road!

@tlcocks Yup. I did forget to mention that MQ 112 !!! Ty. And I do still love it. Only wish it had a remote. I hate getting out of my listening chair if I need to adjust the sound. |
My 47 year old JBL 4311 speakers. I've auditioned 5 other candidates with no luck. I'm currently listening to a pair of ATC SCM20 Passives. It's only the second day but so far, I'm not that impressed. When my dealer set them up yesterday, he briefly listened to my JBLs. He knows that's the competition. His jaw briefly dropped and he kind of smiled and said "those sound really good". If I end up returning them, I don't know what's next. I've heard the ATC 50s and was very impressed, but that's not in my budget right now. |
