Audio equipment of the 60's, 70's & early 80's has become my passion/hobby. I believe these pieces are like the vintage cars of the 60's & 70's, works of art that need to be preserved for anybody who's interested, so they can use and admire it. In no way am I putting down the new gear. It's just now I can afford to have equipment that was way too much and not as important as trying to stay above water back when I was a lot younger.
