@edcyn - I heard the SL600’s in Chicago. It was the first system I heard with a sub. At the time out of my price range but will never forget listening to them. They were unbelievable. Today I own Joseph Audio Perspectives and believe they are my end game speakers. |
@yeti42: Interesting nomination of the Townshend Rock table (a cult component if there ever was one). I got mine in ’91 from a U.S. dealer, paid $650. I use a Zeta arm on mine, a favorite combo with Rock aficionados. And a London (post-Decca) pickup, another excellent mate for the Rock. All made in England.
Other nominees: - AR XA turntable. Bought mine in 1969 for 78 bucks! - Fisher X-100-A integrated tube amp, bought used in ’69. - Dynaco PAS-3 pre-amp and ST-70 power amp. - Decca Blue pickup, $140 in 1972. - Magneplanar Tympani T-I loudspeakers. $995/pr in 1972. - VPI HW-19, used from Brooks Berdan in the late-80’s. - Well Tempered Labs Tonearm. - Eminent Technology LFT-8b. - Rythmik subwoofers. - Music Reference RM-9 Mk.2, RM-10 Mk.2, and RM-200 Mk.2, all used. - Vicoustic Multifuser DC3. - ASC Tube Traps (14 of them): 9", 11", 16", all $10/ea. used! (the seller didn’t know what they were. He found them in a house he bought). - Used LP’s. ;-) |
