I know as I've got older my tastes in music have changed and my hearing is not as good as 20 years ago, because of this what I now look for in my system is very different to what it was 20 years ago.

However, my experience has grown over the years and I have a much better appreciation of what makes a good piece of Hi-Fi and how components work and how they work together in synergy...

In fact I can recreate my system except for the turntable from 20 years ago and not only does it sound very different as you would expect but it also sounds inferior...that's not because I now look for a different presentation, its because the component parts don't work together that well and in isolation...introduced into my current system, they still sound inferior....
