I didn't have stereo gear in the 60'S.Just a Panasonic clock radio.To busy chasing the ladies and enjoying the tunes on my AM radio in my 1963 Ford Falcon.I did get some Radio Shack gear in the 70's..as a matter of fact I still have the STA 225 Shack Receiver in the Garage..AaHHHH the 60's what a great time to be young...Almost made it to Woodstock in 1969..I didn't want to leave the Falcon parked on the NY Thruway and walk the rest of the way,so headed back to Jersey.
What did you own in the 60's?
Here is one for the more mature folks here.
My first component system was a XAM 20 watt receiver, a Garrard 40B turntable with a 1 cent Grado cartridge, & a pair of XAM speakers with single 8" "full range" speakers. It was the house brand of EJ Korvette, a discount department store on Long Island. I probably would have done better if I could have talked my dad into going to Lafayette, but it was a longer trip.
I replaced the Garrard with a $91 AR XA in 1969. It was obvious that turntables sounded different, even to a 16 year old! I don't recall reading that in Stereo Review!
