Please only count the components that you have hooked up and use on a fairly regular basis (about once a month, sometimes more, sometimes less).

Please don't count wires or cables or power conditioners or phono cartridges, etc.

Round to the nearest choice.

    No. One pair is one component.

    I would prefer not. Vintage tubes could be another poll for someone to do.

    Rig 1 = AR turntable, Carver C-1 pre, Carver SDA/490t CD, Carver Silver 9t monoblocks and Carver ALS Platinum speakers, all 20-25 years old.

    Rig 2 = Carver C-1 pre, Carver TX-11a tuner, (2) Carver M-500t amps, pair Carver AL-III speakers all over 20 years old and an Oppo 970 SACD/CD/DVD player 2 years old. This rig is used for my home theatre rig and will eventually have a Sunfire TGP so I can hook up my LSi9's as a rear channel.

    In the main hifi in the living room, everything but the cables, CD, DAC, and tt are vintage. Some of it is as old as I am (and I am pushing 50)...

    Good luck; he generally doesn't answer questions, he only asks them. I haven't read through the thread (for various reasons), but I doubt if he even answered his own poll.
