Here's a topic for the day. What is your favorite piece of audio equipment you have owned and /or what was the first system you had?
Follow Ups:
Philips turntable,Infinity speakers,Sony STR 7065 receiver
I guess my favourite piece right now is my Klyne SK-5a. The first really decent preamp I've owned in more than twenty years (OK some of those years I wasn't trying). Dang it's hard to find a good preamp!
The first piece of gear I owned and loved was the integrated amp kit I got (from my Mum) and built for my sixteenth birthday, a Dyna SCA-35.
The first piece of audio gear was a 12 watt/ch Realistic receiver bought new summer of 1973 (I was 14...yikes, a long time ago). This was sold to my friend's brother. My dad's system was a 22watt/ch Nikko receiver driving the "Smaller Advents". TT was a dual. I still have dad's Nikko and I'll probably never part with it.
Favorite gear is my 1976 Allison 1's for all around listening (with my Parasound HCA1000) and my Innersound Eros 1 panels (with separate TL's) for the "critical ear times" (don't move your head or you'll miss something)run with KTA modded Dyna Mk-3's.

My first "audio" system was a plastic turntable portable. I also had a battery operated FM/AM/TV radio and one of those portable cassette recorders. I used to make cassette tapes of my favorite songs, recording through a microphone from the plastic speakers or the radio speaker.I have very fond memories of my college system. A NAD 7020 (and/or a 3020 pre) with a NAD 4020 amp, Polk monitor 10B speakers, HK T20 Turntable with a Grado signature 8 cartridge and a Luxman T02 tuner.
The only component that I currently don't own that I think is a true good audio component is the Exposure XV integrated amp. I think every component in either of my two main system are really great audio components. The Epos and NAD in my 3rd system are on par with my college stuff - pretty decent but not great.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
Rogers LS3/5A speakers.Presented it to kid brother on his wedding day.
First system was a Fisher Receiver with a turntale built in on top and separate speakers.Sturdy good sounding inexpensive.Owned KLH radio prior to that which I loved.
at either Schermerhorn Symphony Center, main floor (Nashville 2006-08) or Orchestra Hall, lower balcony (Chicago 1993-99).

Greetings from the sunny Brønshøj riveria on the banks of the lovely Utterslev Mose
Here's my top of the list.
On amps drving the LS3/5A (spendor limited edition) first on the list is a stromberg carlson 220, an integrated amp using 6V6 power tubes. Next is a Fisher x100B. Both these amps sound very good on the LS3/5A. The SC has more base, a luscious midrange, and a top end that does not overstate the LS's treble. The fisher x100B has a sweet mid to lower treble sound that makes female voices quite captivating.
Favorite hands down is the Quad 303 amplifier; I currently own 3, using 2 for bi-amping. Followed closely by my Audio Mirror TP-61 preamp, one of the great bargains in audio.
First system, circa 1970,(other than a Magnavox all in one with detachable speakers) was an Acoustic Research integrated amp, Wharfedale speakers (Don't remember the model) and Garrard TT with Shure cartridge.
My Sennheiser HD 650 and AKG 701 headphones .
They sound so good that I don’t care about the limitations of headphone sound.
They make me forget about the sound and just get into the music.

- great sounding and looking speakers for the money, have no urge to upgrade anytime soon
HI,
I've been at this game for over 50 years. I've had a lot of good equipment. Many of them are classics. It's really hard to single out particular pieces. My favorites are always the ones I currently own. After all, upgrades should always be better than the stuff they replace. The road is always upward and onward. Check my profile if you are curious.I have a special spot in my heart for my Nakamichi Dragon and my Audio Research D-250 Mk II power amp. These are special pieces.

Here she is......
I have 2 Stars, one in KOA and one in Rosewood. Sadly, I haven't listened to vinyl that much lately and these sit with a towel covering them up.
After seeing your beauty, I may try to get in the "habit" again. I've thought of selling but fear I would regret it.
Hi,
I definitely think you should give at least one of 'em a spin. My understanding is that the platter bearings on these are sealed, so I would guess that maybe all you need is a new belt, if it even needs that. I love the sound of analog -- and there is so much available today in terms of cartridges. You can almost "pick" the sound you want at most budget levels.
Digital is convenient to be sure, and can sound quite nice, but I like all of the little rituals surrounding vinyl playback. Well, okay, maybe not record cleaning but at least the activity pays you back (rather handsomely, I might add) for your inconvenience.
If you have any difficulties getting 'em back up and running, give Kirk or Donna a call at SOTA. They are really nice to work with.
Cheers, Joe
Sorry for being unclear. They both work perfectly, I just got out of the habit of playing records.
I started collecting tuners a couple years ago and they are the most fun now. My ritual is turning them on, centering scope, checking multipath, watch scope dance.
I just took a break in typing this. I'm now listening to Dave Grusin "Discoverd Again" spinning on the Sota. Sounding really nice. Thanks for the wake up call.

Hi,
Bubinga is one of Kirk's favorites (he's one of the owners of SOTA and a cabinetmaker by trade), and now I know why. The original pic doesn't really do it justice. Here's another that shows the beauty of the wood a little better. Too bad SOTA gets so little notice over in Vinyl. Their products are amazing (and so is their outstanding customer service). No affiliation, just a (very) happy owner.
Cheers, Joe
HI Joe,
I really agree about the lack of action for Sota in the Vinyl Asylum. I'm not sure why because these are excellent turntables. I prefer them to VPI's, especially the vacuum hold down models. As you probably know, both the Star and the Nova have the vac system. I like my turntables to SUCK. I notice on Audiogon that Sota's get a lot of action.
My first Sota was a Star Saphire with an ET-2 arm. I upgraded to a Sota Nova, which I still have, and kept the ET-2. I got Piano Black but after seeing your beauty I think I made a mistake. Yours is truly beautiful.
Sparky
Very pretty TT...

Which probably doesn't exist today......
The source closest to extracting the essence of the performance.
Not to derail this, but I'm actually curious about what Eminence coax's you heard :) The Betas with the APT supertweet?
They have a "divided horn" in the center..... I'll have to inquire on the actual driver.
It has been perfectly reliable and imminently upgradeable. It gets me closer to the music than any other table I've owned.
"bloated bass", right ... according to the "spring-less" crowd!! LOL!!
Regards,
Andy
Me too!

I really liked the Decware Zen Select I had...shouldn't have sold it :(
my favorite piece of equipment has to be my Odyssey Mono SEs with the "glass Cieling upgrades." Right behind them is also my Lorelie II's.
Actually I'm not sure which one I like the best, but the new amps are killers

Audio Note AN J/Spe speakers and OTO. To me it's a brilliant match which is more important than the individual components.
But I have to give props to my Cambridge CD 6 - not the best sounding by any means but I've had it 12 years now with heavy use and it still works like a charm - event he remote control is still going strong.
Started with an all Fisher stereo from the 1970s. Pretty horrific but you have to start somewhere. I've owned some horrific stuff in between that i actually paid rather a lot for which is why I stopped putting much credence in magazine reviews (with some exceptions).
which was stolen. Perhaps the 2nd fave were the Fulton FMI 80's stolen in the same robbery.
A survivor is my 2nd system's GAS Son of Amp, which was modded to GASworks level I. Very warm and strong, truly near tube like SS sound, but cleaner and more detailed than the MC 2100 I had.
First real audiophile type system, can't remember exactly, but I believe it was:
Dyna PAT 4a which became a GAS Thoebe, McIntosh MC 2100 which became a GAS Son, can't remember table but became my favorite first new Linn LP 12, FM was Dynaco AF 6, Cassette was Aiwa AD F660 and Tandberg TCD 310 mk I, and a pair of ESS Transtatic I speakers.
I still use or have stored many of these pieces, either with me or in functional family member's systems.
I sold my Dynaco, sometimes wonder if I will regret that.
My Magneplanar 1.6QR's, bought a couple of years ago and I expect to keep them forever.Ohm F's (with the full-range Walsh drives); not better than the Maggies, but I wished I'd kept them a lot longer than I did.
Apt Holman preamp; sold it fairly recently and reget doing so.
Denon TU-500 tuner; sold it recently but got a good price -- 4 times what I paid for the TU-767 replacement.
Monarchy SM-70 Pro amps; I use a pair as monoblocks; expect to keep them a long, long time.

...though it is hard to not cite the turntable system. I really like everything I have now, but I always want it to be better; I have the disease bad!
My first system started off with a pair of Magnepan MG-1 Improveds that I bought in college in Boulder. Things built from there, on and on for the last 27 years. Believe it or not, my main system has only ever had 2 CD players; that shows you where my priorities are!

Favorite piece is my Audio Physic Virgos, the first model. I am spending more and more time with the incredible new Harbeth 7ES-3s, but I will never part with the Virgos. No speaker I've ever heard images or throws a soundstage like they do. Brilliant.
My first system of separates was in 1970: JBL Century 100s (in dark brown), a Dual 1229 table with Shure M95E cartridge and a Pioneer SX-737 receiver, which, I believe, was 35 watts/ch. Zip cord, of course. It probably wouldn't sound too good today, but people used to drop in all the time to listen to new sounds. They don't anymore.
My current favorite piece of audio equipment is my Sony DVP-S7000. Yeah, it's a DVD player but I think I've watched video on it *once*.
Sony's flaqship DVD player when introduced, equipped with the audio section right out of Sony ES CD player. Overlooked in audio circles because of being a DVD player, most get resold cheap, a DIY tweakers dream.
Add in better Op-amps, premium caps on the audio board and power supply, some decent RCA chassis jacks, a good power plug and some soft recovery diodes and you're good to go. Sure there are better disc players out there, but they'll cost you waay more than the $200 you just spent.
A KLH fm tuner. Simple and elegant and small. I sold it for a
McIntosh tuner, and have regretted it ever since.
Magnepan 1.4 speakers. Magnepan has not bettered this one yet.
Like a fool, I sold mine.
Original Advent loudspeakers. My soon-to-be-3rd-ex-wife has them and
has zero appreciation of their excellent qualities. I may have to
rescue them from her, somehow.
EAD Ultradisc 2000 cd player. It's ten years old, and it still sounds
incredible. I'm not letting this one go until it goes up in smoke or
I can't get repair parts - which becomes ever more likely as time goes
on since it used the old Pioneer stable platter drive system.

***"What is your favorite piece of audio equipment you have owned "***
My Heathkit W5M monoblocks. Oh Baby! Listen to them all the time.
and /or
***"what was the first system you had?"***
Mid 70's.
Harman Kardon quad receiver. Big & heavy (I can't remember the model) with a joy stick to control the 4 speakers.
4 large Advent speakers.
Dual 1219 TT.
music has the power to make you happy
All time fav piece*...easy, "Don Garber's Fi pre",(running a PP 300B amp w/ 4 WE 300Bs). Music to die for!! :)Not sure why I ever sold it but a new pre is soon to be available from Don that I look very forward to.
And just to be fair; least fav piece*...also easy, Wolcott 220 monos(over rated and less than truthful customer service)! :(
*as always, YMMV. ;)
Favorite equipment, might need a list.
I am sorry I sold a mint Sansui TU-9900 tuner.
I am sorry I sold a mint Denon rosewood plinth TT
I still like looking at my Marantz 2270.
My first system: I was around 16.
Eico tube integrated with one channel out, that was the left channel.
Laffeyette tube rec with the radio and one channel out, that was the right channel.
Pilot tube FM tuner without the multiplexer, whatever that was.
Rek-o-Kut TT with Sure cart and plywood plinth. It had an on/off switch and that was it. Leather belt.
Speakers were some pressed carboard something with a line of three full range drivers. I hung them on the the wall with string.

My speaker building site
Sony D-5
the original portable CD player with a battery pack that took 6 C-cells! I was so cool in high school....
Harmon Kardon HD500
HK's first CD player, in champagne. Wish I still had it
Adcom GCD-575
boy, did that sound good
Harmon Kardon HK230A
just love the way it looks, and it's so small
B&K ST-2020
absolutely LOVE this amp, I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Energy C-2
great speakers--true 40Hz extension from 6.5" monitors
Wireworld, Ultralink, and XLO/VDO wires/cables
decent prices and will have something in their range to work with any system
My first "real" system, in 1988, was:
HK230A receiver
Pioneer CT-2121 tape deck
Sony D-5 CD player
Homemade/hacked speakers w/ 10ga Original Monster Cable
It actually wasn't so bad--sounded way better than it should have
I still have the receiver, tape deck, and speakers.
The first system I was really happy with:
HK 6500 integrated
Adcom GCD-575 CD player
Denon DRM-700 3-head tape deck
KEF C-25 speakers
Monster Interlink 400 on the CD player
Original 10ga Monster speaker cable
To my ears at the time this system was quite good and only committed errors of omission.
Still using the integrated and speakers in the A/V system.
Of course, my current components are listed in the inmate systems.

Mucking around the low-end since 1986.
All-time favorite: Acoustic Research AR9 loudspeakers. Bought them new about 1980 and still enjoy them immensely today. My wife and I went searching for a replacement in 2002 just for the heck of it and liked Vienna Acoustic Mahlers the best. But in the end we decided that, to our ears, the AR9s outperformed the Mahlers. So much for the idea of retiring our ol' reliable musical friends.
First system, purchased by saving up car-wash money in high school: Marantz 26 receiver (a 14-watt/channel powerhouse!), a pair of small Electro-Voice loudspeakers (forget model, but they had whizzer cones in place of tweeters), Dual 1215 turntable with Shure M91E phono cartridge. Coincidentally, I tried the Shure cartridge last week for fun (it has sat unused since about 1978), and it certainly sounds lousy ("clanky" and hard upper midrange and treble, but decent bass and mids).
My all time favorite piece of equipment was probably my AR-XB turntable.
Utterly simple, utterly straight forward, and almost indestructible.
Fave pieces owned: Yamaha KX500 for features, Lite Audio DAC60 for allowing me to finally enjoy the sound of CD, Plinius 9200 for taking the clang out of solid state amplification.
First system owned:
Dual CS-505
Sony TA-F35 amplifier
JVC KD-D4 cassette deck
KEF CODA II speakers
JVC TX-1 tuner
Yamaha CDX-810 CD player (added a few years later)
From as far back as the 1970's, I'd always wanted to own a Nak 3-head cassette deck (I had a Teac A-350).I eventually bought the Nak 1.5 in the mid-1990s, only to have it stolen during a burglary a few years later - by which time Nakamichi had temporarily stopped making cassette decks, so wound up with a Yamaha instead.
Then cassette died...
:-(

Favorite is easily my turntable, an Acoustic Signature Final Tool that I stole from Agon. A bit of a statement piece (but then any turntable in a system these days is a statement!!).
First system I believe came from my godparents - a little Realistic integrated, tuner, and cassette deck, and some speakers that had a horn mid/tweet. I guess it wasn't anything particularly special, but it was mine.

Back in '73 the first real system I had was a Pioneer 727 receiver, Thorens TD165 turntable with a V-15III cartridge, and a pair of Pioneer CS63DX speakers.
I guess the turntable is my favorite because I still have it and use it.
Rod
...were my favorite because they ushered me into high end audio.The Dahlquists sounded like nothing else I had heard at the time and I auditioned a lot of speakers. They sounded like real, live music playing with sound coming from in-between, around and behind the speakers. I thought they were amazing.
That was my second audio system in the late 1970s - I used Dahlquist subwoofers, their electronic crossover and bi-amped them. Had a Kenwood KD-500 turntable, Black Widow arm and ADC XLMII cartridge and had a dedicated music room that was a detached cinder-block garage converted to a family room.
My first sytem out of college in the earlier 1970s was a Kenwood Quadraphonic receiver, Infinity speakers on the front and KLH speakers ont he rear with a Dual turntable/record changer.
I was single and living in the Belmont Shores part of Long Beach about 3 blocks from the ocean. Ahhh, the good old days.
Today, although I still have a big system, my 160GB iPod would be my favorite, because I can take all my favorite music everywhere I go now.
Sherwood S-8900A receiver...........bought as demo's.
DIY Wolverine/EV speakers...........12" Wolverine's/T-35 EV horns.
Garrard TT w/Shure M91-ED cart......cannot remember model #?

Favorite piece of audio equipment:Quad electrostatic speakers
First system:
AR XA turntable modified for Grace G-707 arm, Shure V15 something cartridge
Kenwood L-07T/II FM tuner
DIY Leach FET preamp
Dynaco Stereo 70
Quad electrostatic speakers
Leach preamp aside, all pretty classic stuff circa 1982.
Since then I've gone through 4 turntables (new AR turntable, VPI HW-19-II, Linn LP-12 and Lenco), 2 tonearms (Rega RB-300, Origin Live Rega RB-250), multiple cartridges (Audioquest 404H, Technics EPC-205 III, Adcom XC-MR, Shure V-15 VMR, Shure V-15 VxMR, ATML-170), 4 preamps (van Alstine modified PAS-3, Music Reference RM-5 Mk II, Sony TA-E88) , 3 amplifiers (Berning EA-230, Miyabe VP-300BD, Rogue Atlas), 1 tuner (McIntosh MR-67). Primary speaker has stayed the same throughout. Just listing it seems like a lot but it was probably 4-5 years between changes in most cases.
Naming one favorite component or piece seems almost pointless, as with my system they're all so dependent on the other pieces. My "favorite" individual components alternate from month to month (DAMN! I love those Trente!, MAN the SP3A is GREAT!, the CHEETAH are FANTASTIC! This Will Vincent Dyna 70 is the BEST thing I ever bought!) but the SYSTEM is what it's all about.It'd be like naming my favorite wire, capacitor or tube in a given piece. If I get to the point were I'm listening too much to individual equipment pieces that means I'm probably NOT listening or focusing enough on the music.
I equally like all the pieces of my system, and they were specifically chosen to interact in harmony with each other in the specific space they are assigned to. Slight upgrades in cables, and tweaks to the system have brought more to its sound, and will bring more to it.
First decent system I had I bought in 1978. Klipsch Heresys, Pioneer SX-750 and a Thorens TD-145. That cost me a cool $1,100 (way more than I could afford at 19!) but kept me happy for over 20 years. The Heresy's were my favorite of that trio.
My current system is listed in my profile.
I love the sum of the pieces!
"...You're all welcome to stay for the next set...we're going to play all the same tunes, but in different keys..." -Count Basie
1. Marantz 10b
2. McIntosh 2105/c28/mr77/ML 1c speakers.
HI,
Do you still have the 10B? Certainly a classic.
Sparky
Yes I do. I was listening to it in my main system for a couple of hours earlier tonight. I'll sometimes walk by it and pause to look at it even if it's not on.
HI,
Every once in a while I wander into ebay and search on the 10B. Usually there is at least one listed. Some are really nice. All are very expensive. All are worth the money.
My problem, and the reason I have not made the jump, is that I don't seriously listen to FM anymore. Oh, I have several decent tuners and I do use them but only for background. That would be a waste for a classic like the 10B.
I love the 10B. But for me it would serve more as a piece of hi fi art than as an essential part of my system. Kind of like having the Mona Lisa in my equipment rack.
Over the years, there has not been a piece of hi fi equipment that has appealed to me as much as the 10B. Maybe someday.............
Sparky
It would be a lot of money for just background/not serious listening.NOBODY can reliably predict the future, but here is my 2 cents: with herd mentality the prices may drop with digital broadcasts coming. It will only be temporary as there will be converter boxes for those broadcasts, people will get over their fear, then the price will start back up. They are of limited supply and legenday status, some of the ingredients for an appreciating asset. If you keep an eye open, you may find your dream. Good luck.
Mcshane upgraded mac mc60s and citation 2s and Martin Logan monolith 2 ESLs with mac c20 preamp..I rotate my tube amp collection and there are over 100 tube amps,all vintage.Those are my favorites tho..I do love my altec 1530s and the 1570s but I am upgrading those as we speak.
driven by A 70 watt Dynaco amp. They were huge, bigger was better! This was in an isolated cabin on a hilltop in the redwoods of La Honda, Ca. It took four us to schlep them up the 220 step path to the cabin. I had no neighbor within a mile of the property, boy they could play loud and they were largely flat.
They are now being manufactured again but I no longer have the room and now I have neighbors. Jimi Hendrix or the Dead played thru these was just like being there live.....that was because they played live through identical speakers.
driven by a Sansui receiver tuned to KFAT, fun times.
Cheers
a shop in Denver let me demo,I was 23, the rest is ......
Favorite Piece of Equipment: Magnepan MG20.1s
First System:
Homemade Knight 3-way speaker in a non-braced, non-stuffed Plywood Box covered in white vinyl
Heathkit integrated tube amp
Heathkit tuner
Gerrard Turntable (with requisite nickel weighting the cartridge for tracking, Ouch!)
High End (LOL) Lamp Cord wiring
2 foot wide door covered in white vinyl between the speakers as equipment rack
I loved that system. IT WAS STEREO!

What's your favorite piece and what was the first system you owned?
Give me rhythm or give me death!
my first system was a handed down Longines Symphonette that I believe was originally purchased at a gas station. I immediately added on a set of 2 way Llyods that I purchased at a grocery store with money from delivering papers.
I think my favorite single piece of equipment was a Harman Kardon HK 3500 tape deck because it was my first piece of any quality and just had an amazing look. It had huge vu meters and was bigger than many power amps!
As a side note I remember growing up in the 70's and my neighbor had an amazing stereo and the first time I heard it I was hooked. I've been chasing the dream ever since!
The year was 1979, I just sent theTubeGuy1954 and similar thread, I was in college and had spent every dime I had earned during the previous summer doing construction work. My parents did not know about this. conrad-johnson PV-1, Accuphase P-300, Rega Planar 2 with a Grace 707 arm, Ortofon MC and a brand new pair of DCM Timewindows. A little Monster speaker cable, tennis balls under the Rega, an Accustat static gun for the LP's and I was absolutely in Heaven. Oh, and a Discwasher. My friends thought I was nuts. Unfortunately, Christmas night of 1980, my home was broken into and the first thing carted out was the stereo. I'm still not over it, but I am trying to recover with a middle age crazy buying spree.
I feel bad about your loss.Did you have insurance? Well, you had such a good system, atruly audiophile system.I sure hope you would be able to put together a similar or a better system.I lost a Sansui turntable and an Akai cassette player in 1979 from my car in 10 minutes time when I went up the apartment building to see my brother in Brooklyn.A coat hanger had been used to pry down the window and open the door.I went to that neck of the woods last year and the place is now teeming with million dollar IT guys.I got money from the insurance but I made a big mistake by buying a Sansui cassette deck and an Akai turntable.Horrible.
My lucky day....I told my parents about the break-in and had to confess as to what was actually stolen. This satisfied my dad's previous bewilderment as to why I was always broke during the Fall semester when he knew good and well that I had made "good" money over the Summer. He let me know that he had taken out a renters rider on my apartment. I did not receive the settlement check. He held it in escrow for me until I graduated several years later. I bought a diamond ring and a trip to Grand Cayman in 1985.
