79 years old. Got back into 2 channel when I retired in 2003. Can only afford vintage pieces, but find that eventually they are like children requiring costly maintenance. Awaiting delivery of my first brand new piece since the early 60’s and if I like it, I will sell off my vintage / expense ridden "children". I truly enjoy many of these discussions and I look forward to those in areas of my interest, but, quite frankly, many go way beyond my understanding.
