I also have the sickness too but many of you are saying vintage doesn't have the sound of todays amps.... I have several Pioneer SX models from the 950 up and they all sound wonderful. You might try one of them sometimes... the 1250 especially sounds good. Oh, you do have to use more up to date speakers though.
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
Well this question is for fun but also kinda serious too.
Have you felt the urger to buy a vintage piece of audio gear when you really didn’t need it? Have you felt that this is an addiction and how can it be stopped?
I have Marantz 2235 receiver in my office, a Sansui 1000x in my bedroom, a Realistic STA-52b in my spare bedroom and Yamaha RX-V995 in my wifes sewing room and a Yamaha RX-V690 in the garage with various vintage speakers connected to all of them. I already have two complete audio systems in my audio room.
When does the madness stop? My wife tells me I have an audio problem!?!
