Hi Guys! Fancy meeting you all in a place like this!
OK here it is:
1950 -1960 --- GE mono system (my Dad's) with a bit of mono Heathkit thrown in in the later years
1960 - 1968 --- Heathkit Rek-o-kut University Coaxial 12"
1968 - 1972(college years)--- Panasonic tube receiver Dual TTand Misc crap speakers, then Dynaco SS intergrated kit S something-80 Hard sounding.
1972 - 1978 --- Nothing! I was a bum!
1978 - 1987 --- Technics, EPI 100's, Some crappy TT (couldn't stand listening to this!)
1987-1989 --- Nothing again! (divorce)
1990- 1997-- NAD, Adcom, HArmon Kardon CD Vandersteen 2Ci
1998-2000 --Adcom H/K CD EAD DAC, Mccormack preamp, Vandersteens and back to tubes finally: Atma-Sphere M-60MkII's!
2000 to Present: Sold the Atma's since the 2Ci's werent a good match and I couldn't take the heat! Bought Bottlehead Paramours and Foreplay, Built Wayne's Theater 4 Pi's and haven't looked back (till now). Now I wish I had the Atma spheres to try with the Pis but oh well! Oh and I recently resurrected my Dad's old Heathkit AA-111 and really enjoy it with the Pis' though the Paramours have more soul!
There you have my audio life in a nutshell! FWIW.
