Had good speakers in the 60's...

Jensen TF-3A but nothing with enough power to drive them.

Decent TT for the time, Gerard Lab 80, and an Akai M8 with about 8 watts of power from a SE EL84 tube output. Not enough the make the Jensens sing.

Would record an album on tape and play it back using the M8 as the power amp.

All the above destroyed in shipment on return to the states in 1967.

Replaced it with crap from Pacific Stereo.

Downhill from there for better part of four decades.
