WTF are you prattling on about now? I love my Pilot 654 and my Scott
222C. They're far better than anything those companies are currently
producing, as are my Dynaco A-25s.

I grew up listening through my father's 222C.
Endless repititions of the Pet Sounds album,
Four Tops "Reach Out" and the Byrds
"Younger than Yesterday"
Having such a sweet amp helped
instill the joy of music.

My current bedroom unit is a 299D

What are you running it through? And what are you running through it?

I use an old Denon DCD-615 that I picked up for $20. The A-25s sound
good too. I paid $10 for them. The 222c was $60. I also have an old
Thorens TT that was $30. So for less than the cost of an "all-in-one"
system I have a fun bedroom system.

((In lieu of US 7189s, which are going for $30-40 each on eBay, I run
6P14P-ER from old Soviet military stock in the 222c. I got them for $5/
each. They're rated for 10,000 hours just like the old Mullard 10M
series. They have higher ratings than the 7189. And they sound great
even though they were made by Slavs. Shhhh!))
