| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? Enthusiastic 'yes' to upgrading the VACs and enjoying then for another 20 years, God wish. I am only a few years from you age wise. Like you, I am in the process myself of determining the baseline system for the next 15 or 20. My Prima Luna amp... | |

| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice 6 X 9 rooms ... sounds like the 8 X 10 room I had in an apartment in Astoria years back. I used a Marantz 2216B receiver with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s and a bare bones TEAC CD player and it was pretty damn nice. If you want that vintage look, I ... | |

| Will I Hear A Difference? @flasd - yes, you are going to hear a big difference. How could you not hear a big difference given the two very different turntables & associated equipment that was in use? Two questions (at least) - Is the difference worth what you are abo... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? The pettiness & snipping is getting to be something else around here. Given everything we have heard about supply chain shortages (hell there are prescriptions I need that I can not get), why take aim at anyone or anything? In any event, p... | |
