For Old Timers who experienced the "Golden Age" of Audio of the 60s and 70s.


Having traversed the long span of time and have known the love of Scott, Fisher Dynaco and McIntosh I have now settled into my "sweet spot" between a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls and Vintage Marantz 7 Preamp, DynacoST70 Amp,  Marantz 125 Tuner ,DUAL 1229 Changer and finally achieved "Musical Nirvana". How Sweet it Is!! Robinhood1940.

Please share your experiences!

Dynaco electronics were sold as  DIY kits that could also be purchased pre-assembled.  I know that the sound of the Dynaco PAT-4 solid-state pre-amp couldn't touch the sound of a Mac C-26 or C-28.  The stereo 400 SS amp did much better against the Mac power amps.  I'm not saying they didn't exist, but I never heard any speakers in the 70's that compare with speakers of the last 25 years.  The Mac ML speakers, while great for reproducing loud rock music, lacked a lot when it came to presenting a convincing acoustic/classical sound. 
One thing is for sure:  even given the blinding number of options it's easier to research equipment now than ever before.  The harder part is the live audition.
