I just have some old stereo equipment that I have had for years...it works just fine for me...So I don't know much about any fancy schmancy "High End" stereop equipment...I just have a McIntosh MR 78, Mac C-27 Pre amp, Mac MC 2125 Amp, Thorens TD 165 Turntable, and a pair of JBL L 65 Studio Monitors.
Now I guess I wouldn't mind owning one of Macs Tube Amp say a MC 2102....100 watts a Channel, or even one of their MC 275s...but I would also like an MC500 or MC 1000 to.
