Need advice on building a system from a mishmash of components!
The 3 items worth keeping are the 2105 Mac amp the B&W 705 and the Pioneer tuner. These 3 items will keep a solid resale value. Then focus on getting the best sound per dollar. A late model Mac preamp will be a great improvement over both curr... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
@bdp24 +1 The religious aspect of Bach could keep some away. @larsman -1 What would make you think at 91 you would like jazz? To answer the OP’s question the recording and production quality of newer releases(past 10-15 years) especially on vi...
