The op required a sign in. Mario's link worked.

My stereo, which is in my studio, is a JVC component system that I have had since I was in my 20s. Close to 50 years old. I upgraded my speakers to cerwin vega and replaced the cones with carvin guitar speakers when the CV cones deteriorated and fell apart. Literally. It sounds good and that's all I ask from it. I do need to clean the switches and selectors since they are a bit scratchy.

Audiophile..... Unless you have a custom treated room, why bother? Anything you gain from the equipment is lost in the room resonance.

BTW.... If anyone listens to the taxi TV shows that air on Mondays.... The one last night was particularly interesting because they were discussing this very topic about headphones, earbuds, room resonance, and how we hear our environment and the music we make. The folks were obviously hawking their very expensive ear buds but the storyline and discussion was very interesting.

If you want to watch it and make up your own mind.... here's the YouTube link
