I have about 3,000 LP's.I have two turntables.I play about 5 LP's a year.I no longer buy vinyl, at 64 years of age, I already have more records than I'll ever have time to listen to.  I primarily listen to cd and streaming.

phase linear amplifiers
g_nakamoto, you should re-read your post. You had the amp for nearly 30 years before it broke down. 25-plus years of service is commendable for any amplifier.I’d say it was pretty well designed to last that long. After 20 years you should have had...
