You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".

I think many of us have had similar experiences growing up.  And not being a snob or anything, but my parents drove automobiles that went from point A to point B without any pretense of "fun to drive".  Somehow I got into racing Formula Fords and started driving some superb sports cars.  In high school I did the old going in a straight line ala. drag racing.  In later years I fell in love with the idea of winning races in corners, like at Road America and others.  Since speeding can get you a ticket, most of us can enjoy driving by threshold and trail braking and learning about the proper apex of a corner...just a thrill. 

Actually, I can't really say there is anything I used to own that I yearn to own once again. 

@whatjd  At 65 years old, I think I just went thru my second childhood. Just purchased a used mint condition  2018 Kawasaki Z900 Retro Sport motorcycle. I think my stereo is a much safer hobby.:-)

@bdp24 yes, one of my most enduring memories is early winter 1965 a truck showing up and unloading big boxes into our almost 20’x40’ ancient house living room - like no furniture besides the B-305 in cherry and built in cabinet around fireplace to house records and the stereo: 1961 MC-240, 1965 MX-110Z, Dual 1019 and a Shure. My mom was a music school grad and could play piano and accordion and Dad could play trumpet. I don’t think they bought a TV until 1970...

I know exactly when the Hook was set.. Peter and the Wolf....

I still have the MC gear in my Seattle vintage system along w furniture from them... another reason for your music visit :-)

@o_holter i have a pair of A-25 with the real wood cabinets that I listen to with a NAD 3020 in the garage..... fun
