I could never afford any HiFi gear until I became a young adult and went into the army. There I purchased my first CD player Sony CDP-101, SAE P101 preamp, SAE 501 amp, DBX noise reduction and equalizer, Akai Reeel to Reel, JBL L100 and Bose 901 speakers
Your experience in "in their day" brands/components that you remember foundly?
I love music and have enjoyed "high-end" audio for several decades.
With this being said, I am interested in hearing what may be your
"golden oldies" that you have owned? For me there are many that
were part of my beginnig. The original large Advents and a Yamaha
CA-1000 started my "better gear" travels...that lead to Dahlquists, Magnepans,
and seperated from Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, early Classe and
many others. What were your "roots" that helped your journey?
