I started off in mono with a Mullard 5/10.
I progressed to a Dynatron 10+10 watt solid state amp in a self built case.
When I got married I moved on to a JVC receiver, can't remember the model,
Then I bought a Marantz 1090 which I still have thirty years later.
On to a pair of Maplin 4/20 valve amps,
Then some AVC EL34 amps.
And now I have a pair of Jolida Music Envoy 211's.
Upstairs I have a pair of those Chinese Naim clones like the Gigaworks ones which sound quite good but I'm moving up with a pair of NCC200s courtesy of MisterC6.
