RE: Not true then...

I was pretty well out of audio during the 1970's, after being in it throughout the entire 1960's, so I can't speak about that time period. I didn't buy any new equipment (just more LPs and a few prerecorded tapes) through this period. I was content with my Marantz 7T and MAC 275 that I inherited from my grandfather.

It was only after the CD vs. LP debate heated up in the 80's that I started getting new equipment, starting with an infamous Sony CDP-101, which was still working a few years ago when I last recall powering it up. Well made, but sounded like s***. In the 80's I also started to read TAS. And yes, I agree the early rack systems were pretty horrible on those occasions that I heard them.
