Your experience in "in their day" brands/components that you remember foundly?

Technically, the ADC brand did not get any traction until maybe 1977. They got out of alignment with some regularity, but the $50.00 spiff per unit was awesome for a brief time- I sold 50 units that month, which was a lot of dough in 1977.

Had the classic Dynaco trio, FM3T/PAS3/ST70 with an AR-XA, but really miss the JBL-SA600 I purchased in 1971 to replace the tube gear. Both were driving JBL L77s.

Large Advents, like so many here.

Fisher KX-200 Tube integrated amp 

Boston Acoustics A400s (still have ‘em)

Systemdek IIX with a Monster Cable Alpha 1 MC cartridge (still have ‘em)

PS Audio PSIV pre and Model Two C Plus power amp (both current in my bedroom system)

Pioneer CTF9191 and TX9500 (still have ‘em)

Thats the stuff that stands out.  Lots of other stuff I don’t really miss. 

I always wanted a sweet pair of Apogee Slant 8 loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!
