Nostalgia is most often a pleasant experience or in some circumstances, a double edged sword. Today, Lady Laundrew and I started our room renovations in earnest, taking drywall down here and there plus cleaning out my listening room's walk in closet. Buried deep in one corner of my closet was the forgotten components that predated my Bryston/JBL/ Esoteric system. Later on in the afternoon I decided to hook it all up again and enjoy listing to some music from my former Sony/Marantz(CD)/KEF system. With anticipation, a CD was loaded into the Marantz and the "play" button was pressed...

Yuck! Within 30 seconds or so, the CD was transferred over to the Esoteric and the Sony/Marantz/KEF system was disconnected and replaced by my vintage DX160 communications receiver- now this is nostalgic.
