Laundrew,PJG 66 summed it up perfectly,and your question is great also! I could name all the most exspensive stuff from Stereophile or Absolute Sound,or whats more fun as you get older,the stuff you can learn to fix up from yester year like a Scott tuner...so her's my faves.....1.The white radio on Gilligans Island....2.The radio in the movie with Robert Denero and Cuba Gooding called (Men of Honor),if you saw the movie,it was a scrapped together battery powered something or other,but it played music and used tubes.3.A Heathkit AA-32 integrated amp that I remember my father had built,he passed away long ago,but I found one on e-bay and can't part with it even though the specs are not that good...tubes,Mullard,1964.As JPG 66 implied,I seem to be chasing equipment,and not taking time to listen to the music...remember,there's no luggage rack on a hearse,and even Billy Joel said something in one of his songs about a cheap pair of speakers being more fun than the latter.....Mark Korda(mark.korda@myfairpoint.net)
