Nice rig, stapimp.
I showed up to my first dorm room as a freshman with Clements 107dis and 105dis, a PSB center, and Yamaha 5.1 integrated with ho-hum sources.
By my last year of school I was in my own place, had gone back to 2-channel with the 107di's, had gone back to vinyl with an AR ES1/Linn Basik. Then my last semester I decied that a full-on high end rig was warranted, and as you can see in my virtual system, I went a little...overboard.
I hear you on our generation. I'm 23 and here I am with tubes and vinyl. Better yet, I've gotten several friends interested. Some of them have gotten some pretty good vinyl collections going and have gone to pick up TTs--I sold my AR to one of them, and another, who now designs and builds his own cables, has just sprung for a Rega TT which he plans to make a tube phono stage for. Others have grabbed used Techs and one guy turned up with a free B&O. There's hope for us young 'uns yet! I know an awful lot of 20-somethings that are perfectly happy to turn off the TV, pack a bowl, and listen to the Beatles and Zeppelin LPs they rescued from their parents' basements.
