IIRC, the sticker on the base says "1979". In today's world of disposable computing, I find the idea of running a 30-year old piece of equipment very appealing. It might not be great by today's budget amp standards, but it should still kick the ass of anything available from Best Buy. :-) So here's a question: if I wanted to buy something today that would perform sufficiently better to be worth the upgrade (for whatever definition of "better" you like) what sort of cost are we talking? Is a modern $500 amp significantly better than the 3020? Or is my sound quality limited more by my 762i speakers? -- joatca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joatca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
