    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    I've still got:

    Sony STR-7015 receiver that my father bought me to go away to college in 1977.
    Pair of Infinity Qe's that I bought a year or two later
    Pair of Berning ea-230's from, I think, about 1981
    Micro Seiki BL-51 that I bought in 1981 or 2
    A PS Audio Elite + integrated amp from 1984, recently acquired and serviced
    One pair of original Sequerra Met 7's and two pairs of Met 7 Mk. II's, bought from Dick in about 1985
    A Macintosh MR74, recently acquired
    A Scott 310A tuner
    A Heath A-7 amp.
    A Superphon Revelation Basic dual mono preamp - mid 80's?

    It all works fine!!

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    I got rid of all my vintage gear when got out of this hobby back in the day... jumping back in a few years ago I have tried a lot of different gear, relearning ...

    Well all my tubes are NOS, so I don't really count those... but I picked up a museum quality McIntosh that looks and sounds like the day it rolled out of the factory. Growing up in the shadow of the McIntosh factory I simply need one of their pieces...

    The 754 amplifier is from about 1990... so pushing 30 years old...

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    I just remembered the Technics tuner... it is from back in the late '70s early '80s. I actually had one in my system back in the day. It is also pictured in the photo above .

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    I own a number of tube tuners for the 1950's. I have four Fisher brand and a couple H.H. Scott. Also a Mac MR55 which is their first tuner. It is mono AM/FM with provision for adding a multiplex unit.

    My oldest is an HH Scott 272 from 1960 with a Empire 398 turntable from 1963. I also have a pair of Cornscala's that started out as a circa 1981 Cornwall's and modified about 11 years ago. My newest is a Bluesound Vault 2 which is fantastic!!!

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    My oldest must be the Conrad Johnson PV-5 preamp. I think it was made in '84 or '86, although my Kef R107's were around the same time.

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    In my shop I have a Marantz 2230 with mahogany case from 1972-74. Feels like a time warp each time I turn it on. I have only owned it for 15 years or so but purchased it for the nostalgia. It plays through a pair of Radio Shack Minimus 7 speakers. I have a pair of Spica TC50's in storage that still sound amazing for what they were and cost.

    So how old is your "oldest" component?

    Audio Research SP-11, circa 1987. Getting ready to compare it to my ARC LS27 that's been running in my downstairs setup for the past 5 months. Should be an interesting comparison for me. Both are excellent sounding preamplifiers.

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    One that I use as my main source component is my Ampex ATR-102 tape machine which dates from the late '70's, a bit older than my 40 year old daughter. My other ATR-102 dates from the same period, although I only use it for dubbing tapes. My prize collection of 200 reels of safety master tapes dates from the late '70's to late '80's. Next oldest, again in very frequent use when I am digitizing my analogue collection is my Pacific Microsonics Model Two which dates from the late '90's to about 2000. That puts it around the same age as my Avantgarde Duo speakers and Cary 2A3 Monoblock SET amps which drive them. I bought all of these used, starting about 12 years ago.

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    Hello all. While "technically" not a component in the main rig or secondary rig, it is the oldest.

    It is on route (being shipped) to the house as I type this. It is a 1923 Stewart Warner tubed radio, Model 300.

    I thought it would be a cool piece of kit to be displayed in the stereo room.

    Re: So how old is your "oldest" component?

    the oldest component in my system is also the best sounding one; the MR 70 tape preamps, from 1965. 4 of them. they are hot rodded. they do use Nuvistor tubes from 1965.

    the second oldest component in my system are my two Ampex ATR-102 tape decks joined to the MR 70 preamps, from 1976, they are also both hot rodded.
