Step 1: Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated vs their EVO 300 Floyd Hybrid Integrated

Amp Stands - Wood or Stone
Amazon has affordable Pangea amp stands. I've used a bunch of similar stands, they all worked great.  
Classic Marantz and Citation vs modern

Classic Marantz and Citation vs modern
Which classic Marantz and Citation. 50s, 60s, 70s,?
