Well, I'll semi- quibble with that. About a year ago my 1974-vintage Pioneer receiver died. I replaced it with a Yamaha RS-500. Wow, what a difference! It inspired me to take apart, clean, and rebuild my 1974 Pioneer PL-12D turntable; and they sound wonderful through my EPI 100 (also 1974; rebuilt woofers in 1990) speakers.

That seems to be generally true of audio things these days - I think they expect people to be permanently wearing headphones, or in the case of TVs to be plugged into some sort of home cinema set up with superoctomegatronic-3D-HDQ- surround-sound Dolby bollocks. Or maybe it's just that I'm a deaf git.
