I have a 20 year of 'Fisher' (not Fisher Price ) portable system in the spare bedroom I bought when I earnt £6k a year, and the Pioneer mini system in the bedroom that I bought 13 years ago and still going strong!
I have a crap stereo, a Kenwood UD-952 mini system which I bought on credit with my first job. I earned £9K pa the stereo cost £1500.
In my defense I do have a lot of music though.
I really should buy a decent stereo at some point...
I have no defense

Sometimes the older system sounds better than the newer ones.
Its taken my dad ages to upgrade to his new system:
Musical Fidelity pre amp
Musical Fidelity power amp
Musical Fidelity CD Player
Sometype of exotic speaker.
But then again he did start off with:
Luxman Amp
Bose 901 speakers
First sony CD Player when it hit the market << sounded crap
Reel to Reel
Yamaha wedge shaped cassette deck
The only reason he upgraded was the old stuff started to die and it was cheaper to upgrade then fix the existing stuff.
You haven't heard anything until you have heard $30K ceramic speakers.
What is the rega stuff like I was thinking of getting the planet and biro? How much did they cost (if don't mind?
I have Budget student system. Budget sony cd, old nice Goodman speakers, non discript receiver/amp which i hate and a leak throughline 3 mono receiver, which is nice but need to get renovated. DOes anyone know anywhere were I can get it serviced?
