  1. I used to own a complete Technics system, but am down to just one of their early 1980s linear tracking turntables. The complete audio system market has shrunk alot since the introduction of digital music, which is a shame.

    1. The problem with having had those great sound systems is that today you are never really comfortable with the digital HMDI soundbars and wireless woofers that seems to be the new standard.
      But since you can't get the soundtrack to the Netflix program on vinyl ...

  2. If you were to play most anything recorded in the last 20 years on that system, like waterboarding, it would classified as a torture mechanism, not a sound system.

  3. I have the Onkyo brand in that style. The absolute best sound of any stereo I have ever owned.
