I hear you. I have a Victor TT 71 drive in a Victor CL-2P plinth with two tonearms, Audio research SP8MKII, McIntosh MC40 monoblocks and Altec Valencias. I couldn't be happier. It would take a lot of money to beat this system.

Vintage equipment sounds awesome
Hello, well I have put together some vintage equipment and some new and I have to admit it is the best sound I have heard so far that I have ever owned. I have a Denon DP-62L turntable, a Audio Research SP10 preamp, VTL 225 and VTL 85 mono block power amps, a Velodyne ULD-15 subwoofer, a pair of Vandersteen 2C's, A Yamaha T2 FM only tuner. All of this equipment is 30 plus years old and performs great. The items that are new are a pair of Martin Logan ESL X's, an Aurender ACS 10 and an ifi DAC and power and audio cables throughout, mostly Wireworld. I would put this up against just about any system. As the old saying goes "if it aint broke don't fix it". Happy listening!
