Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement

Hello All

I have just retired and emerged from the mud of work that encompasses everything and acts light a blackhole for hobbies and enjoyment. Now that I am seeing some light I want to upgrade my 70's something stereo to something I can really enjoy. I read in a post from long ago about a preamplifier called a George Lightspeed. It was Australian, quality sound according to the posts and cheap. Is this something I want to consider or must I look at products in the thousands or 10's of?

re the OP:

It’s always good to remember, or discover, that the etymology of the word ’work’ is rooted in descriptives for slavery.

Nice yet still inexpensive preaplifiers are
easy to find
 If you use the price tab and click on it. Peamps starting from $200 or so..
Lots of decent ones on AudiogoN.

As a suggestion.. I would say start with what sort of speakers you want? Rather than the preamp.
And Do you live in Australia? If not, I suggest buying products made where you live. Local is usually a better deal than an import
