One turntable weighs 122 lbs without the platter, another 105 lbs. I have two SS stereo amps that weigh around 90 lbs each and a 300b amp that’s close to 9 lbs a watt. At this point I’m still able to wrangle them all, but the day will come in the not-too-distant future when this will no longer be true, and I rue that day.

I had a McIntosh AMP, MC2250, 250wpc, 80lbs.
I lifted it out of a low shelf in a tight space, felt a 3rd meniscus tear in my 'bad' knee while lifting.
