Speaking of age of some of our stereo equipment....as I had commented sometime in the past: My sub box is part of an old HTIB;..... TWO boxes, actually, that I remember as being the very first sounds I'd ever heard from a movie!
OK...16mm HTIB  An Actual home theater!!
So when I listen to movies today, I'm listening to a driver installed in the very same cabinet that I've been listening to since right after the War.

I think it's safe to say you've gotten your moneys worth out of that thing! Great story F107.

The usual solution is to set up a "classic" system in the opposite end of your home, somewhere you can listen to LPs and... wait, you're not old enough for LPs.
Geez, I have albums older than most of you guys and I'm only at the midrange of the age distribution 
M60ti, VP180, QS8, M2ti, EP500, PC-Plus 20-39
M5HP, M40ti, Sierra-1
LFR1100 active, ADA1500-4 and -8

My oldest "album" is a true "Album"
A collection of 78s in their own folders in a book form like a photo album, with a "contents" page in front to be filled in by the collector.
It's cool

i've got a few "albums" but they're all of the Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby type, you know the "turn the page when Tinker Bell chimes like this." and i had a suh-weet Fisher-Price turntable to spin 'em on too! 
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

That's a good idea. I also have a Classic Pioneer SX-1250 and an AR-XA turntable. I doubt I would use it much but I could find a corner to put it in for nostalgia sake.

I have a collection of vinyl albums from the 70s. I think most of them are warped, though. I don't know why I'm keeping them. I don't think I've ever seen a 78 with a warpage problem. A guy I work with has a garage full of 78s he's been collecting, along with other antique and not so antique stuff. His goal is to open an antique shop.

In reply to:
Four years under 20.
With M22tis and a STF-2, I think I've got most of you beat as far as the age to hifi ratio goes.
Grasshopper, I am 45, and have 4 full theater areas and one gaming area. My 14 year old's gaming area has $2K worth of gear. You don't EVEN want a list of the gear in the four theaters.
Behave yourself ..
