My introduction to high-end audio in the late '60's. A friend asked me to come over & check out the system his dad bought. Citation I & II, Citation ? tube tuner, Tandberg tube reel-to reel, Marantz zero tracking turntable, Marantz ? speakers; about the same size as Cornwalls. This was quite a system for a couple of 14 year olds.
1960s Amps and Preamps
What was considered the top hifi setup in the early to mid
1960s?? the top speaker??
My Dad's system was a Garrard turntable (cartridge?), some
model McIntosh preamp and amp with JBL Paragons. Would
that be considered high end in its day?? I have fond memories of big bands, Dave Brubeck, and Mancini's Peter
Gunn on that system.
