Your feelings on vintage audio.
Can be very cool and worth it but it will depend on a lot of things IMO. Cost to get the vintage item, parts and repair costs to name a few. If you are a DIYer vintage gear is great. For me not being a DIYer repair and parts costs have been a pain... 
new audiophile education
Hi DvdgrecoThose 3 brands could be all that you need. They would be for me. Granted ones wallet will be a lot lighter. That is great you can audition them. Buying, selling and trading online you can't always audition and if the sound doesn't fit i...
