Marantz 2225 receiver, Dual 1225 TT with Shure M95ED cartridge and JBL L-110 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?

Krell Krell I don't fondly remember, I stiil use. Pure Class A (class A all the way up to full power) is a thing of the past, even at Krell. But truth is you just can't match the sound if you're prepared to buy the watts at today's prices. I am. KMA200 References, upgraded for Krell dealer to 400w. After 35 years still the best amps ever. And KSA50. Krell's first product from the early 80s. @klh007 I note you like the KSA50s too. Did you ever hear the KMA200s? |
While stationed in Germany between 1979 and 1987, I bought the following equipment: Teac X-10R R2R, Pioneer PL-1000 TT with Pickering cartridge, Technics SL-1200 TT with Pickering cartridge, Rodec SM 200 mixer, Pioneer SPEC-4 power amp, SoundCraftsman SP-4001 Pre/EQ, dbx 224 tape noise reduction unit, dbx 3bx range expander, and Bose 901's w/ Bose EQ. I kept the R2R, but gave everything except the 901s to my son in 2019. I gave the Bose 901's and EQ to my goddaughter. In the mid-90's, I bought a McIntosh system: MC-2600 amp, MC-31v control unit, MCD7007 CD Player, MR7083 Tuner, and JBL L100 speakers. I sold the McIntosh system in 2021. I gave the JBL L100 speakers to my nephew. Both systems sounded wonderful to my ears and to everyone else who heard them at the time. Everything that I gave away is still working fine.
