Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Just curious

This has to be the heyday of audio

What is your criteria for stating that?

I confess that I find that today is the golden age. The level of available performance is considerably beyond anything found in that issue. The cost of getting a really good system today is far cheaper in equivalent dollars. You tout the Pioneer player and ask if we can find a better player today for $400? I believe the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, let's use the same $175 dollar amount today (okay $179). Ever hear of a U Turn Orbit?

Used gear can be found aplenty. We figured out why early digital sounded dreadful and fixed it. Convenience has never been higher using devices like the Squeezebox Touch or Sonos players among other pricier models.

And, you can get a Maggie delivered to your door with a 60 day money back guarantee along with an upgrade path for $599! My '76 MG-IIs would cost $2600 today adjusted for inflation.
