Just a thought about bringing it back
You know I was looking at some silver era gear yesterday, coveting a Luxman tube preamp and thought "why do I have to shop used for this look and sound?"
In the beginning of the year the music retail industry reported that all sales were down except for vinyl was.........up %200. What the!?
So I ask you this:
Is it time for a company like Pioneer (Elite), TEAC (Reference), DENON, ROTEL, NAD, and (please) Luxman to make a an affordable mid-fi simple two channed receiver with a kick ass phono stage? Most of my friends listen to vinyl, cds, and mp3's, but have no interest in 5.1. Do you think they are part of growing demographic? I for one, do not use my 5.1 at all anymore.
If so, how would you design it? Keep in mind affordability.

Throw into the pot!!!!!!! Come on, it could be fun!! Show some pics of parts and pics of styles old systems you would love to incorporate. Lets frankenstein a great piece of gear.
I'll bring mine shortly. Cheers !!!!!
