My SET amp is out for repair and I just today, while suffering without music, remembered that I had an old Advent 300 receiver in the garage that's been boxed up for at least 25 years. Pulled it out of the box, plugged the Lamm LP2.1 in aux and attached the banana plugs with some pigtails to my Diatones and holy cow, I've been wasting a lot of money. Well not really.... but totally listenable. Totally ENJOYABLE. Beats the crap out of the AirPods I've been listening to for the last week. Maybe beats the crap out of the high power amp I had before the SET arrived.

Getting ready to try out the tuner once I find some wire to use as the antenna. There's great jazz and a college station close by.
