The first system you had that was "high end/audiophile", by you standards

I did have some others before, but the first system that hooked me on this passion/hobby and would still be pretty good today was:

Stacked Large Walnut Advents, with the top ones upside down so the tweeters were close together,
Yamaha CA-1000 integrated (usually run in the class A mode)
Yamaha top end direct drive turntable (YP-800?) with ADC XLM II cartridge 
Yamaha CT-7000 tuner
Early Monster interconnects and speaker cables 
Advent cassette deck
Teac reel to reel with 10" reels (model ?)

The first thing(s) that were replaced was the Large Advents that gave way to a pair of 
Dahlquist DQ-10.

From that system I have gone on to several others that I have enjoyed, but I do remember that first one.

Well here is real vintage 1963.Acoustech pre-amp.Power-amp? Maybe a Lafayette Radio model, but I can’t remember..
Goodman speakersVoice of Music changer.
1967: Changed the pre and power amps for McIntosh C-26 and MC-2505. Actually got a trade-in for this purchase.Kept the 15" Goodman woofer and installed Bozak mid, tweeter, and crossover in a custom speaker cabinet. My changer was a Benjamin Miracord with a Sure V15 diamond needle.I also added a McIntosh MR-71 tuner.I remember the sound quality increased megafold.The McIntosh equipment is still going strong.
