First hi-fi system, 1973: Marantz 2270, Philips GA-212 with Stanton 681-EE, a pair of Altec 12" speakers (can't remember the model). After that, in 1979, Accuphase T-100, C-200, P-300 (two of these power amps) with Infinity RS-2.5 and matching Infinity active crossover, Micro Seiki DDX-1000 with Micro Seiki MA-500 tonearm, Luxman SUT and Ortofon MC-200. I am still sad that I gave up my Accuphase components to my nephew, who never paid me the agreed upon price and payment plan. My system today is by far the most resolving, but that Accuphase was really something special to me.
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?
