Hi, Well said. From personal experience some of the best sounding commercial gear I have is from the 70s. Back when Marantz, Hafler and others knew what they were doing. I'll put my current designs up against anything in a big box store. Modesty (what my spouse says I have a shortage of ) won't permit me to say how bad their stuff will be in comparison. Granted you can't get a system with my designs for the $200 they charge for one. Media as you noted is also rather iffy too. A positive change may be on the horizon with HD digital cloud music. Some stuff is excellent and the technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. I can see getting a digital box as a source input to my system. Tubes will make up the rest though.
