Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy?
I generally disagree with your friend. I've had the new (a Krell, Conrad Johnson) but I've kept the classics. I'm a fan of vintage Yamaha. Have had a CR1020 integrated since purchased new in 1979 and an MX1000U amp/CX1000U preamp with the family e...

Turntable on a $5k budget?
I agree w/ Davt about budgeting for a decent record cleaning machine. Makes a very real difference. I suggest a Sota Saphire with Shelter 501. Saw a little used Shelter 901 on A'Gon just the other day. Talk to the friendly folks at Sota for the be... 
Recommendations for auto or semi auto turntable

Top 5 guitar jams
Glass Harp (P. Keaggy) - Never Is A Long Time.Lou Reed / Steve Hunter - Intro/Sweet JaneJust too many to isolate just 5 but Allman Bros., Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray V., and Chris Whitley would make my list with a whole lot of their art. 
some 70's and 80's receivers seem to be popular
Yamaha. The MX 1000U & CX1000U combination especially. Exceeds or at least compares to reproduction quality of units costing much more today. No question about it. 
best phono-stage for 1200$ max.
I had the PS Audio GCPH and found it exceptional for the money. In addition to sounding very good it has terrific, easy variability of adjustment with all of the settings one might want no matter which arm/cart setup they may have, or, how they li...

I'm telling ya, check out Yamaha for best sound including solid, rich bass. 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
You've only touched the surface with The Beatles. They were of course immensely influential but they were also influenced. And no, it wasn't The Rolling Stones either although they also influenced what has developed into today's "modern music". Yo...
