@@stereoreviewx Like you I've been into hifi for over 4 decades. Using my ears not relying on reviews alone. Not just about absolute sound quality but what what I find enjoyable to listen to. I've owned pieces from high end manufacturers aswell as mass market ones. 70s models my fave. Onkyo & Luxman my personal favourites along with older Sansui models with regards to amplifiers & receivers. Can you review any older Onkyo & Luxman models?!

Welcome back Kelvin! ...have to say no one does vintage audio reviews like you and its such a joy to watch the vids and learn from the years of experience you have in this hobby/passion. Since you started this channel I have amassed 6x vintage amps (mix of rotel, arcam and sansui), 4xspeakers (mix of mordaunt shorts, pioneer and celestion). Now that you are back I am worried I will start collecting again and there is no more room in my place to hold more gear :-)..Thanks!

I really like your reviews, and I'm glad you're back. What I most like is the fact that most of the equipment you review is quite affordable. While it maybe fun to dream about equipment that costs more than the average new car, the reality is that most us would just get joy out of making the most from what we can afford. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from you in the future. BTW I agree with your comments on the NAD equipment. I have a NAD 3020 connected to a set of bookshelves that I designed and built , and a NAD 1020a coupled to a Perreaux PMF 2150B connected up to Bose 901s series 3 (yes I know that they are not hifi, but they are a conversation starter). I have recapped both the NADs and love the sound they produce. Hopefully they'll keep going for many more years. A big hello from Australia.

I am sooo glad to see you! Your videos are terrific. You express a lot of the feelings I do about the hobby (especially that last one abut streaming! Spot on!!) . I missed you and your take on things. I have have an old NAD tuner that I bought new in 1989! There were used things from the 70's that could be better (Sansui, Marantz ..??) But NADs of that era, for that price new in the late 80's early 90's, were one of the best going. Welcome back!!

I still remember hearing the NAD 3020 and A&R A60 at Grahams Hifi in London in 1979. I was coming from a Rotel RA 311 (if I remember right). The NAD and A60 were both a big revelation to me, and I bought the A60, but loved the 3020 almost as much: they both brought real life to the music.

Your enthusiasm for great sound puts me in the perfect mindset (mood) to really enjoy the sound of my system. We have to analyze to notice the differences between different gear (sound), but we can't get so caught up in the analysis where we forget about the music. You are very good at finding the happy medium and I really appreciate your example my friend.

That NAD was the base line as an introduction to hifi, at least according to hifi answers, my bible of the 1980s. I recall having that and a tuner. The tuner was fantastic. I recall the much vaunted affordable system being the Creek 4040 (I think), the rega planar 3and I can’t recall the entry speakers, sadly. However, I was foolish to buy as I already had an old quad 22/202 and assumed I was moving upwards…
