Hi @noromance ,
Thank you for the good words.
I had a number of components that left good memories and even nostalgia: Croft preamp, McIntosh MC30 power amplifier, Spendor 2/3 speakers, Lenco 78 turntable.
There were other components that I was glad to get rid of like - Plinius 8200 amp or Dynaudio Audience 60 speakers, Nottingham Spacedeck turntable.
