| What did your system look like 30 years ago? How many of us still has any of the gear we had 30 years ago?I still have my zerostat, but that’s about it.

| Mistakes I’ve made After a 41 year loan, I hope you paid for dinner! | |
| How old is your cartridge? Good point Boothryod! At some point, either late 80’s or early 90’s, I had a cartridge when part of the Diamond split off. And it was relatively new too- | |

| 2021 audio system wish list @pokey77 before going the power conditioner route, if you’ve not done so already, a dedicated power line to your listening area is something I strongly suggest. You might find that is all you really need, and even if not, it’s still quite a good s... | |
