My stereo cabinet. It is approx. 195 years older than any of the other equipment and it looks great in the corner. It is an angle sided Tansu cabinet meant to be placed under a stairway or sloping ceiling. The rest of the stuff is living (with me) on borrowed time.

No Albert, it's a fruit woodie, Persimmon to be exact and it's never had to take a blood presure pill in it's life/existance.

I never thought of the source material and even that (for me) has gone with time or changed format. I no longer have reel to reel tapes or 8 tracks. I don't have much vinyl left (and nothing to play it back on). We still have quite a few cassettes, much of which never made it to CD as far as I can tell, but I have considered renting some pro gear and transferring (burning) them to CD. The only things that I have ever owned more than twelve years were a pair of Mac 30's that I would gladly take back today and a Quad 303/33/FM3 set up that I was partial to, so I guess that they (the Mac's) would have survived ownership had my judgment and foresight been a little keener fifteen years ago. Wouldn't mind having my LS3/5a's back either. Only the music from some source or another seems to survive out of necessity.

Mes: Not a problem, I am a big TH's fan starting from 1976 and used to have the "Big Suit" on vidio. It was TH's and Television at the time. I also used to look a lot like Byrne when I was younger and 25 lbs lighter and was once mobbed by a crowd at the opening of one of their movies in Westood CA. It was a very scary experience.

Yes, a good tuner makes sense as well. I feel like I am losing on "Family Feud" at this point as I haven't thought of any of the logical choices on my own.
