I used to get … more. Now I feel like it’s “look at my $30 speakers” and “what is this vintage Crosley worth?” Am I alone?

    To give you some hope. Im in my late20’s and at one point owned almost all the monster receivers. Still have loads of high end 70’s gear along with 10k records (and growing daily) along with Nakamichi tape decks, EMT, Thorens and Linn turntables. The number of people who care about this stuff will drop but there are people like myself who are genuinely obsessed with vintage hifi

      As with everything else in life, I was lucky or fortunate to have grown up in the right era. Born mid '50’s, I was there for the first wave of high end gear. I did not plan this. Tack on the fact that I was in the service, and could buy through the PX system, for a significant discount. The catalog from the PX was incredible, with page after page of 1975’s best. That this was in the midst of the rock and roll revolution was just frosting! From the middle of the Mediterranean, I ordered my dream set, of which I still have the 4 Kenwood kl555d speakers. Sweet.
