Hi guys, this is certainly fun.
Being a tightwad all my life I started with an used JBL integrated 60wpc amp, then traded it up for a new DYNACO integrated 40wpc, after selling it, came a new NAD integrated 20wpc that might be sold soon. Just now realized have been sliding down the wattage stairs. Next logical step would have been going 5wpc SET triode integrated gear... But looking at my wife's expression after just mentioning it convinced me that to preserve my neck in one single piece should aim to something else. Speaking of WAF (wife acceptance factor)...
Current rig is a new Adcom stereo pre-amp (passive mode) paired with an pre-owned Musical Fidelity 120wpc dual mono power amp. This changes took place during a time span of over 35 years...
Happy listening to you all !!
