Music What Song/Album Are You Listening To? (2 Viewers)

Don't overlook some of the more modern stuff from the 90s and early 2000s. People tend to just give it away because it's not cutting-edge, or it doesn't have a polished aluminum faceplate - but I've got a B&K pre/pro setup that cost around $2000 retail in 2002. It sounds as good as anything vintage I've heard and cost me like $300 used last year.

I've got a closet full of Yamaha stuff in various states of disrepair, if you're the fix-it type. I've also got a Technics integrated amp that works great but the wood veneer on the cabinet is in bad shape. Send me a PM if you hit a dead end on what you're looking for.

My current 2-channel rig is all early 1990s Yamaha. They overbuilt their stuff back then when other manufacturers were cheaping out. The amp is an MX-830 - 200 watts per channel and the transformer alone weighs almost 30 pounds. It's not particularly cool looking but it sounds awesome, plus they had remote controls by then.
Got the Marantz SR 2000 and a set or ELAC Debut B-6 speakers. Turntable works great so we’re buyimg up used albums. First album I played was Dire Straits’ Making Movies. It sounded as good now as it did 38 years ago ?
 
I’ve finally been digging into Emerson, Lake, and Palmer’s catalog for the first time in my life. I bought the reissues of ELP, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition, Trilogy, and Brain Salad Surgery last year, but they had been sitting unopened. I don’t know how I lived without this music. I think the debut just edges out Brain Salad Surgery, at this point. Still need to listen through Tarkus and Trilogy.

One thing I love about technology is all of the great music access.
