Salvation advents modified with much help from inmates, particularly Jerry. Ebay Dual CS 5000 $265. First receiver $10 Technics SA 200 and I was very pleased with the sound. I really enjoyed redoing the Advents as Jerry has stated authorship has its rewards.Enjoying the music and getting to a place where the illusion of "live" to me is a goal. However, I can not nor would I want to spend $5000 on a system. My ears tell me the Advents are truly wonderful. Although different vinyl has different results. Some studio mixes have the air of the artist being in the room while some live lps disappoint. Side one of ELP Live comes to mind. Mostly because my memory of the live performance is to readily available. They created an almost permeable atmosphere in concert and there is no way that can be reproduced with two speakers in a room, no matter how large the room is.
Still I'm trying to get a Marantz 2330B up and running. My job gets in the way at times and its been that way the past couple of weeks. Although the Technics is very modest I'm not sure how much the Marantz will outperform it.
Unfortunately, hmmm...maybe fortunately, my ears are not that good and getting older all the time. So, I'm not sure how much money would benefit me in upgrading components. And, I like the idea of putting something together that sounds awesome that cost very very little.
