Thanks for the info. I still think I’m stuck in the 70’s music wise. It wound be grand to get the old Garrard zero 100 turntable rocking again. I’m still using my giant 5 way Op 9 speakers from 1972. I once saw an “Allied” tuner/receiver from the 50’s that had automatic scanning. I really couldn’t believe the advanced state of the art it represented and it was a tube amp at that.

I also love the older gear. I still have my parents' Technics SL1200 and always will - superb Japanese engineering, built like a tank, still in the same magnificent condition my father always kept it in and a pleasure to behold (yeah, I know it's direct-drive and wasn't considered an audiophile turntable but my old man knew what he was doing lol).

Some plastic covering a DAC and a power supply doesn't exactly compare, but the music - if engineered correctly - has never sounded better. And I never have to worry that I'm stressing the vinyl if I play a song twice in a row or if I want to cue up a guitar solo a few times because I like it. The recordings will sound as good in 30 years as they do now.
