Here's another vote to go out and find an original and enjoy the real thing; they're out there, often in very nice condition. In the office for the past five years I've been listening to an SX1980 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars with a Velodyne SPL sub. You like your Led Zep analog-sweet and LOUD, just like you remember it: this is the horse's mouth. And, as folks have correctly noted, these late 1970s Pioneers (and others of the era) are serious eye candy that beats the look and build of much of today's stuff. No, obviously it is not going to do what your high end system does, but that's not what this is about.
