I've been building a system since college days with some interesting pieces (excluding the usual Pioneer SA and SX series stuff I had a Rabco ST-4 and Beogram 1800 (Type 524X) Turntables and AR-8 Speakers. Then marriage and a couple of kids took me out of the hobby scraping by and only affording Akai Receiver and Cassette equipment. Thought I was stepping up when I got my Bose 401's. Flash forward to 1999 and got into my first upgrades in 15 years. Complete set of NAD Silver Series, B+W N-804's, MMF 5.1 Turntable and I was content until this year when I upgraded my 10 year old electonics. I thank my good friend for keeping me engaged n this hobby of ours. Happy Listening!
