Noromance,

It is not how old your components are that is impressive, it is how good they are.  

My speaker cables are the Tara Lab RSC Reference 2000 Gen 2 from about 2000, my VPI Scoutmaster is approximately 20 years old.

There was a long period of stability from the late '90s until about 2014 apart from replacing the digital system with an Esoteric X-03SE in 2008 - CAT SL pre/phono, VAC 70/70 and Audio Physic Virgos but after I retired and moved to my home in VT I have been changing stuff.

 

This is fun to read.  I didn't keep stuff.  We usually blew them up or traded for something else.  I took some breaks as well.  None of my stuff was ever tubes but I had lots of solid state amps.  Leach, Carver 1.0T, Sony Vfet, Quatre, Ampzilla, SAE, Electrocompient.  All sounded good to me.but i winder what they would sound like against the Pass.  Probably harsh?  Many of those amps were quite unreliable.  They just couldn't keep up with us rock and rollers.
