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?

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

Go on some road trips to some audio shows around the country or the world. You will be able to talk to different dealers and will probably work out some demo time in your house. Or, you can team up with some manufacturers like PS Audio that gives you weeks of in-house usage and if you don’t like a component, they will take it back
