The Dynaco SCA-35 I built from a kit in 1966 when I was 20 years old. Traded it away when I got an early McIntosh system and have regretted it since. It was my first taste of good sound.
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?
