Hi. The longest and still in use running the PC audio and a turntable right now just above the monitor is a Marantz 1060 Console amp. I bought it in 1969. So 57 years.

Wow! It is lovely that the Marantz 1060 has been with you for 57 years. That's quite a long time, and it shows that the gear is good. My Boss Katana 100 has been nice, too, and that's what I've been using for a while now.

How does Marantz sound with your turntable and PC after all that time? Do you have any tips on keeping old amps being active for this long?

Thinking about the Vitus SS-103, is it worth the price?
