(shortly, CA 650A to be usurped by Rega Brio-R, my last amp upgrade for several years I hope. The Brio-R will also usurp my long-standing Cambridge 540P phono stage as the one in the Rega amp is better.)

Mission 751

Mordaunt-Short Avant MS902i

Wish I could make sense of all this data ... but looks like too much hard work. Only 3 turntables made it "IN" this year compared to lots of streamery and networky things. Didn't notice too much of trend towards downsizing or box count reduction ... maybe the opposite :?

lots of boxes out of use but not "out"

boxes out of use include a CDP. a DVD/DVDA/SACD player, a DVD HDD recorder thingy.
