There's no future in it.
Technology has improved over the years. Modern equipment is most
usually sonically superior to older pieces. That Mac C38 might have
been nice back in the day, but it's been improved upon - a lot.
We've all had some nice pieces we sold and wish we hadn't. So maybe we
shouldn't see equipment. Put it in the closet because maybe we'll want
to use it again in 20 years.

however! some pieces are worth living in the past for.
Example is my Sherwood S-5000. Built in 1958 and restored in 2015. And still today I would take it over A LOT of very expensive new stereos.
But you do make a good point in any case.
And one I am trying to rationalize and not give into the "itch" of wanting a Mac. Wow Mac does have that pull just on looks alone.

Today I use 2 1960s Mc 275s each in mono (about 180 watts each on a good day). Don't know if they're "the best", but they are good enough to take "amps" off my "must improve" or even "might look for better" lists.

You know that is great advice.
I think what I am remembering is "the journey" of finding my sound and system.
Funny but I have it where I want it NOW.
The only thing I wish I could do now is purely cosmetic. Like KILLER matching components or killer McIntosh looks. A remote volume control sure would be nice too.
But sonically I have no desire to change things.
