Well, for me, I'm going for the A-S700, T-S500 and the C-S600 (??) CD changer for my new 2 channel audio system.
Yes, I'll test them out before locking myself into the deal, but for the last 25+ years, I've never been let down by Yamaha.
Again, I'm truly happy that Yamaha came through with retro styled gear vs. the ultra modern/spacey looking stuff.
I currently have tons of audio gear from the late 70s to the early 90s in various condition and to be honest, I think I bought my last piece of classic gear (Yamaha CD-1110) since the cosmetics of most of my stuff is far from great, so simply buying new gear with the "classic" looks and feel is far more practical... In my eyes, than buying used stuff off of the many auction sites.
Next spring, I'm going to start chucking items that are truly junk and have no value since I no room for all my stuff and I'm now starting to agree with the wife that I have some issues.
