@annalog I still have a CC2 it was one of the first low TIM amps and a real sweetheart. I use it to run the Totems in our sun room….

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.

On the subject of HQD, working at a store I was able to cobble together a poor mans version… stacked ESL in wood frames, Decca Ribbons, 10” Infinity/ Watkins woofers in a tapered quasi transmission line, and running it all 3 x CJ MV-45A1… CJ Premier 3, SOTA Sapphire, Sumiko FT3, Audioquest AQ404… Monster Cable… Hauled it all to parents house, Dad felt his Bozaks superior….damm kids….. |
Denon DP790, Denon Arm, Audioquest AQ-404, Hegeman HAPI 2 preamp, Modified Hafler DH-100 i built myself with inputs from Sensible Sound ( remember that rag ? authors / tweaks… KEF kit 104 ab in massively braced cabinets my pattern maker Dad and i constructed ( cabinet within a cabinet ), Fulton speaker wire, with IC Sumiko used to backdoor to usa from Japan… fun. |
@mesch IF you were in Columbus, Ohio i maybe sold you that excellent sounding system….ha. The MMT with modifications, rewire, is still competitive today…. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3803#&gid=1&pid=18 |
