Quad 57 ESLs!
There is a drive and impact with dynamic speakers but I will never forget the 57’s sound!

No! Newer gear is SO much better. Although it costs WAY more than my old gear.

I miss tape now and then.  Had a Teac reel to reel (X-7R) and an A-450, top loader cassette deck.  The rituals of threading the reels/setting the levels, etc., were “appealing” in retrospect...quaint.  They sounded good, no denying it, particularly the reel to reel.
Would I trade my Node 2i and Tidal to have it all back?

...naaaaah.

My Altec Lansing model 19s. The first song I heard on these was Black cow by Steely Dan. Totally hooked on them after that. I’m curious about how they would hold up to my current system.
