just picked up a mint 3012 tandberg for less than the cost of a night out. will sit next to a mint revox 251, next to an accuphase 100/200/300 combo like new...waiting to get rotated into my main system someday. i love my mac stuff, but have to admit lots of brands made legendary stuff that still sounds great today. i love this hobby
Your Private Audio Museum
Many of you have mentioned that just when you thought your system was complete, you were overcome by the urge to upgrade and once again, found yourself changing components.
Having just missed bidding on an obscure integrated amp on ebay, I realized this weekend that I am suffering from an even stranger affliction, the compulsion to COLLECT and WAREHOUSE audio components, even if I have no time or even the intention to ever plug them in.
I used to imagine assembling systems from different vintages and putting them in different bedrooms as exotic clock radios for my guests.
But now I am wishing that I might have all of these components somehow be part of my listening room or library.
If you already collect - or plan to collect - multiple components or multiple systems, how would you propose storing or displaying everything?
