If you're asking how to use this to help a budding young enthusiast, the answer is have them listen. Most people have no idea how much difference they are able to hear between components. Vast majority think its only speakers that matter. Heck even the vast majority on this site think its mostly the speakers. With the gear you have sitting around you could easily swap stuff out and introduce someone to the wonderful world of auditioning and evaluating components. Then after they try it at your place send them home with something to swap out and hear how it sounds in their system- whatever that may be. Along the way you get to teach them how it all goes together, what plugs into what, and how it all works. That's what I would do.
Second/Starter Systems and Thoughts on Components...
Audio is such a rewarding hobby/indulgence/pass time and a part of that is that it is very civil. Doing no harm to anyone and it revolves around music. Some of the items I have enjoyed (some greatly) in my bedroom, basement, garage....as a starter for a child...etc. I am a bit older so that has impact on what I have enjoyed. I have used:
Advent Receiver
Nakamichi SR series receivers
Almost any size of the early Advent speakers.
Most of the early Wireworld or Kimber interconnects/cables.
Some of the early Magnepan and Martin-Logan speakers
Much of the early Adcom electronics.
Early Fanfare and esp. Magnum Dynalab Tuners
Early Conrad-Johnson and Audio Research seperates
Early BAT seperates
I am sure you can add to this list. I feel being an older Audio-pile it can help others
in getting their money worth and might just save time. So, please share any good
thoughts you can pass on/share. It is good if we can avoid "what I have is the best"
posts and if we are helping people starting inexpensive systems it may be more of
what we have owned in the past rathe than our current components. And it has always
been helpful for me to learn from others experiences. In the early days of real Audiophile
shops many, many of the sales staff were very helpful/thoughtful and something I can miss
in communications today, kind.
