A bucket list item of mine is to attend the Isle of ManTT. Every year this time of year I am just amazed at these guys and I try and watch the highlights. Not much in sports actually makes my jaw drop anymore, it’s more an appreciation of talent, but what these guys do in concentration and guts does.

Love it. I had a pair of Polks and a Sony receiver back in the day.

Two years ago I put together a vintage system for less than $300 that sounds better than anything I've heard in years.

Superscope 1240 Receiver $75 on FB (Superscope was owned by Marantz & their "borgen budget line". All Marantz transistors & caps are installed from the factory)
Ohm C2 Speakers with upgraded tweeters $150 on FB
Yamaha P-850 Turntable $40 on FB.

I use a crappy old Philips DVD player to listen to CDs & it still sounds phenomenal.

Amp in the receiver is at the limit for the size of my living room & at some point I plan to upgrade to a Marantz 1090 integrated amp. I don't need a tuner. People are amazed at the sound quality however & it suits my needs for the moment. I'm going to sell it all when I move in a few months which sucks, but I'll probably double my money.

If you had 4 or 5 million dollars what would you do differently?

Not much. I would probably do my home renovation sooner and eat sushi 1-2 times per week

Thank you. I appreciate your answer. Everyone is different so I'm curious to hear lots of posters thoughts on the matter.
