Got mine in 1973 after graduation from High School. Where I lived at, every one had high power systems. Mine consisted of Kenwood Kt-1035 with Stanton 681EEE, Kenwood KA-9100 (mega power), Kenwood KT-7500 tuner, Akia X-1810 reel to reel with JBL L-100. Not many changes since then. Now changed TT to Poineer PL-518 (2 of them) with the 681EEE, retired reel to reel and bought another one from studio I worked at, TEAC TA-7300, rare one there, and picked up a Pioneer CTF-6060, and added a pr of 4311B control monitors with the L-100's. Still have this system today. Sounds as good as the first time I listened to it. For christmas I received the Tascam CD RW5000 for turning my albums into CD's for audio system in my truck. I found its like Timex, takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!!!!
