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?

Traded it away when I got an early McIntosh system and have regretted it since. It was my first taste of good sound.

I was a student in the Boston area and first saw the XA at the AR showroom. I got the cartridge from Tech HiFI.
