I hear ya on the stereo systems. When our baby came along 10 years ago, I eventually moved my stuff down to the newly built "studio" (10' x 10' room in the basement). I still have a functional turntable, Carver preamp, Dynaco Stereo 70 tube power amp (2 EL34 per side), a Pioneer graphic EQ, cassette deck and Advent reissue speakers. Sounds glorious! The depth and dynamics of a vinyl LP played through it is unmatched.
