First thing I bought 31 yrs ago when I got my first decent pay, straight after our wedding, from Trevor Lees in Kew, (and we had nothing, zilch) was a good stereo system, PROTON/REGA. My annoyed wife thought I had very poor priorities, but I reassured her that if I could not play decent music on a decent system, we indeed had nothing.
I still use it to this day.
Any time Rabbi you want to play your vinyls if you're heading up to the Dandenongs...
31 years, only the speakers need rewiring, but a great system.
