Let me pull a chair up to the fire and roast a marshmallow or two.
I have two pieces that are very close in age and used regularly. First the wonderful Zenith A-508-R am radio which was made ( I think ) in 1956. The Zenith resides on the kitchen counter and regularly gets tuned to news and sports. Second, built sometime following 1954 is a pair of McIntosh MC-30's. These were rebuilt a few years back by Yves Beauvais, the former director of re-issues for Atlantic Records. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, children of all ages, before your very eyes they will transform your musical experience. They, by my ears, are superior ( by a musical margin ) to any vintage McIntosh amplifier and give many more modern reference amps a run for their money. There is a reason that Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds uses a pair in his Blue Heaven recording studio. ( along with VTL ) G |

My SME V tonearm. I bought mine from a good friend who originally bought it for his Linn LP-12 only to find out it did not pair well. He put it in his closet used but like new for over 15 years. I bought it from him about 9-10 years ago.

My dad's AR-XA turntable with a Shure V15 Type 2. He had it as long as I can remember, which is age 4, so it is at least 52 years old. I also have his Dynaco electronics, AR speakers, and lots of fabulous records older than me.

My fully restored/modified Yamaha CA-1000 (circa 1974, heck, the year I was born!). I've overspent on this one but this is more of a love affair than pure logic.
